I made a boneless pork loin glazed with pincherry jelly. Wow was that good! And we had Will&#8217;s cheesecake, pumpkin pies, garlic mashed potatoes (that have 8 oz. of cream cheese, a cup of sour cream and a 1\/4 pound of butter whipped with them, plus 1\/2 tsp. of garlic salt, then baked) plus a green bean casserole (our Provider green beans of course!), candied carrots (big Nantes chunks from the pantry) and tons of snack goodies. Whew!<\/p>\n<p>Now I can get started at canning up lots of meats from the leftover pork loin, chicken, and beef. Cool.<\/p>\n<p>And we&#8217;re plenty busy too with our little seed business, Seed Treasures (see new box above blog), packing and shipping seeds. It&#8217;s really fun to be sharing seeds with so many different people!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ava-Spencer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ava-Spencer.jpg\" alt=\"Ava-Spencer\" width=\"446\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ava-Spencer.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ava-Spencer-426x420.jpg 426w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Ava-Spencer-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWe&#8217;re looking back on all we&#8217;ve accomplished during the past year and we&#8217;re so excited about the New Year coming soon and all our plans for spring.
