I am up to my ears in putting the harvest by.....

Posted on Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 06:16

When we bought this place, we knew God had blessed us but didn't really get the full feel of it until here lately. 

Our harvest of pears and muscadines have been coming in daily.....

Here are the muscadines in my sink.  I think I have had about 4 sinks full so far.  I have made bronze muscadine jelly and purple.  The bronze tastes better but the purple is beautiful.

Here's a clothes basket full of pears.  We have picked 2 clothes baskets full.  I have made pear butter, pear preserves, and spiced pears out of them.  I will make a few more jars of pear preserves and then the rest will just be made into canned pears.  I got my recipe for pear preserves fromRegina at Skeeter Creek Farms and we LOVE them.  They are perfect.

Here are a couple of pictures of the harvest on my shelves.  I hope for Dh, to one day make me shelving specifically just for all of my canned items.   So far I have 49 jars of muscadines and pears filled.  I have a lot more to pick and am just about out of jars.  So I will have to purchase some more. 

I am so thankful for all that God has provided.  It has kept me busy and I am worn out with canning but I know when we are eating hot buttered biscuits with homemade canned muscadine jelly, this winter, we will be ever so thankful.

I also worked on my little plot for my fall garden.  I hope to put out lettuce, brocolli, carrots, and cauliflower tomorrow.

Blessings,

Trixi

WOW! Those are some pretty jars you've put up. I love the pears and cinnamon sticks. I've read that muscadines are really high in antioxidants and so good for you. I've made some jelly before from fruit a lady at church gave me. I might ask her if she's got any since I see they are ripe now. : )
