What are you canning now?

Guess I'm resurrecting this thread! Yesterday I processed about 25 pounds of peaches, about 6 quarts, and started my cherries, 5 quarts worth, only 1/5th of my harvest. HATE pitting!!!!!
I'll be thanking myself come next winter.

So far just strawberry jam, mulberry and dandelion jelly, regular and pickled beets, vegetable soup, and chicken broth. Chicken broth shouldn't count, I can that year around.

A frost got all my plums and peaches. I'll get zero from my trees there. I'll probably buy some of each for jelly and to make chutney. I usually can peaches too but I won't buy that many. I have a lot of blueberries and blackberries in the freezer to be turned into jam and jelly, but not yet. Other things to do.

I dehydrated tomatoes yesterday. Six large Cherokee Purple tomatoes made 2 of those little jelly jars and a really small jar half the size of the jelly jars. I oven canned them to get a good seal on the lids. POP! Music to my ears!

3 1/2 more quarts of cherries up. The Rest of the cherries are frozen...I'll deal with Those later. Two days of busy, so I won't work on the yard again until Saturday. BUT, we've had like 5 inches of rain this week, so I couldn't do much anyway, except pull weeds.

Four quarts of peaches in the freezer. Not much, I know, but it's the most that tree has ever produced and they were really pretty. Considering that a quart of peaches of similar size and type were $6 a qt. at the local farmer's market...and those were whole peaches, not cleaned and cut up, I feel pretty rich. According to those prices, those 4 qt. of peaches represented about $65 worth of peaches.

dw decided to make tomato sauce she did in the crock pot and froze it..
