Every year for decades my Dad took pictures of his shelves full of canning jars full for the winter. I have been more busy this year than in previous years, canning, dehydrating, vac sealing and freezing. We are getting our biggest bumper crop ever this year. I literally can’t get anything new in the freezer unless I take something out. I am so grateful for my upbringing especially the canning and preserving I grew up with and have carried on. It’s work for sure, but worth it for the quality and this year the food prices. I tried the bacon tomato jam and love it. Grateful for the friends here, the advice and sharing that continues. Happy Thanksgiving. It feels like it.
The Tomato Jam is on my To-Make list this weekend. :)

You are so lucky to have good weather. I have been hauling water up from the stream for my garden most of the summer. In this draught, I refuse to draw water from my well. Watering is just an add-on to the rest of the gardening and preserving work, but there would have been nothing if I hadn’t watered.
