So, I'll be canning most all day today. Tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, beans. Long day ahead!

Can't wait to see picst of all those pretty jars of goodness!
Congrats to you!!
I only have a few bean plants (1st time planting) and I'm hoping to gather enough to make it worthwhile to start the canner. Maybe I'll manage a quart or two before the season ends LOL

A long HOT day , but so worth the effort come winter.

Post pictures!! The only thing better than looking at jars full of garden produce in your own pantry, is looking at someone else's!!

Canned 15 pints green beans, 8 quarts tomatoes. Still have the spaghetti sauce to do, and I think I can get another 5 pints of beans done. I can only do pints, and only five at a time cause I just have a little pressure cooker. I've already done 12 half-pints of blueberry jam, and eight of strawberry jam, plus another eight of blackberry jelly. And apples are ripe, so I'll be picking apples tomorrow! I wonder how long an apple pie can be frozen and still be good?

@happy acres Try canning (or freezing) just the pie filling.
You sure have been busy. Most of out garden will wait until school resumes and I will only have nights and weekends to get it put up.

I have this week off, that's why I can get this done now. Took a break to make supper, think I'll stop for the night.

Sounds like a busy/rewarding day. Good luck the rest of the week!

Pat yourself on the back for a job well done! Doesn't it make you feel good, knowing that you have provided good food for your family? On freezing the apple pie-don't. Just portion out the apple pie filling and freeze it.
