Rainbow of Jars

I thought it would be fun to set out all the jars I had canned this summer.  Well, one of each at least.

They made a beautiful rainbow of preserves.  The only one I had to double up on was the plum preserves on the left (because I’m a sucker for symmetry).  Then comes the applesauce, canned peaches, peach vanilla syrup, dandelion jelly, pickles, refrigerator pickles, triple berry syrup, and blueberries.

I also canned elderberry syrup/jelly since then as well.  It would land on the purple end.  Usually I keep my jars tucked away  from sunlight in a cupboard, but it was fun to pull them all out to look at their colors together.

Real food is colorful!
