It's Canning Time...

Can you guess what I have been up too?

I've been canning...

Above, I made up 3 batches of Strawberry Freezer Jam

This is the recipe we used:

We made up a couple batches of Plum Jelly

This is our most favorite flavor!

Then I made up a batch of Pear Butter.

This is very tasty and it's even good just by the spoonful!

Pear Jelly...

Finally we canned several batches of tomatoes!

We still need to make and can salsa,

so hopefully we can get that done before the end of the month.

What are you plans this week?

Thank you so much for stopping by...

Dehydrating Time!!

We love to Dehydrate!!! So, our greenhouse has been doing it's job... And a great job at that!

We have green onions!!

 

 

And Basil... This smells heavenly!!

 

 

And Parsley!! Hello spaghetti sauce! :)

 

 

 

And, in the end of one dehydrating process, we get a small amount each time, but it is so worth it!!

(And this was only the first cut!)

 

At the end of our growing season, what we don't can or process, we dehydrate and the shelf life is a very long time (but it doesn't last long around here, I put dried herbs and veggies in everything!)

 

I hope I have inspired you to dehydrate or maybe I made you hungry! :)

Either way... I hope you enjoyed your brief visit and stop by again.... Soon!

 

 

Blessings to You,
