There are many things our family was able to can/store this year. We are very blessed for the bumper crop of plumes, jalapenos, bell peppers, green beans, grapes and broccoli. A few other items that we should have planted more of but enjoyed; carrots, corn, rhubarb, pumpkins (which we thought were cucumber plants...thanks Fees hahaha), celery, walla walla onions and tomatoes. We enjoy having a garden and are very grateful that it was so plentiful, especially since we hardly weeded it....the weeds got so out of control!
Items we were able to utilize for food storage:
Plums: Fruit leather approximately 16 racks=64 roll-ups, plum jelly 16 1/2 jars
Jalapenos: Jelly (12 1/2 pints), spread on crackers, yummy! Pickled jalapenos
Green peppers, Jalapenos and Tomatoes: Salsa 36 quarts with mom!!!
Grapes (about 16 lbs.): Grape juice
Corn: Froze about 30 ears worth
Other items:
Pears (from neighbors, canned with Peggy)
Applesauce (apples from the Randalls, canned with mom)
Peaches (purchased from Knuze Farm)
SO GLAD CANNING SEASON IS OVER!!! It feels good we didn't have much go to waste. Thanks for all your help mom! I couldn't have done it with out you!
