Harvest 2014

What have I been up to, and why am I so behind with this blog?

Let me sum it up.

Besides raising the kids, back to school, broken arms, and homework...

4 pints strawberry jam

156 pints raspberries picked, frozen, jammed (24 pts), eaten, shared

1 load apricot leather

6 pints apricot jam

1 load plum leather

  16 bags of corn frozen 

6 bags of beans frozen 

3 bags of broccoli

10 pints of beets pickled

14 quarts of bottled tomatoes

2 quarts of dried Anaheim peppers

 

Wrapped two shelves worth of Elk meat for the freezer

16 pints of bottled elk meat

2 loads of moose jerky (4 flavors)

  (I'll spare you the gruesome elk picture for now...)

 14 quarts of peaches bottled 

4 peach cream pies frozen

2 loads of dehydrated peaches

2 loads of dehydrated pears (picked from our tree)

Maybe now I can get to cleaning my house!

And someday I'll get to working on that quilt....  :)
