Does anyone have the food strainer attachment for the kitchen aid mixer and use it for straining off the skins and seeds from cooked tomatoes and apples to make sauces? I was just wondering how it worked for you before I get the attachment? I read about it the other day on a different site and...
x2 This is the one I have and I love it.
I finally got my Honeysuckle Jam pics uploaded
Here is the Blood Orange Marmalade and Blood Orange Habanero Chili Marmalades I did this winter when the blood oranges were ripe.
Thanks that is why I would like to can meat...for quick dinners!! I have so much chicken and also muscovy duck in the freezer. We are going to make some sausage with the duck but will still have lots leftover to can.
I have a question for people who can meats at home. Does it taste like the canned meats from the store? I really can't stand the way the store canned pork, chicken, etc tastes. I would like to be able to can some meats this year but would rather have it taste like regular cooked meat than the...
I made Honeysuckle jelly the other day. I used the recipe from the Lehman's web site. It turned out really good. It tastes like honey with some lemon tea syrup added to it! I am planning on putting some in my iced tea. We have so much wild honeysuckle out there blooming it seems sad not to use...
I found a neat article on why the Real Lemon juice brand is recommended by the USDA for canning versus using your own lemons or those lemons from the grocery store produce section.
It also discusses the acidity of different varieties of lemons and how environment plays a role in how acid the...
The honeysuckle out in the woods has started to bloom. I have heard of honeysuckle jelly before but never tried it. Is it worth making? Does anyone have a good recipe?
Just a warning on the Habanero Blood Orange Chili Marmalade. It gets much hotter the longer it sits especially if you leave the seeds in. My dh just ate some with his breakfast the other day and loved it but said it sure got a lot hotter since he tried it when we first made it. For him, that's...
Sounds yummy. I have a couple little Meyer Lemon trees. I just love the Meyer lemons they are so juicy! I would grow those trees even without fruits because they bloom througout the year and the flowers are pretty (white and pinkish purple) and smell as good as the best jasmine!! I put one on...
Does anyone here have well water? I was wondering, last time I used filtered water for canning process. This time when I made marmalade I did not. I had some discolored yellowish cast on the outside (only) of the jars and it washed right off. Is there something safe that I could add to the water...
I got the recipe from this website. I just substituted the blood oranges for the regular. Its the first time I've tried the recipe but I snuck a little taste when I was cooking it up and it was good! I also put in some cajun spice seasoning in it and left out the ginger I like ginger- but only...
I just finished a batch of Blood Orange Marmalade. I got to use a few blood oranges from my small tree but had to buy the rest of the blood oranges from the store. lol. I'll be glad when it gets bigger. Then did Blood Orange Habanaro Chile Marmalade for dh.

Thank you I will relay this info to him.
I finally ordered a pressure canner. I got an All American. I am really excited! I want to make soups and sauces this fall
Okay maybe you canning gurus can answer this question for me:
A friend asked me if he could use previously frozen and/or canned vegetables or fruits to make into something else like soups or salsas and re-can it?
I didn't know what to tell him. I have looked online for the answer and can't seem...
I have the LSU purple fig. It is awesome and has berry like undertones. Since it was developed by Louisiana State Univ. it does great in the heat and humidity we have in FL as well. It does not have a super tight eye but I haven't had the rot problems yet. I have only had the chickens and...
