We worked hard yesterday and got 9 pints of pickle relish made, 8 pints of hot peppers pickled, 10 more quarts of tomato sauce finished, and tonight it might rain.I picked several gallons of peppers, so I'll pickle them until I run out of jars, I guess -- which is in the not-too-distant future. I'm left wondering about the mechanism of turning colors in peppers -- I have these nice yellows (above) that turn red -- but only a few of them. Once they're picked, they do start turning more enthusiastically, but then they're drying (shriveling) and losing freshness. But maybe that's not a problem when pickling them. Must do some research.
The apple-dryers made big progress by borrowing a much bigger dryer. They got 2+ gallon bags of apple slices bagged, and I've hidden them, so perhaps they'll last.
