Labor day weekend canning

Remember when I said I was going to try to relax this weekend? Yeah, I didn't.

Labor day weekend canning

This is one of each of the ten (!!!) things I canned, plus one more that is in the freezer already. Starting from the top left...
  1. Tomatillo salsa
  2. Butterscotch peach jam
  3. Stanley plum jam
  4. Apricot jam
  5. Apple plum jam
  6. Melon orange preserves
  7. Tomato basil pasta sauce
  8. Roasted veggie pasta sauce
  9. Pepper salsa
  10. Leftover fruit chutney
Only two major issues: the apricot jam over set and the melon orange preserves under set. As these things go, not too bad. I think the apricot jam will be good cut up in homemade ice cream, and the melon orange preserves will make a tasty syrup.

I'm pretty much done with the canning now, though I've got a few more little things, and we'll see what we see at the next few farmers' markets.

Delurking here. Hi! I'm Dorie from Maryland. Found your blog looking for other bloggers with SharPeis.Your garden looks fabulous! Our grapes got ripe, so I spent part of the weekend making my first ever jelly. All that straining is hard work! I still have jars left, so in a couple of weeks I'd make some apple butter.

I have industriousness envy. All I did was play with code all weekend. Gah.
