The water bath is heating up and the lids are sterilizing in a sauce pan. I'm stirring watermelon juice, vinegar, sugar, grated ginger, and pectin. |
In other news, food preservation continues! I started watermelon jelly on Monday and finished it on Tuesday afternoon. In fact, I was
washing dishes just as Michael came home from work, and that left our evening free to attack the other things that needed to be taken care of, namely, carrots. Michael got a fannyload of them on Sunday by digging them up with the potato fork. Last night, we washed, trimmed, scraped and re-washed the carrots before raw packing them and getting them into the pressure canner....pictures of the productivity follow, just below:
Just out of the canner! Watermelon-ginger jelly. |
Rainbow carrots, being peeled and chopped. |
The smaller carrots got their own jar. |
We chopped the larger ones. |
Fresh out of the pressure canner! |
A long view of Tuesday's productivity...is that a ghost in the image, or is our jar just steaming? |
