Canning Time Again!!

Canning has started at the Hamm/Domer house. Mom and I, with help from Mark and dad have put up about 30 quarts of stewed tomatoes and about 50 quarts of spaghetti sauce. We both purchased 50 pounds of peaches so you know that we now have plenty of canned peaches on hand. Mark. Angel and I went blueberry picking and got just over 35 pounds of blueberries. We have an entire shelf in the freezer dedicated to blueberries. Along with a shelf of raspberries. Mark and I have been enjoying smoothies and fresh blueberry scones in the mornings. We have completed 2 pickings of green beans. They aren't as plentiful as they have been in the past years. But, we hope there will be more. We dug potatoes the past couple of days. We have a shelf in the freezer of pre-cooked hashbrowns and some cubed potatoes. Just heat and serve. We still have a shelf full in the barn. The corn is still to come. All our luck it will come on heavy just about the time that the folks head south. As you can see we have been busy around here processing fruits and vegetables. That is my excuse for not having things up to date and I am sticking to it!!
