RanchHand - I certainly agree with the pickles! I just don't know how everything will "hold up" while being canned for an extended period of time. I just imagine somethings coming out gross and squishy, even though I know (for the most part) they wont!

Chicken Stalker - Thank you so much! I can't wait to check it out!

I had never canned ANYTHING until this last fall, then my concord grapevine put out its first harvest (small though) and I started with one jar of the best grape jelly. Then it just snawballed from there. We live across the street from an apple orchard, so I put up 15 quarts of applesauce (different flavors, strawberry, raspberry and plain), 8 pints of applebutter (hadn't ever even had it before), 12 quarts of apple pie filling and about 5 pints of raspberry jam/jelly. My inlaws grow raspberries, so I lucked out there!
Hopefully this year we'll get more than a handful of blackberries from that new vine and I had planted some other kind of berry, but for the life of me I can't think of what it is now. Maybe boysenberry?
I've already ordered 50 strawberry plants from Gurneys (don't tell my hubby!)

by far the best thing to can is home-made vegie soup.we put up about 40 quarts last summer.nothing better in the winter than to buy some ground beef,brown it and pour in a couple of quarts of soup

i looked the other day and i am down to 5 quarts

That does sound like the perfect idea! Thank you for the thought, that will certainly be on my list now!

I'm pretty new at canning myself, but this past fall/winter I learned how to can venison with my Grandma's help, chicken soup, and red pepper and garlic jelly - tastes like sweet & sour sauce! My mother-in-law got me the fantastic "Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving".
