It's been an epic year for canning at our house. And with the projects Dave's mom and I have been working on in addition to ours, the cabinet is getting full pretty quick. As I'm writing we've got hot pink applesauce made with cinnamon imperials in the waterbath.
We split the tomatoes and plain applesauce between everyone, but ended up with a bunch of jars of each, and then there's everything Dave and I did.
Our Tally this year so far:
Raspberry Wine Jelly - 10 4oz jars
Garlic Jelly - 6 half pints
Currant Jam - 5 4oz jars
No Sugar Strawberry Jam - 6 half pints
Strawberry Balsamic Jam - 6 half pints
Pickled Garlic - 7 half pints
Pickled Grapes - 1 half pints and 3 4oz jars
Garlic Green Hot Sauce - 1 half pint and 6 4oz jars
Tomato Red Hot Sauce - 1 half pint and 6 4oz jars
Mom's Apple Pie in a Jar - 6 half pints
Cinnamon Red Hot Applesauce - 7 pints
And then there's the two big bags of pears and, I suspect quite a few more apples to deal with. WOOOOO! We're going to be busy.
Plus we're still working on eating things we canned last year.
(FYI - I am not willing to invite total strangers into my house, but as time allows, I will happily teach friends to can or make jam, pickles or applesauce. I will probably ask you to buy your own jars, though.)
