2 Days of Preserving

Yesterday I started out with 20 lbs of pickling cucumbers, 26 lbs of ripe peaches, and 2 lbs of banana peppers.  I also started out with one 2 gallon crock, one 1 gallon crock, and 19 quart mason jars.

Now, as of 11:42 pm, I have:
  • 1 quart of pickled banana peppers
  • 4 quarts of peach sections in light syrup
  • 6 quarts of peach pie filling
  • 1 7/8 quarts of peach topping
  • 2 quarts spicy dill refrigerator pickles
  • 2 quarts dill refrigerator pickles
  • 2 quarts bread and butter pickles
  • 2 gallons of fermenting full-sour dill pickles
  • 1 gallon of fermenting half-sour dill pickles
I have approximately 2 lbs of cucumbers and 2 1/2 lbs of peaches left.  I am completely out of mason jars.

I'm going to bed now.
