Canning

There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of the "pop" of a freshly canned jar of whatever as it seals itself.  It's been a long day of chopping, cleaning, squeezing, stirring, boiling, cooking, peeling, stacking, washing, stirring, measuring, pouring, wiping, draining...but!  Every time there's a pop, I'm satisfied.  Nothing went to waste, I know how to preserve food and sustain my family...with the added bonus of sharing my knowledge and hard work with others.

This weekend produced:

6 pints of dill pickle relish
1 quart and 16 half pints of Fiesta Salsa
12 pints plus 6 half pints of Bruchetta in a Jar
12 half pints plus 6 pints of spicy zucchini relish



Thanks to (at some points this weekend it was Damn you!  :) ) Grandpa Sterling and Shirley for all the produce.
