So glad I got some canning done this year. It's been quite some time since I have canned this much. I wish my tomatoes had produced even more so I could have put up more than just salsa, but grateful for what we got for sure. We are certainly stocked up on jalapeno jelly I think! Tonight's agenda was more apple butter in the crockpot and some pear butter. I have never made pear butter so hope it turns out. I don't think I let it cook down as much as I should have, but I was getting so tired and just wanted to call it a night. Hopefully, it will be okay.
Tomorrow I will try the pear honey and probably more applesauce. Not sure what else I might come up with. Oh, I also wanted to get some apple pie filling put up too. I really hope I can pull off getting a pressure cooker for canning this year (for canning next year).
The garden is winding down and really needs to move towards winterizing. I was going to try to put in some fall crops but decided not to since I can't seem to keep up with everything else right now. The extra babies in the coop have kept me busier than I care to be with the coops right now. My once 30 min or less routine has become a 90 min job by the time I am done with everything. Will be glad when this crew is either grown or processed.
What's new on your homestead? Any plans for your fall garden?
