Canning Day!

My friend, Jen and I did a little canning yesterday. She's the same one that made applesauce with me a couple of weeks ago (after we picked them). No, we did not can pumpkin, but we did puree it (we? she did all the puree-ing, I just stood there holding Tara). We packed most of the puree into freezer bags. I used about 2 pounds to make Maple Pumpkin Butter .



Before...
...after. Actually, this is only 9 pumpkins. I couldn't fit more than that in the pan I was using.

She made cherry pie filling from some frozen cherries I bought about 2 weeks ago from a cherry farm in Ogden. She also canned some apple pie filling for herself (I froze some Monday).

It was a fun day until her keys got locked in her car. I didn't mind, but I think she was flustered.
