Canning season is here...
canning season block
cherries, strawberries, carrots, tomatoes, pickles and grapes!
At one time we had a grape arbor...
the grape jelly was fantastic!
A friend in Iowa served me fresh cherry pie years ago...
Can you imagine pitting cherries for canning?
I canned carrots ONCE!
For some reason they unsealed
and I ended up throwing away dozens of jars...
never again!
Grandma Bertha's recipe for tomato juice is the only one our family uses.
It's also her recipe that I use for dill pickles.

Have you seen any sweet corn vendors yet?
The crops here in central South Dakota are looking great...

You can't be a wanna-be farm girl
without doing a little canning...
or quilt making!

If you have ever had a canning batch turn up BAD, that just about does it.
ReplyDeleteAt least it did it for me. My BAD was a jar of tomatoes . . . NASTY!
I freeze more than can now, although I still do pickles.
I think our corn here in Michigan is just about ready . . .
Love your Farm Girl blocks!
Love the blocks. Canning salsa on your list this year? !
