fruitful endeavor


Yesterday (and last Wednesday) I went up to my mom's house to bottle peaches. She has two peach trees filled with peaches. All in all I ended up with about 35 quarts of peaches. I am so grateful for her generosity and the addition to my food storage. Next week I am headed up to do pears and applesauce. Mmmmmm.

I think anyone who can 'can' foods is quite amazing! I watched my mom do it for years, and never learned! So, therefore, you are fabulous! Love ya!

I'm so jealous, and impressed! Every year, I say I'm going to can some fruit, make some applesauce, etc., and then it just seems like more work than I want to take on. But nothing tops home-canned fruit...enjoy!
