It must be that time of summer...time to harvest some of the garden and canning fish. We got 15 silver salmon yesterday from a local commercial fisherman. We like to eat lots of canned salmon as sandwiches or one of our favorite is salmon quesadillas. So yesterday Steve, Ethan, and Tyler cleaned and filleted the fish and then Ann Marie and I cut it up and stuffed it in the jars. Kailee and Alyssum helped by putting the salt on top of each jar full of fish and then some minced garlic, jalapenos or chopped onion....mmmm, makes it so yummy!! Alyssum then put the lid flat on each jar while Kailee came along with the rings on her arm and screwed one on each jar. It is always so much fun when everyone can get involved in putting up food for the winter. Oh yeah, then Steve cured the eggs so that the boys could use them later for bait for fishing. So today I am sticking close to the stove to watch the canner as we can 50 pint jars of fish!
