Preserving The Harvest


In the last few days we have received another 2 inches of rain. The cucumbers have run amuck and I have picked daily. Tomatoes are coming in as well. So today was a canning and dehydrating day. The first to be done were the tomatoes. I filled the dehydrator full and what was left I canned. These were mostly paste tomatoes, so I just peeled and canned them whole. Of course one jar didn't seal :o( and so tomorrow I am going to make a creamy tomato and basil soup. On to the cucumbers. Some  spears and some slices, for total of 9 pints. At the end of the day, satisfaction guaranteed!
