Canning

I had a lady in my ward send out an email that she has Chokecherries if anyone was interested in picking them. I totally jumped all over that. So i decided that canning in two is always more fun then doing it alone. I asked Kathy if she was interested in some? And she jumped all over it to. We went and picked them on two different times and were able to get two 5 gallon buckets. The second one was not as full as the first but still we felt like that would be good. We got a lot more than what we thought we would get. But if any thing we were in good company. It made for a long day, but well worth the chokecherry syrup and jelly that we were able to get.


On another day Kathy asked if i would come up to her house and pick her apples while she was gone to Burley. So i took one morning and went up and picked the apples, then went to the garden and picked the beans, zucchini, some onions, and the cucumbers. So here is the finished product of all my labors of the day. In this picture is the apple sauce and some Sweet pickles. I didn't get a picture of the beans but that is a whole nother project that i did on a different day. Along with that Ryan went back up to the garden and was able to get more cucumbers and Kathy let us pick her cucumbers and i was able to get some Dill Pickles as well. So i think that the only thing i have left to can for this year is Salsa, Peaches, and some freezer corn(which is really yummy). Wish me luck!
