Donald, Emily, and I took a trip to the farmer's market this week and picked up some wonderful fresh produce. We decided to undertake canning some homemade pickles after trying some absolutely fantastic pickles made by one of Donald's coworkers. The three of us spent this afternoon peeling cucumbers, boiling jars, and packing pints and are pleased with our outcome. I've been wanting to try canning for quite a while (channeling my inner Laura Ingalls - y'all know I love her!) and am excited to go back to the farmer's market and pick up some tomatoes! Stay tuned for rag rug weaving next week.
Sterilizing the jars
The jar lifter came in really handy. Glad we bought that starter pack of utensils!
Letting everything boil
Finished product!
