The Fruits of My Labor

Yesterday I shared with you that I planned to can some green beans, pizza sauce and blackberry jelly.  I am happy to report that I accomplished my goals.  Here are the fruits of my labor.

That sink full of tomatoes…

…became 4 pints of pizza sauce.
Those two buckets of green beans…
…were processed into seven quart jars.

Those four containers of blackberry juice…
…became ten pints and thirteen small jars of blackberry jelly.
I even made seven jars of blueberry jam with the blueberries my aunt and uncle gave us last week on our trip.
In addition to all of that canning, I was able to find time to play with my children and help my husband with some projects.  I think I had a pretty productive day. 
Here’s hoping you have a wonderful and productive day today.  :-)

    I'm here from Lisa Jo's carnival, and OH MY WORD, could I have some blackberry jam please? That all looks fabulous. I'm missing my garden now. (I used to have one, although I never canned. But right now, we live in a townhouse without a yard, so I just have to live on the Farmer's Market and be content with that.)

    So nice to meet you!
