canning...school....canning....school
|
This week has been full of canning....school....canning....school..... I have done tons of peaches and tomatoes this week. DH's grandma has a big peach tree and she gave us three boxes of peaches.....I didnt know we were getting these or I would have bought the 3 boxes I had last week.....sigh.....I have frozen, dried, and canned peaches and did peach nectar. I have done over 30 qts of salsa and 20 qts of tomato sauce. Tomorrow I have 4-5 boxes of tomatoes to do so I will probably do more tomato sauce and ketchup. DH loves home made ketchup. On top of this, this starts our 2nd week of school. I dont want to get behind, like I always do during canning season, so I have made sure we have got everything in on top of doing the canning.....the house has kind of fallen apart, but this too will pass and I will catch up on cleaning after it is done. Next week, DH's grandma has a whole tree of yummy plums that we can go pick. We plan on juicing most of them, but I will probably do about a dozen pints of plum jam. I also got a great recipe for jalapeno jelly that I plan on making soon too! DD's primary teacher gave her a jar at church and we had it on biscuits last Sunday. IT WAS YUMMY! |
