Canning Recap 2012

It's been a busy summer. My garden produced so well, and the bounteous crop has kept my kids and I very busy. We have frozen peas, zucchini, sweet corn, and fresh basil pesto; canned green beans, dill pickles, peaches, nectarines, plums, corn relish and TONS of stewed tomatoes. I have enough salsa, pizza sauce, green salsa, and spaghetti sauce canned from last year, so at least I was spared from a few items this year. It's been a lot of work, but I'm thankful for homegrown deliciousness to feed to my family all winter. Here are a few more canning photos from this season. I'm glad to say that we are almost done with our preserving...thank goodness for a long Idaho winter, or I don't think I would ever be motivated to do it again. LOL! I'm worn out!

YOU ROCK, GIRL!
Thanks for sharing all the fun, colorful and yummy photos! I'm sure you are BEAT! Good job. Would love to hear more about the pesto...I grew basil and did NOTHING with it, except water and look at it and smell it....I'm completely aware that I'm a loser! ;)

I LOVE how your whole family pitches in! I guess - if they're going to eat it, they should help preserve it!!
