I thought it might be kind of fun to share photos of the food we’ve put up for the winter.  Or, at least a portion of it.  If you and your family have done a good job putting up food for this winter take a quick snap shot and send it to me at mattamayer at gmail dot com and I’ll get a slideshow put up in our Hen and Harvest photo.  Please use the subject line “Hen and Harvest picture” so gmail will compile them for me.

The picture below is what I could fit into our cabinet upstairs in my kitchen.  I left most of the jams, jellies and pickles downstairs, as well as the potatoes, sweet potatoes, squashes and pumpkins.  Unfortunately it’s too dark in the basement to provide much of a picture or I would snap one down there.

I didn’t think it was that big of a deal until this weekend when a friend came over, spent some time studying the cabinet and then declared that she was embarrassed by her level of canning.  She then spent Sunday canning what she could. 

So, send me your pictures and we’ll get a neat collage of what people have saved from all across the country.
