What we have been up to lately

We have been doing some canning. Tina, our daughter-in-law, wanted to have a garden this year. She thought that that would help them to save some money and also give satisfaction of growing her own food. Her garden was somewhat successful. To go along with her garden we purchased tomatoes and one night we canned 18 quarts and one pint of tomato sauce. Then this past Saturday, we canned 19 quarts of spaghetti sauce. Oh, we had so much fun with worms and rotten tomatoes. Tina likes the added protein.


These are just some of the quarts of sauce.

This is another project that got into the mix. Tina had a lot of cucumbers. We all decided to make some cinnamon crunch sweet pickles. I just finished them up this evening. They are a three day pickle. We got 10 pints of these "delicioso" pickles. We might think of sharing them with you sometime. Like I said, we had a lot of fun and family time together. Can't wait until next year!
