The Fruits (& Veggie's) of my Labor!

Some friends and myself decided it was high time we domesticate ourselves! Someone (not sure who0 got the great idea to try canning. So we got together and first we did Pears. They were A LOT of work however, they are SO yummy and it was a really fun day with good friends. Then, I think the same "someone" who thought pears would be fun, got word of peaches on sale! So Peaches it was. We enlisted the help of a couple more capable hands and had beautiful jars of peaches by the end of a another VERY long, labor intensive day. Once again, they are delish!!! Then I figured why not freeze some fresh corn. So I enlisted the help of my number one little girl and we shucked, blanched, sliced, packaged, and sucked the air out of a bunch of corn. It was a really fun afternoon with my little Claira Joe and the corn tastes so good. I really enjoy canning and allthough it does take a lot of time and work and is really not the less expensive route, I feel it is all worth it! The produce does taste SO MUCH BETTER!
