Jelly Reality by grammyn

Jelly Reality

I recently posted a moderately well composed shot of some preparations for making jam. Today it was jelly and this is the reality. Mess everywhere. Getting the juice out of blackberries to make jelly (because there are just too many seeds) took way more time than I wanted it to and was way messier than normal. This shot is completely unposed. All I did was scoot it all together to get it into the frame.
Confirming my resolution to never make jelly. Too much work. Bet it’ll be good though .

I knew there was a good reason to buy it! But I'll bet your's tastes better.

Good for you doing this! it looks like time consuming, messy but rewarding.

Reminds me of Hubby’s bread making. At least his don’t have staining ingredients. Hope you got good results.

Looks and sounds like when hubby makes guava jelly, just the colour is not as bad! The effort is always worth it though :-)

Cooking just isn't always as neat as the cooking shows would have you belief.

Great reality shot.

Love. Jelly is very messy!

Was it with it?

@mcsiegle If someon had not given me free blackberries I never would have done it
@randystreat I was definitely questioning my life choices before I was done!
@dutchothotmailcom yes, yes and yes Thanks Esther
@shutterbug49 You aren't wrong about the staining but I did get good results
@ludwigsdiana There is something about fresh made that is more satisfying than store bought for sure. Lucky you that hubby makes it for you
@30pics4jackiesdiamond only a small portion of it actually. The foam I skimmed off the top was delicious!
@joansmor isn't that the truth?!
@la_photographic Thanks so much Laura
@homeschoolmom Thank you Lisa it sure is!
@rensala not at all during the process but definitely after it was all done! ;>}
@tunia I did eat the foam I skimmed off the top but haven't had any in the jar yet

See… you have such innate composition skills that even when you just “scoot it all together” it comes out well composed. Look at it with your photographer eyes and tell me that is not a well composed photo!

Nice shot but way more effort than I’d like to put in

@marilyn awww you say the nicest things!❤️
@kjarn I was starting to feel the same way before I was done, Kathy!

It looks like a lot of effort to do this. I'm sure the outcome was delicious though.

@madamelucy this particular kind is very labor-intensive but you are right it is good too.

I bet it was good and worth the mess!

@eudora It was very good but I’m not sure whether it’s worth the mess or not!

It would be far messier in my kitchen- and it would probably land on something white and ruin it! I do like the "decisive moment" aspect of this kitchen shot.

@olivetreeann You are only seeing a portion of the mess here but I really appreciate your support
