Caning Again

The last 2 weeks I've been canning again. We had gotten the potatoes out of the garden some time ago, click here for details and although they had stayed pretty good in our basement, I knew it was time to get some canned. I can already smell the potato soup!

So, Eli thought it might be good to help out and document our canning process.
Actually he pretty much lasted till this first picture was taken, then got bored, but hey -Step One - a cute 3 year old holding a potato in front of his cute little smile, is a good start.

Next, We, well maybe I, had to wash the potatoes
and clean them (all skins removed)

Then somehow in my rush to get things done, I missed photographing the slicing and getting them ready, but here they are in the caner.
And the process that seems to take forever!
Until finally, we are ready for potato soup.
42 pints in 2 days is pretty good, at least I think so!
