| I'm off to a slow start January - 8 jars total cranberry applesauce - 3 quarts I recently got 10 lbs of beans on sale. Need to find the time to cook them up and can them. |
|
| Orange marmalade, but I didn't cook the peels long enough - 8 1/2 pint jars Grapefruit chutney - 6 1/2 pint jars Kumquats - 3 1/2 pint jars Apple/onion preserves - 2 quart jars red cabbage - 4 quart jars beets - 9 1/2 pint jars pickled pears - 6 pint jars pickled crabapples - 3- 1/2 pint, 2 pint jars (I bought these as crabapples, but I think they're lady apples. Too big and sweet to really be crabapples. They don't grow here and usually aren't in the stores, so I think the store didn't know what they had, and I'm not sure either!) |

| I've made two batches of sauerkraut. Approx 15 quarts. Also about 5 pints of fermented hot sauce which has been declared awesome by my daughter's boyfriend. I'm pleased with it. I tried Brokenbar's dried tomatoes. The fan motor broke after a few hours so I had to put the tomatoes in the freezer until it was replaced. Finished them today. I may have erred on the side of too dry but I dipped in vinegar, covered with oil and put it in the fridge. Some dehydrated orange zest and about 10 quarts of OJ in the freezer. Time to take care of the lemons and limes now. |

| I have done Mango Lime Marmalade, Seville Orange Marmalade with Scotch and Whiskey Marmalade. But the big story is my discovery of Meyer Lemons at the local Costco (my dentist found them and notified me - I call this a conflict of interest but am grateful nonetheless). I blame you all for your endless praises of the world famous but seldom seen Meyer Lemon. Having made a test batch, I now firmly believe that the divine purpose of Meyer Lemons is to give their little lives to Marmalade. Holy schneikies - it's good. |
|
| I did 78 pints of pears...I bought 2 huge boxes at a public market for $1 It was my first time canning anything. I hope they don't go bad. |
|
| Last year was a thin year for canning LOL but this year is finally off to a good start with 3 pints of pear preserves in ginger syrup!! Yay for me! Next is boysenberry season, then peach season. I am suddenly in the mood to make jam :) |

| Could you please share the recipe for Banana Split Jam? I'll bet my kids love it. As for me, I haven't gotten started yet but I plan on emptying my freezer of rhubarb (the plants were more productive than I could keep up with last year) and making a few batches of Victorian BBQ sauce. Family loves it! |

| I dehydrate stuff instead of canning. So far this year I have dehydrated about 20# of apples, 20# of banana chips, 10# of beef as jerky for my son, 6# of green beans, potatoes (1 quart and one pint finished, don't recall how much before dry), 3# corn, 6# mixed veggies, 2# peas, can of pineapple (needed the juice to dip apples), sweet potatoes, zuchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, cauliflower, and about 15# of tomatoes. Oh and I made banana/apple fruit leather. Most of it, except for the mixed veg and peas, have been eaten already. I can't keep up with demand and I need a larger dehydrator. We like crunchy snacks so most of it we use in place of unhealthy chips. If you have never tried dehydrated tomato slices on a sandwich, you should. The flavor is intense, and no mess. |
|
| Today is canning mushrooms. Got a great buy on bulk button mushrooms so 20 1/2 in the PC pints as we speak. Dave |
|
| 16 pints canned carrots 24 pints canned dried beans 12 1/2 pints frozen walnuts 5 pounds frozen Morel Mushrooms 24 pints canned asparagus 17 pints canned grapefruit sections 4 quarts canned rhubarb 1 pint canned rhubarb 12 quarts frozen asparagus spears table style="width:auto;"> |

It's fruit season at my parent's winery so I'm fortunate to get lots of fruit from them, glad I have two freezers to freeze this stuff until it calms down! Picking wild grapes right now, blackberries next week, so will be keeping some of both to freeze for canning later. We also made 10 gallons of blackberry grape wine, at home does that count. lol? |

| I haven't canned anything yet but I have "put up" in the freezer 32 quarts of green beans, 5 quarts of squash (all I got before the bugs moved in), 4 quarts of eggplant (just really started producing) and my first few Roma tomatoes. Soon I'll have about 200 more tomatoes to do -- waiting, waiting, waiting! I was going to the farmers' market for a bushel of okra this weekend but decided since it's supposed to be 105+ for the next week that I'll wait for cooler weather! |
