I thought I was done...but no!

Just when I though we were getting caught up with the garden and food preparation, I have to go out and trade some canning jars for two big boxes of pears.

From what we dehydrated and canned yesterday, 28 lbs., I would guess the two boxes together weighed about 80 lbs. We canned 7 qts and put about 30 pears in the dehydrators. I dropped one of the jars taking it out of the pressure cooker, after all that work, so ended up with just six. We should get about 6 qt size bags when they come out of the dehydrators today. I did learn something, I found out pears are not my favorite thing to prepare for canning or dehydrating! They are a lot of work. That still leaves about 45 - 50 lbs to do something with, like maybe, giving them away.

The chickens and donkeys loved the peelings........

Im curoius how much have you eatten so far? Do you sell them?

You need some address labels on those jars.

I could send you some....
