9-20 Carrots and Sweet Potatoes

Hi Folks..
There are still a bunch of carrots to be canned. :) Today we will dig around in the sweet potatoes and see how big they are getting. I do soooo love sweet potatoes. I can remember when I was about 5 years old, in southern Calif., there was a huge field of sweet potatoes next to our property. I would sneak out to the field and crawl down the rows pulling up sweet potatoes and eating them raw. :) :) Suzanne

I had some pineapple left so decided to make some pineapple jam. Never made it before so don't know how it will set up. Looks pretty good, though. :)

James, Annette, and the kids, brought over some watermelons from the garden tonight.
Sooooo.. I traded them some peaches and a jar of peach jam for watermelon. It was delicious!

Jim, at Pure Prairie, got in some peaches from Colorado, so I decided to make some peach jam.
I used 2 cups crushed pineapple, 6 cups peaches, 10 cups sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tblsp. butter, and 2 boxes sure-jell.

I got 6 pint jars of jam from one batch. It sure smells good in here right now! :)
