    Canning today?

    Or have you done some this week? Making the best out of a poor garden this year. Tomatoes are below average due to rain here in Ohio. Making a triple batch of bread and butter pickles today. Maybe a batch of pickled onions.

    Just working with the garlic today here. Doesn't look like I will be canning much this year again. Did ferment some dilly beans though and they turn out yummy.

    Got the first few green beans, . . . 12 pints sitting on the shelf back there.

    Won't be any banner year this year, . . . too much rain.

    But, be thankful for what ya get is how I look at it.

    May God bless,

    Yes a bad year for sure way too much rain. I always put up the extra in the good years because no ones knows what will happen for the next year. My beans are just starting out. I think I will have plenty but my tomatoes are going downhill quick.

    Busy weekend. As a family we canned 61 quarts of applesauce this weekend. The reference book I have on canning says approx 3 lbs apples per quart. Rough estimate I used around 160 lbs so that was a nice surprise in saving. Still have apples left to pick. Going to dehydrate some as they get ripe. Next up Cowboy candy!

    Yes I agree. This will be the third year I have made it and its popular. My wife even likes it especially on nachos.
