As I said in my list of 2018 ribbons won, sometimes you're the mop,
sometimes you're the floor. In 2017, I was the floor. Last year (2018
competitions) I was the mop. This year I was the mop!! Yeay!! Seven
blue ribbons and the plaque for being the best canner for the ninth
time since it has been awarded, its Prestigious Processor of the Pantry
award. (I didn't name it that, okay?). Life has changed here and I
am pleased with the results. The list:

First Place Blue Ribbons
Raspberry Jelly
Spiced Lemony Blueberry Jam
Raspberry Jam
Strawberry Jam
Bean Pickles *
Chili Sauce
Cherry-Rhubarb Jam

*The Bean Pickles also received a Sweepstakes ribbon for Best of Show
of all the various pickle types. It is the first year purple ribbons
have been awarded for canning.

Second Place Ribbon
Crab Apple Jelly

Third Place Ribbons
Plum Jelly
Bread & Butter Pickles
Watermelon Pickles

Fourth Place Ribbon
Cherry Jelly
Rhubarb Jam

Thirteen ribbons for 20 entries is good and I am happy with the
results. I didn't enter stewed tomatoes or tomato juice this year
because the tomatoes are late!! And I now have a bunch of them to deal
with. I may put up more stewed tomatoes for my shelves because they
are so versatile.

Thanks for your indulgence.

I told my wife, the Minnesota State Fair must be over and why. Since I
don't usually share Usenet with her, she looked you up on YouTube. Then
I printed your post for her and told her to get busy. She appeared to
ignore me.
As always, congratulations!

Thanks. I just took 6 pints of "stewed tomatoes" from the steam
canner. The extra cup that was leftover tasted mighty good. :-)

<blush>. Thank you. I'm guessing she's had your number for a while,
Leo. It sort of reminds me of Rob when I am inclined to give or sell
someone some pickles: "Quit giving away my pickles!" I said they'll be
"his" pickles when he helps me make them. He actually did scrub the
cucumbers for the second batch. It should pacify him for a while.

Thanks. I've put up about 325 jars of stuff. And I'm about done with
it. I may make sauce and just freeze the last of the tomatoes I bought
this afternoon. IBePooped!

Mom has helped a lot this season by helping pick and scrub.
which goes a long ways towards getting them done.

i think we put up about 111 quarts of dill pickles and
a case of pints of bread and butter pickles.

she's discovered that she really likes tartar sauce
made with almost all chunked up dill pickles. any
extra tartar sauce gets used on other things as i am
inspired (not bad on grilled cheese or BLTs or eggs or
mashed or fried taters, etc.)

I know that feeling. My wife used to give away my jam. Fine for her.
She rarely eats jam, and she always had an aversion to helping me
because she is afraid to work with the hot jam and jars. It was nice
that she was proud of my efforts, but is was my jam.
