Canned two quarts of tomato sauce. Now onto 4 pints of salsa. Using up the last of the ripe tomatoes. Picked the rest of the green ones -- going to pickle them today (it's getting chillier here, I figured they wouldn't ripen). Hoping to get in some applesauce and caramel apple jam today, too. Happy canning everyone!

I can't believe this, I was going to take today off from canning and anything that didn't involve my daughter. August was the busiest month I've had with my business in years. In fact, The last week in July all the way through to today, I've made more money then the last 2 christmases combined! I'm in AWE! To top that it was the biggest harvest and canning month I've ever had. Haven't gotten much sleep I can say.

Well, I got notified today that I am completely sold out of Hot Pepper Jelly in town and they have a waiting list!!!!

So, I'm going to go watch a movie and have lunch with my daughter, maybe get suckered into playing barbies... but tonight after dinner... back to hot pepper jelly it will be!!!

So much for a whole day off.

I put my eggs in with the "Spicy Pickled Beet" recipe from the 100th year anniversary Ball Blue Canning book. Yum

ARGH! SQUEAL! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I do not understand this week... I really don't get it? Today... day off? NOPE!

I got a feature in Etsy's Newsletter for some of their favorite finds on Etsy, and the orders starting rolling in like CRAZY! I sold nearly 20 jars of jam in an hour. Plus custom orders! So off I got to walmart to get jars and start restocking for the day.

Here's a link to the newsletter from Etsy that went into everyone's email boxes around noon today:

My item is the Caramel Apple Jam... the one I shared the recipe here.

Congrats!! Our Walmart hasn't had jars in stock lately. I might find one or two but not nearly enough to fill my orders. We usually buy 20+ cases at a time. They will last about 2-3 weeks. I need to find some whole sale ones at a good price.

chicken stalker, check here... I'm about to make an order this weekend with them.

I do need to goto walmart and get what ever I can though to do what I can until the order comes in. I swore no more canning after the first weekend of October came and went. (Other then the wedding order I may have)

I'm so tired, I've had 3 more orders come in since my last point... and I am literally done to 1 jar of several things!

80 jars of various jams and jellies today....a personal record. I have 2 more batches to make tonight which will bring the total near 100. I've been at it since 9am.....I'm beat. Hopefully the market doesn't get rained out tomorrow. Waiting for the dishwasher to finish. I ran it 4 times today and made mostly double batches in each of my 3 pots. This is how I do so many in one day....I'm a huge procrastinator and my vacation didn't help.

And I thought doing a 4 gallon batch of feta and a batch of jam at the same time was multi tasking!
