Entry #1 Strawberry rhubarb jam

They are very good looking peaches!

Bought them from a farm where I used to work when I was laid off and needed something temporary.

Their peaches are amazing and I learned what the best ones to work with are. I used Contenders, which don't brown.

We had a farm here with good peaches, but the family did not want to continue the farm so it closed down this summer.

Entry #2 Green beans. My favorite veggie, love them raw, steamed, canned, casseroled, just plain love them! One of the best parts of canning is hearing the "pop" telling you that you did it right! And I had a cute surprise while I was picking. Not one but two bunny nests in the garden!

We have a 10' x 10' sweet corn patch that we cram with as much corn as we can.
We have had some corn on the cob for 2 suppers and I processed the rest for the freezer.
My corn last month, it got another foot taller and tasseled out:

Picked and shucked corn, and put it in the boiling water in the stockpot for 5 minutes, had to repeat this 5 times today:

I cut the corn off the cob and put 2 1/2 cups of fresh corn into freezer bags to freeze, I got 17 baggies this year:

I'm very thankful for the harvest. We pulled the corn stalks, husks and I saved the cobs to feed to my pigs, so nothing is wasted.

Nice to have that much put up and ready for meals down the road.

I don't think this counts as an entry since I'm only preserving it overnight (it's dinner tomorrow), but I wanted to show off my very first basil tomato sauce. Made with tomatoes and herbs from my garden.
