Canning with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson

Cute pictures of Ethan with Grandma and Grandpa Max




So I decided it is about time I learn to bottle. My mom use to do it when I was a kid, but she stopped about the time I probably would have learned, so my Grandma said I could come out and they would bottle peaches with me. I went to buy some bottles from the Merc and my Mother-in-Law Ann gave me a ton THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH ANN!!! My Father-in-law Bob also gave me lids too THANKS! So Ethan and I headed over to Eastland. It was nice spending the day with my Grandparents. They were tons of help we bottled two bushels of peaches, my Grandpa and Terry went to Dove Creek the day before and picked them for me soooo nice. I was supriced, it wasn't hard but it was very time consumming and I had lots of help. Well now I am an expert.


I also went and did apple sause with Dorene and Brookie (More jars and lids from my in-laws), and then more apple sauce with James (He took a half day off to help me). My Mom let me bottle in her kitchen because it is bigger and easier there. Haven let me use her dehydrater to make apple slices and apple fruit leather (so good) Thanks! Everyone has been so helpful and nice to help me learn to bottle Thanks to everyone who helped!

Well now you know why I have'nt blogged for so long, between canning, reffing and reading there was little time for blogging.
