Busy Kitchen...

It was the last week of the Every Bit Counts Challenge...

and I still had lots of options on what to preserve and store

Pears in a Light Syrup

Pear and Ginger Jelly made from the pear skins and cores

I was given a huge bag of plums...so made Plum Jam

and chopped the rest and put them.. skins and all.. in the dehydrator..

ready for our breakfast cereal and oatmeal 

( they came out deliciousy sweet and chewy )

The Clear Jel I ordered arrived late...
so while waiting I chopped turnips for the freezer

When the Clear Gel arrived I finally made Blueberry Pie Filling

Challenge Completed!
I managed to preserve one item every day during August
It was hard work.. but I loved every minute.

But I havent finished... Right now I have diced potatoes in the dehydrator 

ready for soups and stews.. 

apples ready to make into canned pie filling...

 and "ugly"carrots and celery ready to process. 

I love a busy kitchen

Love and Hugs
