7/19/10: 20 pints of GA peaches, canned in white grape juice; 19 of which sealed (my friend Cori canned along with me while our kids played; we all had a blast!); Presto recipe
7/24/10: 3 half-pints of peach-white grape jelly, made with the juice we cooked the peaches in on 7/19 ; Sure-Gel no-sugar recipe; I used no sugar at all (you can choose how much to use) and (big shock!) it's quite tart!; Sure-Gel recipe
8/7/10: 4 pints of dill pickles (2 with garlic; 2 without); BBB recipe
When Aaron (age 6) saw the pickles spears neatly packed into the wide-mouth jars, he asked, "how'd you do that?!" as though I had turned water into wine, which naturally filled me with pride. He had been expecting pickle "coins".
Slow canning month due to travels and a torn-up kitchen (we got new flooring and fridge this week - I'm in heaven!).
I'm eagerly anticipating apple and pear season! I had also hoped to can some of our raspberries this fall (normally we only freeze them) in the form of jam and pie filling, but I'm not sure we'll have a crop at all due to way too much rain. :(
