Title: Got more canning done.
Post by: Elfie on August 26, 2017, 12:46:56 PM
Just 6 pints of corn and 9 pints of salsa.
Not to bad for 1st batch of tomatoes.
Maybe 3 more runs to my fav corn farm and that will be done.  The rest of my tomatoes I'll just cam em whole.
It's easier  lol

12 jars of jam, 6 quarts more of tomatoes.  Also did 4 experimental jars of pickled carrot, onion, jalapeno.  I hope that works out... this weekend I have to do jalapeno jelly. 
Anyone got canning going on? Looking for something different.

Now you guys just gave me a hint on what should I do with the tomatoes on the fridge.

I don't know what innate urge causes me to want to grow and preserve food. I must have starved in a past life, or something.  :unsure:
It takes a lot of hard work and money to grow and preserve my garden.
I threw my back out digging potatoes last Fall, but there was no way I was going to leave them in the ground for the bugs to eat.
I am financially able to buy whatever foods I want, so I just don't get why I am so compelled to garden.
Oh!! A few years ago, I bought a greenhouse and now I can grow food almost year round. I love it.

I attempt a "basic" garden every year but unfortunately I never have the time for it. 

This Spring will be different since I am finally retiring.  No more 12 hours of my day being gone....
