I& #39;m starting a thread to document everything I can or preserve until season& #39;s end. I& #39;ll post daily.
2 pints blended tomatoes.
I spent too much time blanching, coring, and peeling whole tomatoes last year. This season, I& #39;ll simply blend whole tomatoes in my food processor and water bath can with citric acid and salt.

The baby sleeps and I& #39;m hard at work canning caponata
6 half pints of blueberry jam fresh out of the water bath canner.
Only fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. I canned a batch last week but @normonics kept eating them. Might do another batch before they& #39;re out of season.

Preparing another batch of tomato purée. Using the pressure canner this time. Tired of water sloshing all over my floor from water bath.
Hit the mother load picking peppers at our CSA farm yesterday. Jalapeños, cayenne, Hungarian hot wax.
Into the dehydrator they go.

7 quarts tomato purée. I& #39;ll do whole canned tomatoes when the Roma bushels are ready from my CSA.
1 gal pickled yellow watermelon. These will sit for a couple days at room temp then go into the fridge.
More half sour pickles. I can& #39;t get enough of these.
Putting this in the thread even though I do this bi-weekly. Making 1.5 gal of yogurt from local, fresh, non-homogenized grass fed milk. It will stay good in the fridge for months and months.
3 quarts marinara from 14 lbs of Roma. I& #39;m going to buy one more half bushel this season.
HOT salsa with jalapeños, serranos and habaneros. At this point in the season, I& #39;m out of pint jars. Almost out of quarts. Haven& #39;t even canned peaches or apples yet.
4.5 quarts peaches in honey syrup. Some unfortunate air bubbles in this one, but they& #39;re sealing anyways.
Waiting on a ball jar delivery this evening to can more food. Underestimated my supply and every store locally was sold out.
Making mixed berry jam with all the foraged berries @normonics collected this season. Will can.
We had a small concord grape harvest this year, made some jelly

6 quarts carrots. Raw pack.
Received a lot of carrots from our CSA this season. Was running out of space in my fridge.

Canning session underway for the best applesauce I& #39;ve had in my life.
