canning and freezing
What do you do when you grow so much of our own...can and freeze. Scott, Children, and I spent the day making our first Jam out of Blackberries grown in the yard, making sweet pickles, and freezing more beans. Oh and I may add the Children and Scott had a lot of fun taste testing especially the Blackberry Jam *LOL* 14 cups of sugar later between the pickles and Jam...end process was Oh So Sweet!!!
Blackberry Jam made with fresh grown Blackberries pictured under Around The Yard...5 cups of fresh Blackberries and 7 cups of sugar later.
Bread and Butter/Sweet Pickles...sandwich slices, spears, and chips
