Bringing the grand total to:
31 jars of applesauce
6 jars of spaghetti sauce *all with my own tomatoes!!
I feel a lot better about the canning process this year since I didn't poison anyone last year. But it is time consuming.
I still have a bag of apples and I'm debating another round of sauce next weekend or maybe just lots of apple pies. But I sure did like that applesauce in December last year. And we did run out in January...
I have used just about every jar I own. I have a lot of half pint jars from all of the apple butter that I made. I'm not doing that again because I didn't love it and it took FOREVER to cook. And wasted a lot of apples and jars!
K-ster is supposed to get me some cranberries soon, so I'll make some cranberry sauce. I'd like to find a recipe for a cranberry apple chutney that won't kill me when I open it in a few months. The USDA doesn't seem to have a recipe for that and I only use their approved recipes because they claim to test them all to perfection.
I have no time for botulism.
I felt like Laura Ingalls Wilder going out today to get more jars, lids, pea seeds for a fall crop and boot laces. Like I was going into town, to the dry goods store, for Ma.
I should have bought a bolt of calico while I was there.

Nice work! I only got 7 quarts of apples canned this weekend. And one of those 7 didn't seal for some reason, so we had it for dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteWell, most of mine are pints or half pints, so I'm not too far ahead of you! And I had 2 out of all of them not seal. That always freaks me out!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome and looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI really don't have time for botulism either. Although, it might be nice to be stricken with something maybe just a little less serious. Just so I could get in some nap time and tv watching.
