The maple syrup was down to one jar and the raspberry syrup ran out long ago, so it was time to make up another batch of each. With a little extra time during Louis' nap before supper, I started a batch of raspberry syrup. It's simmering in the pot below ... just waiting for it to get thick enough to ladle into jars.
I'd ladled everything into jars and had poured the last bit into a smaller jar. Some spilled down the side of the jar, so it needed to be cleaned up. I didin't want to create a sticky lid, so I started wiping down the jar ... without putting the lid on it. AND ... I created the mess shown below.
Who would've thought 1/2 to 3/4 cup of syrup could create such a huge mess. The pic doesn't even show the big splat that landed on my right pant leg. Thank goodness the jar didn't break and thank goodness my beige shoes we not covered in syrup (just a couple little spots - easy to clean).
You know, if someone were to just look at that second picture and not the first, I would have to say that someone needed immediate medical attention! ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad it cleaned up well!
