Saving More
This has been one of my fun projects this summer, preserving and canning. I have canned such things as pears, peaches, applesauce, green beans, and relish. One of the things people are most surprised about is the pearsauce. It's just like applesauce but you make it out of pears. It is so yummy and the best part is that you don't have to use any sugar, a plus in my book any day. I made relish this year and have never done it before. I can't say the cost was that much less than just buying it but I know exactly whats in it and it didn't cost nearly as much as any organic brand out there. I also did some freezer jam and just saved up some blueberries and raspberries in the freezer. Right now I have zucchini zucchini zucchini and making lots of bread. I am going to try zucchini quiche tonight. I still want to do more apples for apple bread, more applesauce, apple pie filling , salsa, and blackberries for jam and just to have some the freezer. This is my first year really doing alot of this and next year I hope to get started sooner and do better planning. What kind of things do you preserve from your garden or summer crops?

I love the new digs! Very cute!
I guess you know what I put away but I will be trying summer squash relish in the next day or two. I'll let you know how that goes.
