Canning Inventory

On the first weekend in September, Heather and I drove to the Okanagan Valley in BC to pick up fruit and bring it home to preserve.  It's been a busy, busy month but I have so much goodness stored up from that trip - and our garden - for a long, cold winter.


For the first time ever, I had to expand to 3 shelves on the right hand side to get everything in!  I still want to make one more batch of salsa, some sauerkraut and there are lots of green tomatoes that need to ripen.


Inventory List of Jars 

6 nectarines
7 plums
21 apricots
52 peaches
21 pears
34 tomatoes
13 tomato salsa
10 apricot salsa
3 tomato sauce
12 zucchini relish
5 raspberry jam
10 apricot syrup
9 beet relish
7 applesauce
10 dill pickles
9 dill slices/spears

I have plans to share some of this bounty with other families too.   What a gracious God that has provided all this food!

P.S.  There are several bags of berries, containers of applesauce and bags of kernel corn in the freezer too :)

  4. Wow, that's awesome. Everything sounds delicious. Tyler was blown away by how many jars of peaches you've done. But it does only take one day to eat them all. ;)
    Looking forward to tasting a few bites of that goodness in just a few weeks, especially some of those apricot goodies.
