My wife and I grew up in families that had gardens and canned/preserved. Was just part of life. Still is. Anymore I don’t get to garden due to work, but her cousin who is our neighbor, grows produce for a living. Since he uses our land free of any lease fee he keeps us very well stocked with produce
Put up 188 ears of corn. Most on cob, some creamed 48lbs of okra. 16 pints pickled, the rest in freezer
24 pints and 2 quarts of salsa 20 quarts v8 juice( ball garden blend with some extras added in). Gotta do another 48lbs tomorrow of v8 and canned tomatoes
Then on to pizza and pasta sauce
Gotta pickle peppers again next week
Green beans next week as well. Will do 3-4 bushels probably. We do like Judman and add bacon in. Can it all
Vegetable soup 2 weeks from now I suppose. It’s great to add canned venison to for a easy recipe change
Have 5 quarts of pickled eggs I put in fridge about 6 days ago. won’t last all that long but I give to buddies as well
Will do pickled quail eggs from wife’s uncles quail farm in September some time
Can deer meat in fall
We busy this time of year
Last count we have almost 300 quart jars. No clue how many pints
