I have been neglecting my blogging duties, so I am posting canning pictures from last weekend. Mary (Karen's mom), Karen, Sprout and I spent most of the day canning. We had three burners running on the kitchen stove and two on the camp stove outside most of the day. Here, Sprout and I are blanching peaches. I discovered that the backpack was THE way to go for canning, as the Baby Bjorn put her mischievous hands way too close to burning hot canning stuff.
We canned 80 quarts of pears and peaches, plus over fifty pints of plum and nectarine jam. Below is a picture of the bounty, and you will notice that we still have more fruit left to preserve in the lower left-hand corner.
After our massive production effort, I decided that it would be easier to buy a new stove as this one is never going to be quite the same.
