It was a very productive weekend. I got my yearly peck of peaches. They were juicy and flavorful, as usual. I spent the whole day canning. In the end: 6 jelly jars of peach salsa, 6 pint jars of honey spiced peaches, 10 jelly jars of vanilla peach jam, 8 little jelly jars of maple whisky peach jam, 3 pint jars of peach syrup, 4 bottles of pineapple wine. Can't forget I also made a peach cobbler that is unbeatable.
I was exhausted by the end of it. I started at 9:00am and finished at about 8:00pm. It was fulfilling to use tomatoes and peppers from the garden for the salsa. Speaking of the garden, I had another wonderful Minnesota Midget cantaloupe. I absolutely love these little buggers.
If that wasn't enough, today I harvested my sweetgrass from my little patch. I got 14 bundles. I think that is the most I have ever had. I cannot describe the smell. It is heavenly.
Wow, what an accomplishment getting all your peach goodies jarred-up. Fantastic that you have a garden at all, and that it is producing. Kudos. I do love peach cobbler!
ReplyDeleteI was no where near as productive as you were. We mainly visited with friends most of the weeked.
ReplyDeleteI love sweet grass what will you do with it I have native american sweet grass baskets. If you scratch the inside you still can smell it.
