Tuesday – I Can


(Thanks for the heads-up on the pictures, Ande)

Oh ho.  This pretty much sums up my day.  I canned a couple of batches of diced tomatoes, peppers, and onions, and a couple batches of jalapeño pepper jelly this afternoon.  They're both good.  Should the zombies come, you’re welcome to bring a spoon.

I LOVE pepper jelly!!

Recently I saw a recipe online for candied jalapenos that I am tempted to try...

Another remarkable day for a remarkable woman. I sit and lament my pain and you stand and accomplish gain.
Next time you do any canning, please bottle your energy and share it with the world. We could use a lot more Jane's in this world. Also, please think about writing a book this winter on how to do it all and still look like a million! You are beautiful....inside and out!

Yesterday I canned peaches and mashed some for jam I'll attack later. Today I sliced and froze trays for smoothies and shakes. I almost have the boxes empty. But with meager dinners and a tired, sour attitude, I'm not sure it's worth it until I'm eating peaches in January. I'd love to get to pears, salsa, applesauce and... but this year I just may need to pull back. Every year, I remind myself of the parable.

Pepper jelly is good!

This pretty sums up my week too. My sister and I canned 53 pint bottles of spaghetti sauce last week, and we bought 5 boxes of peaches/pears yesterday we plan on working on soon! I don't mind canning at all, but I despise the cleanup!

I found some UT peaches for 77 cents a pound! I will be a canning crazy woman soon!!

We have a break in our hot weather today- and I actually thought that canning some black beans sounded like a good idea!
Jill- I will laugh at that comment ALL DAY LONG!

Oh dear!

I was sick thinking Dan was a goner.

Whew! Relief.
