I made a few jars of grape jelly, pear preserves and pear butter. Oh and a few jars of grape syrup that didn't jell ;)

Corn a couple of weeks ago; beans last week; tomato sauce today; more tomatoes this week.
|
Tomorrow is pear day. I have about a bushel to can. I wish I had tomatoes, but mine never bloomed and they are pretty expensive by the bushel.
|
Try freezing some if you have room. And if you're unsure as to what will and what won't freeze, go to your biggest grocery store and look through their freezers. I'll bet you'll be surprised at what will freeze nicely.
And during "The" war, I remember my Grandma canning peaches with one pit included and 5 or 6 whole cloves, because getting hold of sugar to add to it was nearly impossible at that time. She'd add sugar or honey to whatever she made from them during the winter. |
Wish I had something to can. It was too hot for anything to grow this year.
|
Cake for R&R. Want to minimize the amount of cooking then.
|
I am on my last jar of strawberry, completely out of blackberry, cherry, apple, peach, pear..
I foresee canning in my near future.. :shock: |
Wish I could. Bad back.
|
I wish..the heat did our garden in...I have NOTHING to can...really had hoped to do up a 1/2 bushel of pickles this year..sigh...
I don't can salsa any more..easier to freeze the tomatoes and make it fresh when we want it... oh, but I did buy the CO peaches and put some of those up now if only I could get a bushel of green beans and some cukes I would be set...sigh |
I froze 3 bushels of corn, canned 50 quarts of greenbeans, now I have peaches to put up, not sure if I am gonna freeze them or can them.
