I redid the beet jam that did not set & I got almost a full extra jar & you can see where I have scraped the last little bits trying to fill the jar but alas it was not to be lol so rather then waste an extra lid I did a tinfoil one as this will have to go in the fridge! I added the leftover Black Cherry Berry bit & the extra Beet bit as well. Then I did 2 batches of tomato soup & this is all that I have left till the garden gives me more. It will give me a much needed break LOL. This time I was able to save a wee bit that would not fit into the jars so guess what I had for lunch lol
