Summer Canning Underway

Spent the better part of the day today working on some cucumbers. Put away 5 pints of sweet pickle spears and 7 quarts of sweet pickle relish. Also dehydrated 6 trays of apple slices from our backyard tree. My feet are ready for a bit of a rest for sure!

Update: Photos:

Cucumbers ready to make into relish. I use my Vitamix to make chopping a breeze:
