I just did a bushel and half of Gala and Cortland. It was a nice sweet combination. It gave me about 22 qts of applesauce. In about two weeks I want to do another bushel of Yellow Delicious and Jonagold, which I have heard is also very yummy! My kids and I love to hear the "POP" of the jar sealing--we wait for it! i am trying to instill in them an enthusiasm for living simply and squirreling away all of our homegrown "wares" while most of the world goes to Giant for food. (and so do we!)
Also did this summer--25 lbs of green beans (a disaster)
20 qts of peaches (more shortucts that turned out badly)
20 lbs of blueberries (frozen)
10-15 qts of salsa
5 qts Italian tomatoes
5 different kinds of jellies--including mango!
10 dozen ears of corn (frozen)
I am just learning, but I LOVE it and hope to do tons more next year!

I have been very busy this summer as well. Here is what I have put up so far. Tomatoe juice, chopped tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, plum jelly, black berry jelly, green beans, in the freezer I put up over 500 ears of corn (cut off cream style), peas, apples, pinto beans, peppers and that is about it for the year. I still have to make apple butter, apple sauce, and apple jelly.
There is no other life for me, but farm life. |
