Yay! This summer I've had the wonderful pleasure of canning 53 jars of yummy stuff! (Okay, I'm being a bit sarcastic here) We planted a small garden which grew many pounds of tomatoes, plus we have some fruit trees and grape vines that have been very abundant. Needless to say, in order to not waste what we have, I have had to do some canning. I've never done it alone before, and only seen it done a couple times, so this has been a big task. So far this is what's been collected:22 jars of tomatoes
14 jars of grape juice (with Grandma Jo's help)
4 plum jam
4 "blue straw boys" jam (blueberry-strawberry-boysenberry)
3 blueberry syrup
3 peaches
3 pears, with many more awaiting the canning process
So that's what I've been up to lately. Anyone jealous?

Wow! Better move some things around in your food storage. That's exciting!! I can't wait to have a garden one day... but I'll be honest, I don't know if I'll be canning things. Looks like a lot of hard and confusing work. But I guess if you can do it.... JK
Good Job!

You guys are funny! It's really quite a bit of work and my body hurts after doing it, but I guess it's worth it. I didn't REALLY want to make you jealous!
i'm not jealous because i am about done yeah! it is such a long process, but way worth it.
i actually am jealous because i am not domestic like that yet. i haven't learned but havent had the need seeing as how i have never had a garden.

I do most of the work.
I love how Elton has made sure to clarify who does the gardening! HAha, too funny. Great job on all the canning, maybe one day I will learn! I love the name of your jam, blue straw boys!
