the fruits of our labor

We have 16 quarts of frozen peach halves in light syrup; a pint of dried peach halves; 8x8oz jars of peach jam; 15 quarts plus 7 pints of spiced pears; 16 quarts of frozen apples + cinnamon + sugar for apple crisp. Apples you say? Yes, we are now working on apples. Lots of apples. Frozen, dried, sauce, and cider. Someday my kitchen will be clean. Today is not the day.



If you are wondering, those are dilly beans on the shelf above the spiced pears. We have a lot of dilly beans; twenty quarts, I think...and if you are wondering what dilly beans are, they are green beans + dill + garlic packed in a mixture of water + salt + vinegar. We didn't grow green beans this year, so we had to buy them on sale to make this favorite snack.
