Mostly I started this because I just got a digital camera and started knitting recently.

Canning
Well I have 12 Jars of peach sauce and I have started to make apple sauce. I will have more of those, it is easier and cheaper to make. I am also done drying peaches and have started drying apples. I have a nice amount of dried peaches though.
They do kind of look like jam but they are for a peach version of apple sauce. I do use in peanut butter= sandwiches. It is just a little runny for jam.
I wish that the preserving ethic would translate its way over to the UK - you can't get drying or canning equipment for love nor money over here. Husband and I would love to be self sufficient some day so we are practicing now - we made our first quince cheese (membrillo) yesterday - an amazing transformation from yellow mush to dark purple goo, which if we can wait that long, will be incredible with cheese for christmas.
all the best
