‘Puttin’ By’ time!

 

It has been a BUSY few weeks. Canning, baking, canning, freezing….canning. lol

It is PRIME food preservation time in my neck of the woods–we’ve been putting up berries, jams, applesauce, pickles–not to mention baking loaves of banana bread & zucchini chocolate chip bread (the ol’ mans favorite! :) , I’ve been dehydrating onions (also chopping and freezing them into recipe sized bags, making ‘minced onion’ and ‘onion powder’) but this is just the warm up to later this month and early next month when the family favorite comes in– PEARS.  I can NOT can enough Pears. Ever. Every year I try–and every year they are gone…..usually by January.  I used to do 100 pounds…..100 POUNDS?!  Yes…..and that sounded like a reasonable # to me–but apparently not.  Then 200…..finally last year I think it was 300 pounds….and yes, here I sit—not one lone pear in my larder. :(   Ah well, THIS year, I hope to put up 500 pounds–HA–that’ll teach ‘em–they’ll be eating pears til they are SICK of them. I won’t hear the complaints THIS year…..lolol! We have picked a good bunch of blackberries (I say ‘we’, that means, my husband and the girls) but they still haven’t ‘fully’ come in yet…..so hopefully we’ll have more to put by there.

I hope to can butter, tomato sauces, salsa, pie filling, and much more—what are you canning this year??–and does anyone have a peach jam or peach pie filling recipe they just love? If so please send it my way! I am peach impaired, and need some help with those before they are gone for the summer!  

Happy Canning!
