Started off the day by vac bagging 6 pints of chopped sweet peppers, 1
pint of okra, and 2 quarts of blueberries. All frozen overnight in the
big freezer. Topped it off by canning 6 pints of purple hull peas that
DW bought at the farmers market yesterday. Yesterday DW put up 6 pints
of raspberry fig jam, made with raspberry Jello of course, ala the
sixties craze for strawberry fig jam. Did I mention I despise
strawberries, insipid tasting things.
People, I have one case of 8 ounce jelly jars left, plus a half case of
4 ounce jars. Otherwise I have 2 empty quart jars lying around. Can you
see that we are prepared for another big hurricane. If we run this year
all this stuff is going with us as is the contents of the freezer which
is full of frozen peppers, greens, several pans of moussaka(eggplant
casserole) and assorted other garden truck. I ain't leaving nothing
behind this next time. Of course we fervently hope and pray there won't
be another hurricane in our lifetimes. Oh yeah, I ain't buying no more
jars unless I run up on a deal on ripe fruit. <BSEG>
I wish all are well on this sweltering day in SW LA.

number of years.

It's Jello brand and I found it at our local Kroger's supermarket. Had
to really hunt for it and there were only the two packages I needed.
Plenty of Kroger brand sugar free raspberry, which I like on occasion,
but the wife wanted the one that takes sugar. I don't eat a lot of
jello, don't eat anything more nervous than you are is my motto. Another
food motto is "don't eat anything green you find in the refrigerator."
