What a weekend!

It has been years since I’ve done any amount of canning in “one go”. Well, I managed to put up 60 lbs of peaches, 20 lbs of apricots, 20 lbs of plums, and 60 lbs of tomatoes over the past three days! I was going to take a picture of all of my canning, but I really don’t think the table would hold it all! Things I made:

• Tomato Bouillon (in quarts)
• Crushed Tomatoes (in pints)
• Diced Tomatoes (in pints)
• Bruschetta in a jar (1/2 pints)
• Peach Lemonade Concentrate
• Sliced Peaches
• Hoppin’ Habanero Peach Jam
• Apricots in syrup (won’t do them again… too ripe to do properly)
• Apricot jam
• Strawberry Jam
• Blackberry Jelly
• Pickled onions

Over the next week, I plan to make

• Bread & Butter Peppers (sweet & hot mix)
• Pickled Beets
• Fennel/onion relish
• Harvard Beets
• Cans of Borscht
• Dried peppers (green)

Things I have to start doing soon:
Canning soup for quick lunches!

I’m so glad I’ve got support and ideas from one of the best food preservation groups out there!
Food Preservation Drying Canning And More

I do promise to show you some of the stuff I did this weekend – soon! But until then, I’ve gotta get busy doing something special!!!! I’ll be posting a project in just a couple of days! Stay tuned!
