What Have You Put Up 2010
Comments (106)Annie, I'm sure the wedding was a huge hit, especially the hab gold cheescakes! Meanshile, I FINALLY canned this year! Woo hoo! Better yet, I spread the canning virus---made 8 half-pints of strawberry jam with a friend who'd never canned before. Bought the strawberries from the farmer same day, and boy did it turn out well. The set is a little soft (we used a recipe from the Bernardin book that calls for cooking up whole apples w/ the pith of a lemon rather than using commercial pectin or going for the long boil), but it's still quite spreadable and VERY yummy. I definitely made a new canning convert. And I'm excited that I'll have a canning buddy nearby for those marathon sessions of tomato or peach peeling! I've had a CRAZY spring work-wise, on the road a lot, didn't even start any tomato seedlings (for each of the past 10 years I've started at least a hundred). But I bought some and was kindly given some and FINALLY got the last of them into the ground, so hopefully there will be some tomato canning, even though some of the harvest will be late. It felt so good to spend all of yesterday in the garden and the canning kitchen! Z...See MoreWhat have you put up in 2014?

Comments (142)Hello Lissa, Welcome to the forum. I think you'll like it here. I hope your family's pressure canner is usable. Most pressure canners have long, long lives. It's just a matter of checking and sometimes replacing an inexpensive part or two, as long as it's a common brand. I included a link to Bejay's earlier post. She was asking about citrus pectin, but I provided a comparison to apple pectin, which is more common. Certainly you can make your own. Apples are easily available and make excellent pectin stock. Some people make a strong stock; some make apple jelly, which can then be used as regular jelly or can be used with other fruits to help them jell. If you look around the forum you'll find lots of interesting threads. When you have a question, just ask away.

Comments (48)I'm almost scared to post what crazy things I did this year. ;) I canned: 400 Quarts of Peaches 400 Quarts of Pears 70+ Quarts of Dill Pickles (No one even waits for the 6 weeks to be over before they start eating them) 35 Quarts of Bread and Butter Pickles (My cukes went nuts and I was desperate to find more recipes) 13 Quarts of Tri Pickles 10 Quarts of Tangy Dill Relish (Careful with the food coloring. Oopps) 150 Quarts of Pickled Beets 60 Quarts of Chicken Stock 60 Quarts of Stew 24 Quarts of Pasta Sauce with Meat 12 Pints of Peach, Pear and Apple Butters 6 Quarts Blueberry Syrup 60 Quarts of Corn 40 Pints of Peas 50 Pints of Beans 60 Chickens in the Freezer 2013 was first year gardening and pressure canning.... and I have a market size garden... and it seems nothing I planted failed... thought I'd never get done.. :) My husband works out of town and lives in his trailer and I have 2 sons with their girlfriends, my parents and of course us... totally covered for 5 months worth of preserves and all my hubby's foods were done and ready to eat. Took me 2 months of canning after work (I hardly slept) but I'm pretty pleased with my results and loving this life. :D What was shocking is once I divided it all up about 800 jars left my kitchen and I wasn't left with all the much. :) But that's okay... keeping my kids fed and healthy is the goal... but next season THEY WILL BE HERE HELPING MOMMA WITH THE PRESERVING. LOL PS Spending the winter catching up on my sleep!!! ;) This post was edited by diane5770 on Sun, Jan 5, 14 at 0:41...See Moreparty_music50
