Plum Picking

For the past 3 years or so, we go and pick plums and then make jelly for the year. The boys love doing it, and look forward to it each year. It is definitely a really cool learning experience for kids to go and get something from the earth and then use it. Quite often as they are having a PB & J, they talk about the jelly and how we went and got the fruit, and then made their favorite jelly. I think it will always be one of our family traditions that we do each fall.
