Harvested grapes for a gallon of juice
Picked more veggies
And p made pizza!
Arugula is growing again
Yes we can can
We canned a bunch of green and runner beans a couple of days ago. This was about a full drawer of veggies (I’d estimate 6lb, one big Pyrex bowl of runners, a bigger one of green beans). This was roughly 4 days of harvest- a glut!
Long pieces are easier to pack.
Undillybeans
A couple of days ago we pickled green beans and a tester of scarlet runner beans (with the same recipe). Success! Today we did another round of 6 mixed jars (10 jars total) because the beans are out of control.
That’s just today.
It looks like the sweet spot for the pickles, using this recipe is ~3.5 lbs. That makes 6 jars of beans with 3c each water and 5% white vinegar. 3.5 lbs of beans is roughly twice what’s shown in that picture. That gets us well below the 4.2 ideal ph.
Tonight we salsa
That’s about 12 cups of peeled, diced, tomato.
More pickling
We’re planning to make some salsa, but today was another day of pickling un-dilly beans.
It looks like 2 Sept harvest days of beans =~5 jars.
Undilly beans
Harvest was good today on green beans and tomatoes.
Beans got pickled (Two harvest days) with some of the peppers, dried pepper from last year, and garlic.
and extra broth fridge pickles (squash)
Canned tomatoes
We pressure canned 10 jars of tomatoes today (citric acid, salt). That was pretty much all the ripe guys. I took the leftovers and the skins, cooked, blended, and stained them into a bowl of thin sauce. The cut ends and remaining skins went into the “trash soup” (broth) bag.
