WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

Ended up getting a bit over 22 lbs of sweets. Didn't love them all - they were HUGE. I dug through and picked the smallest ones I could find, but I would classify even the smaller ones as pretty darn big. Cashier asked me if I was making a bunch of sweet potato pies - I said yep - 35 people coming for dinner and I'm making 10 pies, lol. (not true)

Also picked up 5 sweet red peppers for .87c apiece. Cheaper than the other store. First time in a long time that I've come out of a grocery store spending less than $9.00. The sweets were less than 5 bucks!

Come on down, lol. Actually found them for less at another store - but it's too far away for the drive to be cost effective.

About to put the first batch in the canner!

Just reminds me of the time I flew from Pasco to Virginia with 90 pounds of potatoes in a seabag.

Yes it was back in the 90s when bag weight limits were a lot higher.
