Ok, so my mom came down this weekend and we have been canning spaghetti sauce. It is alot of work but it tastes so yummy. The work today consisted of cutting up 25 onions, peeling and pressing 12 heads of garlic, and peeling about 4 bushel of tomatoes. It took us ALL DAY LONG!!!!! About 10 hours to be exact!!
We made a total of 56 quarts of spahetti sauce. Holy Crap!!! That is alot of sauce. Good thing we only have to make it about every other year and we half everything to share.
We have had a great time today and tomorrow we are canning peaches, pears, and making pear jam. This is my favorite kind of jam there is.
This is the sauce cooking and tomatoes steaming so they peel easier.
Mom thinks she is tired but she is only SLACKING!! J/K
Oh, my aching back.
This is about 1/2 the finished work.
Hard workers!
The onions are totally burning my eyes. I could barely open them.
The culprits of my eyes on fire!
Peeling tomatoes.

Wow I wish I was that ambitious. I wish I lived closer & I would come try out that pear jam. I don't think I have ever tried it before.
I hope you are sharing all of your hard work with your family. ha ha Miss you guys already!
O.k. next time you ambitious ladies get canning, let me know. I could use a lesson or two. That is a lot of sauce. Good for you! Pear jam? Never heard of it. Sounds good though.
Way to go girl~! That is so hard but so worth it huh! I need some good advice on canning! It was fun to see your mom too!
Holy crap is right! I made 6 pints of choke cherry jelly and figured I was related to Martha Stewart. No way girl - I think you are! LOL
Yes, I would have to agree with, "Holy Crap!" Way to go, ladies!
