Food processing and summer abundance

With the abundance of a garden and fruit this summer we had to process (and are in the process of processing!) so much food. How lucky we are to have had so much allotted to us this year... and a small reward for the toils of hard work too. But this is a tremendous amount of work as we spent all day in the kitchen without even eating all that much yesterday. Some exploits from the summer not already mentioned: MORE pickles, pear sauce, dehydrated pears, salsa, prunes
