Canning

We have had quite the month trying to can enough food for the winter. We have this awesome peach tree that produces plenty of peaches and we have more than enough to trade with a friend that has plenty of tomatoes. With our combined produce we were able to get bottled peaches, jams (strawberry and rasberry -ask me how we made it with peaches and zucchini!), and great salsa. Everyone had to get in on the action. Actually, it is a fun family event. I just love this time with my mom, and this year my sister helped too.
When I say everyone, I mean everyone. Kiana had fun helping peel peaches, Maile throwing them and saying ball or just jumping in the box of peaches, oh what help!!
I love doing this and feel so domestic. Let's just say, it's a good thing I have my mom to help! Hopefully we can grow a better garden next year and do more.

Good for you! I wish I had a more resourceful yard that would allow us to do some of that! We should have a playdate sometime.
