The sound of Jars popping as they seal is therapeutic for me 😂 after all the hard work it’s so rewarding to know you had another successful canning session. Yesterday's round was salsa. We go through salsa pretty fast around here. #canning #canningandpreserving #canningseason #canningjars #canningday #canningsalsa #salsa #tomatoes #craftyourselfdotcom #craftyourselfcrafts https://www.instagram.com/p/CVJAdUwrl7k/?utm_medium=tumblr

I canned a lot of grape juice this year and I've still been giving away grapes like crazy. I've had grapes coming out my ears. We haven't had a deep freeze yet so I still have some if any of my neighbors want to come grab some. My Sammy helped me this year. She always used to blanch my tomatoes for salsa so it was fun to have her here while I was doing it. #canningandpreserving #canningseason #canning #canninggrapejuice #grapes #grapejuice #canningjars #canningqueen #craftyourselfdotcom #craftyourselfcrafts https://www.instagram.com/p/CVGNHENgSj6/?utm_medium=tumblr
