A couple of months ago a friend got 4 doz wide-mouth quart jars for me at a barn sale. Total $18. I already had 2 dozen. Today I found 6 dozen pint jars for $30 and am picking them up tomorrow. I've got about a dozen 1/2 pint jars tucked away, too.
Silly me... you'd think I needed to can like crazy or something! What am I going to can so much of?!? I should point out that we've got a 2-person household.
My honey-do canning list so far:
QUART:
1 doz tomato/spaghetti sauce
1 doz salsa
1 doz tomatoes
1 doz apple sauce & pie filling
.5 doz dill pickles
.5 doz peaches
.5 doz chicken stock
PINT:
1 doz chicken stock
1 doz veggie soup
.5 doz corn
.5 doz green beans
.5 sweet pickles
.5 doz misc apple stuff
.5 doz tomatillo salsa
.25 doz blackberry jam
.25 doz blueberry jam
.25 doz vanilla-peach jam
.25 catsup
MISC:
* small batches misc jam or chutney
* 2-3 pints sauerkraut
* more blueberry stuff?
Good thing I'm starting my "stay-cation" on Thursday.
