I over did it again.

I do this all the time. I learn how to do something new and then I get all excited and go way over board. This year I learned to can. It started with peach syrup about a month ago and kind of took off from there. In total I have done over 180 bottles this year. My first year. I would love to continue, But I have run out of bottles.
Here's what I have made so far. Apple Sauce (23) Pears (18) Peaches (63) Peach syrup(11) Apple pie filling (20) Apple/Raspberry jam (6) Tomatoes (7) Jalapeno Pepper jelly (7) Jalapeno Apple jam (6) Raspberry Jam (11) Prunes (30). Yum.

Next year I want to try some more weird jams and jellies. Did you know you can make jelly from dandelions or rose petals? Crazy!

Okay, wow. I'm very impressed. All I've done is strawberry jam. I'm especially impressed with the tomatoes. I hear that's really time consuming.
