Back to canning

Last year the only thing we canned was grape jelly. The year before we did 700 quarts of this and that. We still have a little of that stuff left over but not much...mostly pickles.

So- the strawberries are in. Here Maya Rae picked a gallon of berries. She washed them, topped the tops and bagged them. Good helper!
Also, our friend Fuad Baha'i who has an apple farm, gave us a bunch of free apples so Maya and I made applesauce. In all we made 16 quarts.

Here are the very first quarts of the year. This year I have the intent to can a ton of stuff. Cannot wait!
