Canning

This year I had to can by myself. My Mom's excuse is that she's in Mexico. Excuses, excuses...

Anyway, I was pretty pleased with myself. I did all the peaches all day on a Saturday and finished those. I had to stretch out the pears over a week. Partly it was because I didn't have time to spend all of one day. Mostly, it was because they weren't all ripe. Great coincidence!
Now, I have to go pick apples at my parents house and then I'll make applesauce. Richard is really excited because he loves to squish the applesauce through the processor. That was my favorite part when I was growing up, too!
