The Hale Family: Canning ...

Canning ...

September 25, 2009

I ordered some Utah peaches and tomatoes. They were to die for. We ate most of them fresh and then ordered more! Yum! The second shipment was for us to can. Yep, I decided to try canning. Go me. Brynn was my peach peeler. The skins just rub off after blanching, so she thought it was great fun.

Yes, she's wearing a cape, or dish towel, which ever you like.
Here is the finished product on the peaches. Gorgeous!!!

I, however, have decided I would rather eat them fresh.

Here are the tomatoes and fresh salsa we canned. The salsa lasted like a month. Man, we can really go through salsa! Ariba!

I grew up in Mesa AZ and Joe in Farmington UT. I knew Joseph's uncle and grandma in Mesa and between the two of them they were bound and determined to set me up with Joseph who was "also a singer and would be perfect for me". The only problem was that he lived in Utah. Soon after, I left for BYU and ended up meeting him at callbacks for The Young Ambassadors. That next year we ended up as dance partners in Young Ambassadors. We became best friends, but dated other people until we finally got it together and started dating each other. We were engaged in Singapore on tour, and married 3 months later. We left for rehearsals 3 weeks later and worked on Holland America Cruise Line as guest entertainers for a year. We traveled to Hawaii, Mexico and Alaska. We went back to BYU for our final year of school and graduated with degrees in Music Dance Theater. Princess Cruise Line hired us as guest entertainers and we traveled for 6 months with them to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. We then decided to move to New York where we lived for a year and performed in 2 tours. One day Joe woke up and told me he was going to be a dentist, so we changed gears. We have two amazing children, Brynnley and Jaden, who keep us as crazy as everyone else on this journey of parenthood. Wouldn't change a thing! Here we are finished with dental school and on to "real" life in Arizona. We have had an amazing journey in these 12 years, and it's only going to get better!!
