Canning


This Fall has bee very productive as far as being in the kitchen. I am trying to preserve as much as possible since it is healthier and saves money. Many of my friends can and Dulce was kind enough to spend many hours with me. It was actually very relaxing and I learned a lot! My parent's gave us apples and peaches. Dulce gave us pears and tomatoes. And then more apples. I have more in the garage but I think we will just eat those. Kathy gave us a strainer to use and I am addicted to it!! Man alive this thing saved us! Even Dulce (who has a farm and cans EVERYTHING) had never heard of such a thing. Before we had finished our first batch of applesauce, she was logged on to Amazon searching for one to buy. The kids helped with much of it and Eli was right in the middle of it. Made for an interesting process. He would take a bite out of every 2-3 peaches and then throw them on the floor. I will definiately can next year and hopefully add pickles (Scott's request).
