Canning

This year I learned how to can. Since our garden did very well, I had to do something with all the veggies! My neighbor taught me how to do it and then I went out and bought my own pressure canner and then my mom came down and helped me learn how to use mine! I get a bit nervous when I use it though. I am always afraid that it will get too much pressure and blow up on me! Silly I know, but I think I am getting better since I have been using it alot lately.

This year I have canned:

69 quarts of peaches

39 pints of green beans

32 pints of beets

9 quarts & 15 pints of salsa

5 pints of pickles

6 pints of relish

I think I am done for the year, but who knows. I told Chris to start ripping up the plants, but I don't think he is ready to do that yet.

Here is a picture of all my cans:
