Sometimes my friends wonder where I am in September and October. Well, probably in the kitchen! I have to admit that this year I did more canning than I have ever done in the past so it’s possible six or sever weekends were decided to this task.
I often think about women in year’s past who had to ensure they had enough food for their family through the winter. I have no real concept of how much work that was but I do know how much work the jars I prepared were! Thankfully my husband is often around and will help chop or peel tomatoes. 😉
Here’s a list of all the things I ended up with this year!
- Tomato sauce
- Tomato juice
- Green tomato pickles
- Pickled beets
- Apple sauce
- Apple butter
- Peppy Salsa
- Ketchup
- Plum sauce
- Zucchini Pickles
- Turnip pickles (not a typo!)
- Crushed tomatoes
- Pickled mustard asparagus
- Dried tomatoes
- Chutney (at least four kinds!)
- Crabapple jelly
- Strawberry jam
- Raspberry jam
- Morning Cheer marmalade
- Carrot pepper salsa
- Pickled asparagus
