Hey there everybody!!!! It's been a while since my last post, but things have been busy around here. I've been canning tomatoes, and dealing with the last of the garden. We're trying to get as much out of it as we can.
Yesterday we picked all of the pumpkins, and Frank brought them down to the house in the tractor wagon. We got 6 decent sized pumpkins. As soon as I finish making the Damson jelly that I started yesterday, I'll get started on the pumpkins. I'm going to roast the seeds, can the pumpkin meat, and save the rinds for the worms. We will be harvesting those tubs and getting them started fresh here in the next few days.
Frank has been doing the random butchering that needs to be done, so my freezer is filling up with winter meat. We made some rabbit sausage last week. We didn't stuff it though, because I wanted to just go ahead and leave it loose so that I can make sausage patties, or do whatever with it. I'm planning on making some big pots of soup here soon, so that I can get that canned up and put back. Last winter we ate a lot of soup, and that was awesome.
Since my counter has been full with the dehydrator, and canning supplies, I haven't been able to make any bread. As soon as all of that is done, I think I'm going to have to make a few big batches of bread.
I'm planning on taking lots of pictures of the different things we have going on, so there will be a big picture blog coming soon!!!!
I've got to dash, because this Jelly isn't going to make itself!!! (although wouldn't that be nifty?)
