Canning season 2013 is finished!

Yesterday I did the last of my canning for the year.  Remember that article on sauerkraut?   It was ready to can up yesterday and so I did 11 quarts and 16 pints from what was in the crock.  All in all, I canned up 390 jars of various things with Mom's help.  I only had 2 seal failures and no jar breakages.   That's pretty good, I think!  We were very blessed this year with a productive garden.  In spite of the heat and lack of rain (we had to water like crazy), everything grew nicely.   We did well at the farm market with selling things, and we were able to give away a lot of produce to others, too.   We are ready for winter with a full pantry and a full freezer.  The Lord has been so good to us!
