I Can CAN

This year I wanted to learn to can! My sister-in-law was nice enough to let me do a few quarts of peaches with her and she showed me the ropes! I figured it was easy enough, so I got busy! I ended up doing 40 quarts of peaches, 21 quarts of apple pie filling, and 10 quarts of applesauce. I was able to do the canning after Creighton was sleeping, and Cason was working, so it went quickly without any distractions. However, I did have an incident of pie filling boiling over (what a stinky, sticky mess to clean up!) and a pretty nasty burn on my thumb to show for all of my hard work. I am definitely done for this year-I'm burned out. But I am excited for next year to try some new things also-maybe salsa, Cason loves it!

    What an accomplishment! Good job Katie Jo! Maybe next summer, I'll take a few lessons, because those peaches sure look tastey!
