The first of the month I found mushrooms in 1 pound boxes for $1.99 each. Cheapest I have seen in a while. I cooked half of one and the needed to do something with the rest. I decided to try to dehydrate them in the oven. It worked very well. All night at the lowest temp I can set it on. I did the other pack the next day. Used half dried half. Funny thing the whole thing fits in a tiny little snack baggie. Doen't take any room at all to store.
Working on yelow squash now. 4 squash, sliced in rounds, in the freezer.

did a batch of pesto last night. i wound up with 3 cups total, which was not as much as i expected for the amount of basil i picked. i divided it into 6 half-cup servings and put it in the freezer. hopefully the next batch will make a good amount to keep us through the winter.

Today, I got 10 pints of speghetti sauce and one full dehydrator of tomato slices. Last night I did the dehydrator full of mushrooms and had 3 quart baggies full. Picked about 3 gallon of fallen peaches but too hard to do much with yet. Keep up the good work gals. Sure will taste good this winter.

Six trays of cucumbers in the dehydrator. Yes, I did forget to pick them for a 'few' days. If this works out we've got at least one more batch to do, plus plenty of zucchini to dehydrate.
I'm having canning withdrawals and planning a trip to the orchard next week for hopefully apples, pears and peaches TO FILL SOME JARS!

6 quarts of tomato sauce
I've gotten lots of tomatoes but it still seems like I don't ever have enough at one time to make anything. Glad I finally had enough.

14 pints of apple pie applesauce and 14 pints of beets. Not happy about how the beets turned out. Do they loose some of their color in the process?

My appoligies to Iamthedude, I didn;t mean just gals, just a matter of speaking. How wonderful to see a gentleman do the canning. My father in law used to can also and I thought he was a wonderful man. Good cook also. Keep up your good work. OK?

I just got done canning 7 pints of stew beef with my newly combooberated pressure canner that I bought at an Estate Sale. I switched out the vent pipe and bought a jiggler. Replaced all the rubber, so it's good to go for an extended period of time now. I was going to do it on my gas stove in the house, but hubby brought up a propane single burner that used to be with a turkey fryer. It worked perfectly! Kept all that steam & heat out on the deck. Tomorrow I'm going to do some chicken tenders....

6 pints of chicken stock last night. wasn't thinking properly or i would have thawed the large bag of turkey bones in the freezer and made another batch of stock to fill the canner more. didn't seem quite right only doing 6 pints of something, but it had to be done.
tonight will bring more tomatoes and dill pickles.
