I don't think I shared adventures in peaches. 60 lbs to deal with oh my. I canned peaches, mango peach,jam, strawberry peach jam, pineapple coconut jam, strawberry mango peach jam. What fun we had. A good friend came over and helped. It's always much more fun with friends.
Saturday Lee and I went to Carver farms. We picked cucumbers and summer squash. Zucchini, tomatoes and yellow squash. After that we headed up to Green Bluff. We got beans at Eleven Acres farm. Then we decided to head up to Mt. Spokane and check out the campground there. Dry, hot, small, but I love it up there. We had a great day.
Yesterday I made tomato sauce. It looks really thin in the jars and may not be good for much more than soup...or to dump out. 9 jars and only one didn't seal. It's in the fridge to be used asap.
Today it was pickles and the adventure really begins.
I searched for the camp stove...and can't find it. I thought it was in my trailer which is at my aunt and uncles. I whined on facebook. Halfway through canning them my sister in law says it's in your mom and dads trailer. bah humbug. My 23 quart takes a ridiculous amount of time to heat to boiling, even with the lid on, like over 30 mins.
I also didn't want to heat up the house. Oh well. So get them all sliced and speared, brine poured in, and into the water bath. About 30 mins later the timer goes off(started timing after the water came to a full boil). Andddd...nothing. It all went just as it should have. perfect. easy. No lids popped off. Everything looks beautiful. I have no stories to share to make you laugh.
I do have a picture of todays work though.
