26 Is My Magic Number

Canning and freezing was pretty sparse for me this year. My garden was for immediate consumption only. I keep a mental number of putting up 26 quarts as a minimum for my family's eating. That would make a quart of corn, a quart of beans, a quart of applesauce, etc... for every 2 weeks in the year. Of course, the aim is above that for company and church dinners, but 26 is my mental minimum.

We have been able to can applesauce these past few days. I haven't made it to 26 quarts yet.
We also tried grape juice for the first time. When the jars were counted, there were 26 quarts!
