Peach Jam - 20 pints for me, 20 pints for my friend, Melissa.
Peaches compliments of someone's orchard in Santaquin and Nephi - 10 quarts + some frozen
tomatoes compliments of someone's garden in Mona - 33 quarts
Salsa - 13 quarts
Beans compliments of Grandpa Gooches garden - 7 quartsYou have to understand, I haven't bottled like this since I was a little girl when I would whine and complain at all the hours I spent helping my mother in the hot, sticky, messy kitchen. So, yes, I'm a little proud of myself if I must say. And, I actually enjoyed every minute of it (although, I don't think I can look at another tomato until next year). It is a very satisfying feeling looking at all those jars of hard work, knowing that I did some of that all by myself.
Thanks Bonnie for all of your help. I didn't know when I started off this week that I was going to spend it canning. I don't think I would have even thought I could bottle anything myself if I hadn't had my sisters' help and expertise. And, especially, thanks to those who planted so much produce they couldn't use it all and had to give it away.
2 now let's hear it from you:
Oh MY!!! You girls have been very busy! I'm so excited for you to have all that hard work packed lovingly into all those jars. They look beautiful and delicious! Hats off to you!!
You'll enjoy that all year long, and when it comes time to open the salsa, don't forget to give me a call.
