Well, summer is finally here. The time for planting is over and the time for harvesting natures bounty has begun. Danny's sister, Diane gave me some cucumbers and squash. I canned the squash and made pickles with the cukes. I enjoyed making the pickles so much, I went and bought some more. The plums will be ready soon for jams and jellies. Already beat the birds to the cherry trees and froze the fruit for pies later in the year. The apple tree is full and the pear tree looks about the break with all the fruit that's on it. Why is it that I hate cooking but I love to can. Who knows, who cares. Here are some pics of my canning so far.
Here are the four quarts of squash I got. They turned out real pretty and colorful.
This is the first batch of dill slices I made yesterday. Can't wait to taste them. I have to wait 24 hours.
Twelve more pints of dill slices and 11 pints of kosher spears. Yum!!! Tomorrow it's more kosher spears and bread and butter pickles. I hope I can find the jars. I bought the last two Walmart had this morning. Anyway, can't wait for the apples to ripen so I can make apple butter and canned pears too. Yum! Yum!! Oh! Wait. I've still got two jars of pears left from last year. I think I will have one right now. Goodnight everyone. Enjoy your summer.
