So this week we picked 5 gallons of cherries. That was a lot of putting even with the cherry pitter. But just finished canning 7 quarts of cherry pie filling. Also picked about a gallon of blackberries and raspberries. They came in at the same time this year. So I made eight half pints of jelly. Now I have picked more so need to make more jelly. I just combined the berries and it made a fantastic jelly.
We had watermelon a couple times so made 4 quarts of watermelon pickle. My son loves it. Just put down my first batch of cucumbers to make lime pickle. Should have that finished tomorrow or Saturday.
Then next week we should be canning green beans and of course more pickle. I should have lots of tomatoes in a couple weeks I hope. I like to can as much as I can so I do not have to worry if we have an extended power failure.
My son and I went to town this morning to get a new pickle crock and bought the lid and weights. My old crock had a crack so it has been retired to a storage container.
