@rancher hicks That looks awesome. However it is more work than I can do. I no longer even plant a garden. I just go down the road to Magicland and get my produce. I even mentioned to them that I sure would like it if they would plant some collards. They didn't know what that was

@jomoncon I am just a bit jealous that you have purple hull peas The growing season here is too short for any of the really good stuff.

I am running low on jars, I have another 1/2 bushel of green beans on order for Thursday and I am doing more pickles today :)

Congrats! Today I did 22 pints of green beans [now I have 63 pints done], 7 pints of sweet chip pickles and 6 quarts of dill pickles. And made a cherry crisp for dessert

Thanks. I was doing some research on it too and I think maybe I will toss it.

Oh WOW! I will be heading to South Carolina next week so hopefully I can get some then. I was lucky enough to get some canning tomatoes from the local farm stand and just put the last batch in the canner. I was worried that I would not be able to get any before I left for my trip. Also...

I would like to try the orange scented applesauce too. Sounds interesting. I have a recipe for Jack Daniels apple butter, my favorite. I will try to post later when my work is done. I have to look through my recipes to find it.

Oh my!! That made me tired just reading about it!

Mind didn't to well either.. oh wait... I didn't plant anything. I got mine at the local farmstand. They were selling them 40 for $4. Those pickles look great. So does all of the jams. I wish I could get muscadines here. I got 8 more quarts of dill pickles done and 7 more pints of sweet chip...

Those look like the ones I made last night. I made 6 & 1/2 pints of sweet chip pickles and 8 & 1/2 quarts of dill pickles.

Looks good! What recipe are you using? I did 6 &1/2 quarts of dill pickles last night and I have a gallon of sliced pickles in brine to make more sweet chip pickles.

Have you tried craigs list or goodwill/thrift stores? I would recommend getting the Ball Blue Book on canning. It's a great help for beginners. I had a friend show me how to can tomatoes 20 some years ago and that was a great help to me. I just started with jams and such in the last 10 years or...

Thanks Nova I know I read about it somewhere and I am trying it today. Just put 6 quarts in the oven. I left the other 1 & a half in the pantry as I am sure it will get used before it goes bad.

What can I say...we love blueberries. I got 42 pints put in the freezer.

Seems like I remember reading on here that you can can flour and dry goods. Can you do that with pancake mix? I just bought a 10 lb bag of krusteez and since it's just DH and I, I want to either freeze it or if possible, can it. I am running out of room in the freezer.

DH and I picked 32 lbs of blueberries this morning. Last week I picked 18 lbs but used most of that for jam and syrup. I think I am going to put what we got today in the freezer.
