Phew! More Cucumbers
Well, I don't have a photo, but I canned another 8 quarts of 3-day pickles this morning.
Yesterday I picked another 27 cucumbers and will be gifting those to others for now.
Yesterday I picked 2 pounds of broccoli, blanched and froze that too.
These are all previous, and very hot (in the 100's) canning days. I took the beet juice and used it to dye some material. It's not the color I was looking for, so I may try tea-bags next, along with canned blueberry juice.
The kids hand cranked the ice cream on one of our hottest days - 102°, heat index up to 115°. They were sweating, but really enjoyed the ice cream. Delicious!
As you can see, we are back to up and running with a new computer tower, and a bit poorer in the pocket book.
