Canning

Mike has been canning the past two weekends, and I have to say that A) it's really impressive for what he was able to accomplish for his first attempt, and B) we are both still zombies from sleepless baby nights and I have no idea how he had the energy to do this.  

He canned several different kinds of pickles, cherries, and of course apricots like his family used to do growing up.  Then yesterday he also did strawberry freezer jam (not pictured), just like MY family always used to have growing up.

Mike is a fantastic chef, every night at dinner I'm so glad I married him (like tonight while eating duck with apricots and garlic, with a side of homemade fries cooked in duck fat.  Ooof.).
