Here's the latest count:
Applesauce: 8 Quarts, 12 Pints -- At least 2 more boxes to process
Peaches: 8 Quarts, 9 Pints -- I should double my #s by the time they are done
Raspberry Jam: 3 Pints, 3 (4oz) -- The berries have barely begun to get started
Jalapeno Jelly: 10 (4oz), 1 Pint -- This is all I'll get (sorry no pictures, still in the water bath)
Cherry Pie Filling: 6 Quarts
The best part is that all this produce came from MY own backyard! Can you tell that I'm excited? And that this is my 1st year doing it? Ask me in 5 years and I'm sure my story will be different.Oh, and I, of course, had some help from Emma. No, not really, but isn't she cute in my old Outback apron? Though Israel, HE was an AMAZING help to me. Wow. Thanks Babe.

I wish I could can with you! It is more fun if you are not alone. I am looking at 5 boxes of tomatoes and peppers and dreading starting. I need to though, kids keep eating bites out of the tomatoes randomly. Lil twits.
Ha! Emma does the same thing! She's constantly after my "appa" (apples and peaches). She uses that for both. I wish we could can together, too.

It's not you, Ashleigh, it's the ant hill you're living on! lol.
AWESOME!!! That is crazy! I totally made dinner once last week.
I so feel your pain! It takes so much work but is worth it when all your shelves are full!
Hello new best friend! That all looks so yummy! I can't believe its from your back yard! Thats so cool!
Congrats! I sure wish I was there to feast on your labors :) We aren't having much luck with our tomatoes this year. No salsa again :( Oh well, maybe next year. Or hopefully maybe not, we may be moving! Guess we'll see.
I want to can!!! I bet I have to actually plant a garden for that huh?
Oh, I am so jealous. Apples, peaches, cherries AND raspberries?!! Ok, honestly, I don't know that I could have kept up with all that produce in addition to the veggies from the garden, so way to go!
Wow.. I am very impressed with all of your hard work! How are things? We haven't talked in a long time!
