My wife picked this colorful bowl of peppers. My hands started to get warm just holding it.

johnsbrewhouse You should have made one more jar, I don’t know if I like that number, especially on Friday.
calldoctoday Barely had enough to do the 13. Had I waited till today I could have done more. Fourteen would have been better, since the canner holds seven quarts at a time.

Bob Stehlik good too know. Looks like they produce a ton of green.

The canned beans look great.
I picked a 5 gallon bucket of green beans this morning and a half bucket yesterday. Seems like a bumper crop this year.

craigrice We tried it a time or two when we were a whole lot younger, just for nostalgia. I used to put a wood burning stove in every home I built for us to keep us connected to the past. I still like splitting wood for exercise, but just not much use for the wood any more it is so hot, other than what I use for smoking & having a little bonfire every Winter or Fall. It was not too bad & nice to talk about it now. Honestly don’t know if I could have kept it up all these years tough, like the old timers, in these modern days & times.

processhead Looks like you’ve got some Cayennes (best for flavor) in there & some Chilis. We got those along with Jalopolenos & my favorite, Poblanos this year. Yours look real nice. You can dry those cayennes & the chilis in the sun, the oven, or the smoker & they will keep for ages & you will always have some when you need them. If you are like us, that is a lot.

craigrice That was indeed a wonderful experience. One of my grandfathers was born in 1867 (I believe I have that right) & the other & grandmothers in 1903 or so. There were some really wonderful stories to hear from all those good folks that I cannot even come close to telling.
