Two months later ...

23 quarts applesauce
17 quarts pears
16 quarts peaches
3 quarts apples
26 half-pint chili sauce
8 pints pear jam
9 pints pear butter
9 pints grape jelly

The problem with doing your own canning is now that it's done I don't want anyone to eat it because it took so blasted long! I'm so excited to be done I could scream!
