The rains have arrived! We had a streak of something like 80 days of no rain here in the Puget Sound. It’s been a nice, mild, dry, sunny summer! I’ve really enjoyed it! It’s fun to have it all of the sudden be fall outside.
I’ve been busy canning again this weekend. I canned pearsauce, more applesauce, blackberries and raspberries.
Here are the tutorials I followed:
Canning Apple or Pear Sauce by The Prairie Homestead

and
Preserving Berries in Light Honey Sauce

All told I now have:
9 half pints blackberries
3 half pints raspberries
3 pints honey pearsauce
11 half pints applesauce
5 pints applesauce
Plus some tomatoes and beans my grandma canned for me.
I still want to can:
more pearsauce (that was REALLY good!)
bell pepper and tomato salsa
more berries (though next time I’ll make them into a ‘jelly’ using honey instead of just suspending them in honey sauce)
Are you canning anything right now?
Warmly,

My goodness you have been busy! Then again, there is nothing like homemade goodness in the winter to beat the blues!
Yes, it was a lot of work over the weekend! But you’re so right… in mid December a nice jar of applesauce will taste soooo good! 🙂
