Lots n Lots of Canning

It has been a couple of weeks since I posted, things have been very busy! This is one of my favourite times of year when all sorts of local produce is available. I love to do home canning, that way I can use locally grown produce and I know exactly what goes into it. I canned beets, peach salsa, and prepared some peaches for freezing. My husband has been making his homemade pasta sauce. Everything is so much better home made. For example the pasta sauce, if you compare the store bought stuff to what we made they look very different not to mention ours tastes so much better. It isn't really any cheaper to make your own but no preservatives or artificial colours or flavours go in it.


I am hoping we will be able to some more before the end of season. I just love the beets and we really go through the pasta sauces. We have made some more sauce since and I would like to make some vegetable salsa. I don't think I am going to do any pickles as we still have lots of sweet dills left from last year.
