Preserves

I have been cooking like a madwoman here!

Apples = applesauce, dried apples, apple honey
Pears = pear chunks, pear sauce, pear honey
Plums = dried plums, plum jelly
Tomatoes = Salsa, spaghetti sauce
Peaches = awol… maybe later?

I need another dehydrator. And I’m glad the pears aren’t quite ripe yet!!!! Another day or two…

Next month (when all my regular canning is done), I am hoping to cook up some yummy soups and can them. Then I will have good food on hand for Jordan; I might even puree it before cooking. Do you have a favorite soup recipe? If so, please share! With the coming of apples and pears… I am actually looking forward to fall and all the cozy cool weather foods!

Do you like the new blog layout? I really wanted one we could put our family picture in and this one works!

No counter space left!

Cheese! I mean… apples?
