Last week a couple friends and I split some boxes of produce. We got them for a good price that Sara so kindly organized and picked up. Stacie and I decided we would can our portions of produce. Well, my dear friend Stacie had never canned before in her life! I, on the other hand, have canned many a times during my life with my grandma and step mom. That being said I am not used to being the one all knowing about what I am canning. So with a little help from this huge jem:
Stacie and I were on our way! First day we did salsa with our tomatoes and jam with our peaches. The next day we did tomato sauce with the rest of our tomatoes (we had a lot of tomatoes that were VERY ripe). Then the last day I whipped out the pears. Here is a collage of the fruit of our labors!
Who wants to join us next year?

Very impressive! I love bottles pears but I think they are the worst to do. But I guess I should have a party with my friends and it would make it more fun! Good job.
Makes the 6 jars of freezer jam I made yesterday look pretty pitiful. :) Way to go!
Don't forget to mention your awesome husband who cleaned and scrubbed the kitchen counters, stove, and floor after it was all over!
yes you did forget to metion that my dear. what an awesome husband you have! I really am going to come and steal some of those from you...when...i will have to get back to you on that.
Let me know and I'll buy the $50 ticket to fly down and join you. I've never canned...isn't that sad. My mom used to do it a lot, but I guess I never did it with her. Guess I'd better get going!

Count me in, I'll take the day off. You're awesome!
