We've put up about 21 pints of fig jam in the last week. Fig tree has
about finished producing but I may make a fresh fig cake from the remnants.
No pickles this year, cukes didn't do worth a hoot. We never can
tomatoes anymore since it's just the two of us. Other fruit trees didn't
produce enough fruit to can any of that.
Still had plenty of green beans from last year, same with hot sauce,
chopped sweet chiles, okra, and greens. My being sick most of last year
led to an overage in all preserved produce.
Since Miz Anne is off to see her Momma at 0615 tomorrow, dependent upon
the flight being cancelled due to rain or storm, there won't be a whole
lot of anything going on while she's gone.
A lot of the preserved stuff in the pantry will be gone by 08/12 as we
plan to take a couple of cases with us to our immediate family reunion
at the beach that week.
George, just as glad he's not canning, it's hotter than Hades here at
the moment.
