Canning & The Fair
Tue Sep 14 2010

I put up 7 quarts of fruit cocktail on Sunday (Peaches, pears, red grapes, blueberries & pineapple) and my house smelled AMAZING while I was doing it. Fruity and yummy!

I still have another batch to put up, but I needed to take a break yesterday so Hubby and I could go to The Fair. Fair food and walking around resulted in the need for alkaseltzer and ice for my feet, but it was SO worth it. We somehow managed to miss roasted corn and elephant ears though, so we will just HAVE to go back next Monday!

As for tonight, I plan to relax. Once I'm done making dinner that is.

    I can't imagine my house smelling good at this point. It smells like pickles ( joint compound) and there's dust everywhere *sigh*

    I have never canned fruit cocktail.

    What a concept.

    I'm liking the idea.

    Roasted corn.... that sounds REALLY good!
