The past couple of weeks, I've put up a few things. This batch of bread and butter pickles, for one.
I've frozen 10 qts of beans. We got 4 qts of our own grapes, and I made a batch of jelly and froze a pint of juice.
I also made a batch of strawberry/raspberry jelly from last year's fruit from the freezer and bought peaches to make a batch of peach jam. The strazzberry is a hit. 1 cup raspberries and 5 cups strawberries.
I've been chopping what zucchini and summer squash I have to put in the freezer to put in soup.
Mom came this weekend with tomatoes from her garden and we made a huge batch of tomato soup, 23 1/2 pints.
Today I've done 3 qts of beans for the freezer and have two 5 gallon buckets of huge cucumbers. Do I give them to the chickens or make cinnamon pickles out of them?
Stay tuned for further announcements.
