Hmm, you know I don’t remember what way I did it! I think in this case I would have added them to the boiling water, as that’s how I blanch most veggies. It might bet the type of potatoes though. I find […]

Canned up all of my pumpkins. I got 16 quarts and 9 pints. Already made a few things with it. Nice flavor. I will grow these again.

I quartered the potatoes and I did use fresh water. When you boil the potatoes are you putting the potatoes into boiling water or are you putting the potatoes into the water before you bring it to a boil? I put […]

Wendy, I’ve canned potatoes a few times and they kept their shape ok. I’m wondering if you cut them to small or cooked them to long before canning? I pealed them, and cut into 1/2 inch to 1 inch cubes, then […]

I finally got a pressure canner. It was given to me about 4 months ago. so far I have canned chicken, fruit coctail, cinnamon pears, grape & cherry jam, and Strawberry & Cherry jam. I bought a bushel of johnathan apples and will be getting them canned, along with the few tomatoes that actually grew this year.
-
Lucky you getting fresh apples!!!
-
I’m thinking about getting some more, if they still have any of them. canned apple pie filling is sounding yummy for mid winter

grrrr, after paying almost 10 dollars a dozen for canning jars all summer, I found an Amish store that sells them for 4.00 a case.
Oh well, live and learn, I will be picking up some serious jarage in a couple of weeks. I have been allowing myself 20.00 a month for jars, this month, I will have loads of them to get filled up.
Look out loft, your…[Read more]

plus some small batch…[Read more] -

Wondering if anyone has a measurement system I could used for refrigerator pickles or something like that? I have only enough cucumbers in my garden for one jar of pickles and wanted to just make them and leave them in the frig…not enough to can. Would appreciate any help you could offer. Would need to do them by tomorrow at the…[Read more]

I have two recipes for freezer pickles if they would help? I can try and find them for you. Another idea would be to take a normal pickle recipe and divide the brine by the number of jars the recipe gives. That should give you an aprox. amount of liquid to mix up. Prepare the pickles as you normally would but put them in the fridge.

It’s time for canning!! So far 7 quarts of whole tomatoes, 14 pints of Kim’s recipe for bread and butter pickles, 7 pints of zucchini bread and butters, 35 1/2-pints of pizza sauce and 30 pints of peaches. Also froze a whole bunch of zucchini, shredded and in 2 cup baggies. So how are all of you doing? Thinking about corn products now. …[Read more]

Lots of stuff at the local farmer’s market last night, but expensive! $2 per pound of green or yellow beans. Woodman’s has them for 88 cents per pound right now. Tomatoes were $5 for 3… corn was $5/dozen

I canned a batch of Loquats on Sunday… added zero sugar so we’ll see how I like them in the winter! Next batch I’ll make regular jam because I’ve never tried it… this is the first year my trees have produced enough to eat fresh and can. I doubt they can be dehydrated… they are a very juicy fruit that browns easily. If you look at the…[Read more]

Today I opened up some of my dehydrated figs… still as tasty as they were when I dried them last summer! I need to eat all these up before the fresh ones are ready!

Question: when canning chili, can I use my own recipe, or must I follow one in a canning book? I guess this goes for soups and salsas also?
-
No you can use your own recipes. Just process the proper amount of time. Process for the time for the longest ingredient. For example if you put meat in your chili, process the 75 minutes it says in the canning book. Sounds like you are really busy!! Good for you!!
-
Yes you can use your own recipes. Like @columbine53 said just process it for the ingredient with the longest time needed.
But remember that pasta, rice, flour and dairy products are on the not safe to can, on the canning standards list. So if you soups have them just leave them out and add when you open the jar to cook it.

Day 2 of sprouting buckwheat! I can’t get enough from seeing God’s power in watching these little guys/gals grow!!
-
What are you using sprouted buckwheat for?
-
I don’t have a dehydrator yet so I toasted them! I am going to put them in my granola tomorrow! I tried them today after toasting them and wow they were awesome!
-
I have also sprouted mung beans, we just eat them raw or you can put them in stir fry! Next time I think I am gonna try quinoa. I have no idea what to do with those though LOL!
