Canning

I've been keeping busy. I have not forgotten to update, I just have been busy. I've practiced my canning and hope I am getting better. I've canned strawberry jam, peach jam, peaches, green beans, and tomatoes. Of course, I am almost out of cans now and I did not have many to begin with nor could I afford many. I have also frozen some items as well as dehydrated some things. My next project is to do apples.



These peaches I canned with my friend but I did have a bushel before that I froze almost the entire thing and suffice it to say my freezer is now full, but I will have peaches to can later.

Because of the lack of time and the lateness of the hour I put the peaches in regular ziplock bags. I wanted to wait until the neighbor above was gone before using the foodsaver.





On the left you can see what happens to peaches in a regular ziplock and to the right is what they look like in the foodsaver bag. They will last much longer and hold up much better in the freezer this way.
