I haven't had much time to dedicate to canning this week. I did got to a new market that opened up close to us. They were featuring strawberries, blueberries and raspberries for .77 a clam shell. You were able to buy four of each at a time. I bought the 12 berries, took them out to the car and returned to finish my shopping and buy another 12. I washed and froze the berries individually on a cookie sheet and then popped them in Ziploc freezer bags. That allows me to take out just what I need at one time.
We are also getting ready for a garage sale that we are having on Saturday. It's really a chance to have my DH clean out some of the 'treasures' he likes to keep. Me, I can toss pretty much anything, anytime. Except maybe for journals and photos, the rest is just stuff.
We did try some of the dill pickles I made the other day. The ones I made with Mrs. Wages dill pickle mix were actually rather good. I put them in the fridge before opening and they were crisp with a good dill flavor. I ended up canning more cukes with the leftover brine.
I am getting ready to go to Disneyland with a girlfriend. Her pass is expiring and she wanted to go one more time before it's done. All work and no play...
