Being that it was BRUTALLY hot on Sunday. What better way to cool down then to have several boiling pots on the stove..
Spent a great deal of time canning on Sunday.
Figs were on sale so I started by canning a batch of fig jam for the first time.
GEEEEZE! those little things are a pain to peel! Peeling them took the better part of an hour, but the results were great. Fig jam is great on crackers as part of an antipasto. Yum!
After cleaning up everything from making jam, I turned my attention to the cucumbers that were just picked.
The mandolin that I have slices the pickles too thin, so I like to hand slice them. Although a little more time consuming, I prefer the results.
I use MRS Wages bread and butter mix. All you do is add sugar and vinegar, and heat. I have been using it for several years and simply love them.

After cleaning (AGAIN) I noticed that my cherry pepper plants had several nice, ripe peppers. I ended up making 2 quarts of pickled peppers.
After cleaning yet again, I turned my attention toward dinner. Here is a pic...
