It isn't that I haven't been canning or preserving since then, only that I never kept up the lists for proof. Too bad too- it is a bit self-gratifying to see the sweaty afternoons preserving all tidily organized on a proverbial shelf for me to look back on. Why yes- many days of sweat DO add up to edibles. ;-)
And here is the 2017 Put 'Em Up List--- in order to wipe the slate clean and make room for 2020. Lord willing, it will be a doozy.
Here's some photos of making apple chips in March with the last of the winter apples... (they were BEAUTS...even after being stored for months)
