I'm off to a slow start. It's almost August and I made one jar of jam today. Been so busy this summer that I've let the kids eat up the fruit rather than preserve it.
I looked in the fridge this morning and 6 apricots looked back. So I made one jar of jam.
I actually have a bunch of plums and cucumbers in the vegetable crisper. Seeing as this Friday, my day for canning because the kids all go to mom's for dinner, I guess I'll work on the cukes and plums tonight. I'm really the only one who likes homemade pickles and I can only eat so many. I don't like store pickles but the kids do. They don't care for plum jam either. And every year I end up with a bunch of plums that one child and I try to eat. I need to look for a different recipe for the plums I think.
I'm going to try watermelon rind pickles too. It takes 3 days so that I have to time it to be home when they're ready to process.
