Tis the season..

The painting got put on hold for a couple weeks for the canning. I went up to the Farm in Layton after work on a Wednesday to pick tomatoes. The girls were such big helpers and we got two boxes full. Thursday and Friday were spent canning tomatoes. Then I decided I really wanted to make salsa. So we went up to the Farm on Friday and picked another box of tomatoes and I spend the next day making salsa all day long. The following week I got a box of apples and Angela (my girlfriend) and I made apple pie filling. In there I also got a box of peaches.
So I ended up with
28 quarts of Tomatoes
40 pints of Salsa
7 quarts of peaches
7 pints of Peach Jam
17 quarts of Apple Pie filling

Yummy stuff! I all ready have a list of things I want to try to can next year! I can't wait. I love being able to fill the food storage with things I canned myself.

Wow! You're amazing. Always wanted to can - just don't think I have the patience! Good job! Love the house pictures by the way!
