Hello, friends!
It has been raining for two days straight here in Lanark, Ontario (Canada), but you'll get no complaints from me. My garden was starting to look pretty dry.
Yesterday, I did some canning (preserving)...all day! Love this time of year! It's when you can take all the lovely vegetables you and Mother Nature have worked so hard to grow, and turn them into all kinds of yummy foods for the coming winter.
So far, I've canned blueberry jam, three kinds of pickles, marinara sauce, tomato juice, rotel-type tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, salsa, green relish and pickled turnips. Still to come are my husband's favourite: Pickled beets.
Just for the fun of it, I am including a picture of what I have so far...
That's it for my Sunday post. We have company coming for dinner, so there's a lot to do, including baking a chocolate cake!
Enjoy what's left of your weekend, and read a book!

Do you do any pickling/canning/preserving? If yes, what are your favourites? If you have a recipe or two you wish to share with our readers, I would be more than happy to post them on this blog. If you are looking for a specific recipe, let me know; I just might have it! Personally, I love trying new recipes and don't mind sharing the old ones!That's it for my Sunday post.
