Good thing the lid was on

Did you know that glass jars of jam can explode while being canned? Well they can. Got up and took Adira to pick blueberries this morning. Picked 13.5#, of which 2#'s got turned in to sugar free jam. This is where the exploding came in. Probably an old jar that got a weakness somewhere. Tomorow I'll make several jars of blueberry pie filling and some sugar based jam, then feeze the rest for pancakes and such. Off to Greenwich now to pick up Alyssa, who has spent the weekend at my mother's exceedingly stuffy country club(all white tennis wear only) with my mother, and watch the fireworks there before driving home tonight. Mark wil be taking Adira to Nara Park in Acton MA which has a nice display apparently.
