Cans

I've been trying to get my can on for the last week or so now. It's been difficult because my apartment doesn't seem to want to go beneath 28 degrees Celsius. Processing cans becomes less fun in a sauna. To beat the heat last minute I've been turning pretty consistently to fridge pickles, fermentation, and freezing.  I've been having some lovely snacks along the way. Anything from pickled watermelon to leek confit leads to some delicious while-pickling snacking. Here's a little taste.

Likin' the window shots! What a lovely time of year... How much jam did you end with from the peaches?

about six jars (but they're small). I didn't let the jam cool a bit before canning it unfortunately, so though I did some good work, the peaches floated to the top of the cans. It's really delicious though.

I apologize for the late responses. I'm only realizing now I receive comments.
