Posted in Disasters, Recipes at 9:25 am by The Chef

From someone going by the name of Slagathor:

2 pounds pitted black cherries
2 pounds blueberries
1 pound blackberries
2 packets of liquid pectin
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
5 cups sugar
pinch of glass from 1 broken candy thermometer

mash fruit with clean potato masher

hard boil ingredients for 1 minute (220 degrees)

jar in sterilized jars and process in boiling water canner for 10 minutes depending on altitude

throw entire batch away after discovering broken thermometer

Apparently, this happened with $40 worth of hand-picked organic fruits.
