"I have need of the sky. I have business with the grasses. I will up and away at the break of day to where the hawk is wheeling lone and high and where the clouds drift by."   - Richard Hovey, 1894-1961

Canning with April - part 2


April and I did our summer canning last Sunday. In total, we put up:
-Applesauce - 4 quarts and 8 pints
-Tomatoes - 3 quarts
-Strawberry Jam - 5 pints (we ran out of half-pints) and two half-pints
-Blackberry Jam - 8 half-pints
-Peach marmalade - 10 half-pints
This is about twice what we put up last year.

With the little prep I did on Saturday, we spent five hours and 10 pounds of sugar on the production. It was fun. The house smelled like a candy factory.
