Guess I'm resurrecting this thread! Yesterday I processed about 25 pounds of peaches, about 6 quarts, and started my cherries, 5 quarts worth, only 1/5th of my harvest. HATE pitting!!!!! :barnie
I'll be thanking myself come next winter.

So far just strawberry jam, mulberry and dandelion jelly, regular and pickled beets, vegetable soup, and chicken broth. Chicken broth shouldn't count, I can that year around.

A frost got all my plums and peaches. I'll get zero from my trees there. I'll probably buy some of each for jelly and to make chutney. I usually can peaches too but I won't buy that many. I have a lot of blueberries and blackberries in the freezer to be turned into jam and jelly, but not yet. Other things to do.

I dehydrated tomatoes yesterday. Six large Cherokee Purple tomatoes made 2 of those little jelly jars and a really small jar half the size of the jelly jars. I oven canned them to get a good seal on the lids. POP! Music to my ears!

3 1/2 more quarts of cherries up. The Rest of the cherries are frozen...I'll deal with Those later. Two days of busy, so I won't work on the yard again until Saturday. BUT, we've had like 5 inches of rain this week, so I couldn't do much anyway, except pull weeds.

Four quarts of peaches in the freezer. Not much, I know, but it's the most that tree has ever produced and they were really pretty. Considering that a quart of peaches of similar size and type were $6 a qt. at the local farmer's market...and those were whole peaches, not cleaned and cut up, I feel pretty rich. According to those prices, those 4 qt. of peaches represented about $65 worth of peaches.
