No canning....but, cleaning up the free jars. Now THAT lead to how many jars do I have
. Once I got a pretty close count (400 ish) I went to, darn -- how many lids???
While I'm good plus for these to fill...only 1/2 way to cover all for next yr. Guess I'll buy a few more.
. Certain not all jars of canned food will be eaten but, doughtful for next yr supply on shelf of supplies. Bad place to be thinking that far out for such a thing.

Local grocery having a big sale on potatoes later this week. Guess what the wife asked if "we" could put up Saturday? 
Today I’m putting up vinegar jalapeños, cranberries, and possibly apple butter. Because I usually have vinegar left over after the jalapeños I’m thinking about doing a jar of sliced onion covered in the remaining vinegar. See what happens. I’m also wondering about putting up candied orange peels. But I can’t find a recipe I like, all I can find is marmalade. Could I just put a simple syrup over cleaned and diced orange peel and water bath it? Would that work?

Only candied orange peels Ive had is where you boil them for so long in syrup then pull them out and bake them on low for so long. Then they go in a sealed tub or jar.
I'd have to go looking. Mom is the one who makes them for snacking on. I found the recipe for her years ago.

Cut the peel in quarters and boil until tender. Then scrape off the white stuff, cut in strips and simmer in heavy syrup. Take the strips, roll in sugar and place on wax paper to let them dry. By the time they are dry, you will have eaten them all.

Take the leftover orange syrup and can sliced jalapenos.

. I went a couple yrs not gardening or canning. When I packed jars I labeled box with content by count. So it wasn't but the now loose ones I had to do a lot more than check labels. Not bad.
. Just wanted to stop buying. OR get what needed!I'm feeling settled. Sorta.
. Gotta be a stop point??
