I canned 11 pints of pickled banana peppers. Time got away from me in the garden and half of my banana peppers had changed to orange and red. At least the jars look beautiful and colorful! I also made some sun-dried tomatoes. I ended up with a pint jar of them. There are many more cherry tomatoes waiting to go in the oven.

Tallow is done and moving on to cooking chicken backs. My ma needed some stock, so got the nesco full. Finally pulled the elderberrys out of the freezer and have those in the dehydrator. Did not have alot this year, but it was some. I did put three gallon bags of apples in the freezer, sliced and peeled, and have a 2 quart jar of apple cider vinegar brewing.

You're incredible Michele! I would imagine you freezer and pantry are full. Have fun figuring out your next sewing projects.

How do you store your tallow?
I just pulled 7 jars of apple pie filling out of the canner - hoping to hear them pop soon! Also hoping the rain lets up so I can go get some peppers from the garden.

Heather I keep my tallow and lard in the freezer. I am not sure on putting it in jars and letting it seal. Alot of people do. My son did and he said it was good, so I don't know. Apple pie filling will be nice this fall. I put the pie filling in pint jars, and make small pies in my cast iron for the two of us. Also nice to use in a pie iron over the campfire.

Tara, that sounds really good!
Right now I have green beans in my pressure cooker. Once they are done I will be putting in some carrots! I really wish I had more green beans, but the birds were really fighting me this year. Hopefully next year will be better.

On Friday, I ended up with 2 pints of green beans and 13 pints of carrots. My garden is still loaded with carrots. I know I will be canning some more here soon.

Apple sauce and salsa! I just found an electric water bath canner on Amazon’s early Prime Day sale and treated myself!!! It will be here tomorrow! No more hauling a canner full of boiling water over to the sink to dump it out. I’m hoping to find an electric pressure cooker next. My sister has one and loves it!

Michele - I keep my tallow in the freezer or fridge too. Pints of apple pie filling are a great idea! I made a note to do it next year.
Tara - I agree with everyone else, your soup sounds yummy!
Krista - way to go! I don't have any luck with carrots in the garden so I usually buy a couple big bags and can them. They're one of my favorites.
Debbie - that sounds exciting. You'll have to let us know how you like it! I always dump my canner in the tub. It's so heavy I haven't figured out how to dump it in the kitchen sink without the water coming up and over. The tub is farther away, but it doesn't make a mess :)

Debbie, I am excited to hear what you think too. I know those canners are heavy and I always make a mess dumping them into the sink.

Nice to read everyone been busy.
A few jars of apple pie filling. I won't use the filling in a pie, but in an apple crisp. 1 jar didnt seal. This year I didn't can all the apples. A few will be eaten fresh and some will be dehydrated to add to granola cereal
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

Way to go Tara! I dehydrated a lot of apples this year too. They're handy for a quick snack.
