What are you canning now?

Let me know how it comes out if you make it with yellow raspberries. That's the next variety I want to plant. I'm trying to convince hubby to let me take the corn patch and make it a berry patch. Corn is so cheap in the stores and it's a pain to plant here with our dirt. (gotta get the tractor in there to get the dirt ready) The berries are pricey and I'd get so much more use out of them. But he doesn't eat berries - he does eat corn - so it's a discussion right now.

Well maybe you can compromise. Half corn and half berries.

Naw, I have a better approach. I told him HE was planting the corn this year. I plant, tend, and pick everything in the garden and he complains that it's not producing enough, not planted at the right time, not planted close enough together, etc - so I stuck him with the corn if he's going to complain. Thus the corn patch is empty.

A pic of my Pear Honey that I made yesterday:

I try to keep my sweet tooth in check but I'd sure like to have one dollop of that pear honey on a biscuit. Just to see if it was good or not. : )

I agree that it's not worth the effort to grow corn but I end up doing it every other year or two. Mine did good this year and then got blown down at the last minute.

My son came in and looked over my shoulder at that pear honey.
The reply was, 'Ohhh, That looks Wonderful!"
so, after I get the miserable jalapeno jelly to jell, I will work on it..., no, I have the grape to re-batch. But at least the honey doesn't have to 'set'.

I knocked out 8 jars of more fig jam, so grateful for all those I froze because I sold out before I knew what hit me!

You 've got to stop I just don't have the money for all that fruit. Iv'e got the jelly /jam bug. That honey looks so good.

I did see a recipe for wild grape jelly but I'm not sure what I've got are decent enough for jelly. I might have got to them too late.

I did however go back and buy more Boyne raspberry plants and goose and currants too. I figure if I can get half the crop the farm had I should have enough. I do need to get some manure though and have Jesse help dig the holes.

You guys are so inspiring.
