My stores....

This is more for me then anyone else, but I liked that I blogged about this last year so I could just look back to see what I had canned and if it was enough! This year I have 110 pints of salsa (I only had to buy onions!!!). I planted 8 tomato plants 4 Roma and 4 slicers, but one of the slicers did not make it. I planted 12 green pepper plants and was blessed by the bounty of others for my hot peppers. I have around 42 quarts of grape juice. Once again the bounty of others!!! I did two generous bushels of purple and 7 quarts of white. With a big THANK YOU to Laurie I have 23 pints of apple sauce (glad we did it twice) which is being eaten faster then I thought, so think of all the extra fun we can have next year:) (and 2 quarts of apple pie filling which is almost to pretty to eat.) Went a little crazy on the peaches this year 55 quarts of peaches we just missed having enough last year. 10 quarts of pears. I will give them one more chance, but if they don't improve I don't know if I will do pears again. And I STILL have 14 bottles of pickles. I hope if you do read through this you enjoyed your canning season as much as me:)
