Fish and Ships

Jerry and Sherry were very fond of cherry jelly. Every year in July, they would jump in their jeep and head for the orchard, where they would pick a few bushels of the fruit in a jiffy. Then they would carry their cherished treasure to Sherry's house, where they would proceed to change the berries into their favourite treat. They used an old-fashioned recipe, which called for sugar, gelatine, and of course, jillions of cherries. They stirred the mixture in a huge aluminium pot, then gently poured it into shallow jars. They shared a few samples with the children, but the majority of the batch would be saved until January or February when they could enjoy it even more.
