Canning done (I hope)
State of the pantry:
- 9 pints sweet and sour pickles
- 4 quarts hot dill pickles
- 20 quarts tomato sauce
- 3 quarts + 15 pints corn and tomato soup
- 16 half-pints+ 1 pint salsa
- 2 4-oz of hot peppers (mostly jalapenos, some hot cherry, some habanero)
- 2 pints + 2 quarts tomato vegetable soup
- 12 half-pints + 3 cups cinnamon/nutmeg applesauce
- 10 quarts grape juice (refrigerated but not canned–we’ll drink it all pretty quickly :)
This represents about half the total food we canned–my mom took about the same amounts of the tomato sauce, soups, salsa, peppers, and applesauce as are listed above. We also gave a few cans away. We would have had more pickles, but the crock pickles went bad–probably too many cukes for too little brine.
Now I just have to figure out where to store it (small house, no basement, everywhere else freezes in winter). :) Yay, maybe I can get more computer stuff done; we’ve been canning almost every weekend from the beginning of August until now.

Holy crap on stilts that is a lot of canning. Props to you guys, dang.
So….. Do you think you might be able to spare a pint or two of that corn and tomato soup? I can send you the full amount for posting it beforehand.
I can still taste that soup. Whoa, Nelly! That’s good stuff.
