You know how some weeks go by and you are busy the whole week but then look back and wonder what you have accomplished. Well many days are like that for me but not this week. It has been a busy week but I was able to accomplish quite alot on top of the normal cooking, cleaning, laundry, getting the kids to school, and homework. Since we made a trip to Utah last weekend, I took advantage and went to the farmers market. So we came home with 2 boxes of pears, 1 box of apples, 1 box of peaches,1 box of potatoes (courtesy of DC Farms), a flat of raspberries, some blackberries, 2 cantaloupes, corn, and tomatoes(the last 3 items courtesy of Blake's aunt who does Schmidt corn in Salt Lake- yummy!)And no I didn't get pictures of everything.
So by the end of the week here is what I have accomplished:
24 quarts canned pears
5 quarts canned peaches
4 quarts peach pie filling
3 1/2 pints peach syrup
raspberry peach jam (1 batch)
raspberry jam (3 batches)
triple berry jam (3 batches)
5 pints apple cinnamon syrup
4 quarts frozen corn
I think we are all set on jam for a while. I still have some apples to go and I'm going to make some salsa this week. And we already ate all the cantaloupe- and it was yummy!! I hope this week is just as productive.
