What are you canning now?

[wyoDreamer]

I use non-iodized table salt when canning. I read/heard/was told that the iodine will give an off-taste to canned goods. I used it once for canned chicken and I thought there was a slight off taste to it - but it was my first time canning chicken and it might have been all in my mind.

I used salt water once but I decided that I like to use broth better.

As was stated preiviously, chicken in jar with liquid - no air spaces. I have only canned raw chicken, it is so good. I wanted to raise some meat birds this fall for canning; but not sure that it will happen as we have too much projects for the time left before snow falls.

Going to drag all my canning supplies out this weekend and make up some tomato soup and salsa. I need a tomato soup recipe if we have any on here. We like the campbells tomato soup but i want to make my own this year. Thank you in advance.

Anyone do spaghetti sauce from scratch .? If so would you share recipe ? Interested in the spices used . The mix is good but would like to try one from scratch .

I just remember that old song "parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme" then swap the sage for basil

Gives you the spag bog herbs.

Would love to find one like the canned soup too. Everything I've tried hasn't quite been the same and the kids just want what they are used to.

Try also adding bay leaves when simmering. Just remove before canning.

It really isn't the iodine, its the othe chemicals in the table salt that keeps it free flowing. I use strictly sea salt which has naturally occuring iodine in it and have no problems canning with it at all.

This one is delicious!!!! I'm VERY pleased with it...it's simple and the flavor is incredible. I didn't follow the exact recipe for the sugar and salt, but just added to taste.

It also makes a very pretty jar....tomato soup in the front jars, some salsa in the back.



I added half the flour and butter in those jars because I didn't feel like I had enough tomato sauce for the recipe amounts, but in the next batch I added the full amount and it looked more like the soup you get in the can...a lighter shade and thicker, creamier in texture. See the lighter pint jars on the left in the pic below...that's with the full amounts of flour and butter, the one in the middle was with half the amount of roux.

You are spot on with your comments. I found where I had read about not using table salt with iodine in it. It was in my Ball canning book and the statement is about the iodine causing pickles to turn dark and the anti-caking chemicals causing the brine to be cloudy.
