We ventured off to Wright's Farm, a little orchard right down the road from us today (if you're lucky enough to live near this lovely little corner of New England, visit! The dried flowers are something to see...) picking the beginnings of our apple harvest. A bit early indeed. As were the pumpkins and gourds that we contemplated buying... soon. Instead we're making tomato soup for dinner and possibly to can... and dreaming of the apple sauce, pie filling, and jam that will be made to keep us through the long winter. I've been thinking of doing a little post on our methods while canning. I love your questions, thanks for asking how we go about things! Can't wait to share. The weather has taken a bit of a turn, just a bit... bright blue skies and just the hint of fall... I love this time of year.
