One day last week I had a refresher lesson in canning some summertime goodies.
My girlfriend and her Dad can jalapenos and peppers every summer.
It's a precious father and daughter team that have been doing this together for years. I was delighted to lend a helping hand and share in their memory making. I brought over some peppers and jalapenos from my little garden, but these two baskets are from Diane's HUGE garden. She told me that these two baskets were only about 1/3 of her peppers from the garden! Wow!
Here I am am stirring the syrup mixture and bringing it to a boil before it's added to the peppers. We had to be careful when handling these peppers. If you touch your eyes or lips it burns like crazy for hours!
I love the beautiful colors!
Here is Diane and Paul her father removing the jars from the boiling kettle. Paul is removing a broken jar from the kettle. Several jars broke over the course of the morning. We weren't sure why this happened.......... maybe we packed them to tightly and did not leave enough room for expansion......... who knows?
Anyway, I had a delightful time in the kitchen that morning with this dynamic duo!
Hope you have a blessed day!
