Bottling / Canning update

Today was going to be a scorcher, so I got in early and did a couple of batches of tomatoes, and tomato stock in the canner. They can go on the rapidly finning shelves in the pantry. Up to 56 jars of tomatoes now!


Then there are the jams, chutneys and pickles spread over the pantry and the linen cupboard. There's also a shelf of home dried fruits, tomatoes, courgettes and chillis.


Thanks to a windfall of bottles (over 50!!) from one of Jerry's colleagues, my bottle storage area is full again, so I still have plenty of opportunity to fill up the pantry shelves.
