The asparagus sweatshop

A friend and I really enjoy canning, this is another late night activity of ours. We can Pickeled asparagus, her grandma's recipe.


Everyone at my work LOVES it and asks for jars, so I knew when we started we would need a lot! I don't know how may pounds we bought but between the two of us we had about 25 bundels or $80 worth the asparagus!We ran out of vinegar and had to run to the grocery store, so on our way out I gave Momma some hugs....she likes to hug back.

As the night went we got a little goofier, really feeling like sweat shop workers, canning is a very warm long process.

Yes, this is a mirror image of the kitchen you saw in previous pictures, my friend Laura is also my neighbor and we had to use her kitchen too to make the pickeling sauce because our canning pots were sooooo big we had no room on my stove top.

And the completed project, a total of 45 jars!

Hi Chelsea,

I just discovered the link to your blog on Gary & Margo's. You're doing a great job with it!!! It is fun to see what you and Adam are doing. That asparagus project was something else! Good for you!

Reading all you're doing actually made me kind of tired - I'm old, you know!

Love to you and Adam,

Aunt Janet
