A few weeks ago we had a work in the house kind of day however since one of our outdoor activities that week was to go berry picking. (Do people outside of the pacific northwest do that?) We came home with 15 pounds of blue and raspberries that I really had to process. It's a good thing D put up that amazing shelving unit for my jars because I've already made more beans, green beans, blueberry syrup, maple walnut syrup, and that raspberry jam. Every summer, I need to make at least a double, sometimes a triple, batch of this since the boys go through a pint every week to two weeks. They love the stuff, and I'm so happy that it's something I make with my own two hands that they can't get enough of.
My mom, knowing my family's love of pb&j, decided to do a little canning of her own and brought up more (I don't think she realized how much I'd made myself). I now have 10 pints I canned, another 12 half pints from my mom, and this weekend she brought up 3 oyster jars of jellies she made. And I still wanted to make some more apple butter (OH MY YUM!!), roasted romas and garlic, and our usual peaches and pears. Thank goodness I have collected all those jars over the years. Here's to my adventures in canning.
