Cold Storage

These yukon gold potatoes are all we have left in our cold storage room. We have also been hungrily eating from our supply of cold-storage, canned, and frozen garden produce.  It is so good to have a taste of summer. Our garden was small but productive. The following is a list of produce I put up from our garden, a local strawberry patch, a work garden, and our parents apple trees.

 2009 

2 quarts peas, frozen

1 pint rhubarb, frozen

14 quarts strawberries, frozen

 1 quart spinach, frozen

 2 quart raspberries, frozen

 5 quart green beans, frozen

 2 quart snap peas, frozen

 2 quart cherry tomatoes, frozen

 12 pints corn, off the cob, frozen

 9 ears corn, on the cob, frozen

 2 quarts carrots, frozen

 1 large box red potatoes, cold-storage

1 large box yukon gold potaotes, cold-storage

7 pints salsa, canned

32 quarts apple juice, steamed and canned

4 quarts refrigerator pickles

7 quarts dill pickles, canned

10 quarts whole tomatoes, canned

7 pints tomato sauce, canned
1 bag onions
1 handful garlic
1 quart dried oregano
1 quart dried parsley
1 gallon bag apple fruit leather, frozen

It was an exhausting fall, putting up all that food, but it sure tastes good now.  I am looking forward to next years garden.  The produce I put up is good, but I miss the fresh lettuce, garden peas, and sun-warmed tomatoes.
