Got myself a great little vacum sealer today at the VV Boutique 😀
Didn't find the bread maker I was lookin for oh well

Sweeeet!!!

In the last week or so....2 batches of monkey butter, 3 batches of raspberry-peach jam, two batches of sour cherry jam, froze 6 quarts of tomatoes, I'm going to guess at a total of 3 quarts of mixed little hot peppers got bagged for the freezer, pickled 4 pints of peppers in a sweet pickling syrup. I suspect I'll be doing a LOT of pickled peppers. My peppers are going gangbusters and my tomatoes are still producing like crazy...I found a bruschetta topping to can on the Ball canning site that I'm going to try this week too.
