Total agreement on homemade vs supermarket. Just have to be willing to put in the time.
That week of using up fruit was --incredibly-- tiring, though I only ended up in the chair once. *cheers* Now just hoping it lasts a bit. The speed at which my housemates can go through fruit goo is insane.
I need to find a jelly or candy thermometer, though, if I ever decide to try actual jellies again. Not sure if I will - they seem ridiculously wasteful as far as fruit in to product out goes, and I tend to prefer things with bits in them anyway.

Did you use grape leaves in the pickles?
