I think the canning season is officially over, or is it Mom? (She always finds more things for me to can just when I think I am done!) This year was an excellent year for produce in our garden. It is amazing to think that the garden produces enough food to feed 5 families for a year! I am always so happy to look at my food storage, especially what I have canned because it represents a lot of hard work.
Here are my 2009 totals:
Beans: 87 quarts
Corn: 33 quart size freezer bags
Peaches: 29 quart size freezer bags and 8 canned quarts
Salsa: 20 pints
Stewed Tomatoes: 16 quarts
Apple Pie Filling: 11 quarts
Chicken Breasts: 25 quarts
Raspberry Peach Freezer Jam: 20 jars
Raspberry Freezer Jam: 8 jars
Chicken breasts were my newest canning adventure and it was a lot of fun to learn and do with Lauren. The chicken is tender and delicious. It will come in handy on those busy days when I forget to take the meat out of the freezer for dinner or just to add to a casserole. I will do more next year for sure!
Yea for us! Another year down with the huge Taylor garden!!!

Look at that organization!! Looks great!
Looking good Steph! but You still need to amp up on your Wheat, Flour, Oats, Sugar, and Potato Flakes! Wheat is the staff of life.
That looks so amazing!! My neighbor told me about canning chicken breasts this fall. I'd never thought about canning meat but what a great idea!
