Canning

Well, to add to the craziness of this time since I have 4 boys in soccer on 4 different teams, it is the time of year to put up all the bounty from our garden.  I love gardening but spending the last 2 weeks canning can get tiring.

I have done 22 pints of salsa.  I still need to do another batch.  3 quart bags of frozen peas.  7 quarts of corn.  7 pints nectarine jam.  5 pints of apple jelly.  

15 pints of peach jam.   16 quarts of peaches.

12 quart bags of frozen beans. 17 quarts of beans in jars. 

I also harvested 25 pounds of potatoes which are in cold storage.

 This is the size of potatoes and tomatoes that grew this year.  The ball is a softball.

24 quarts of spaghetti sauce. 

Several varieties of squash in cold storage.  Wait till you see the pumpkins on the Halloween post.

I still have that last batch of salsa and to can my carrots.

If you have any questions on how to can produce.  My favorite site is here.

I do enjoy all of the fresh veggies and so have my neighbors.
