What are you canning now?

Ok, don't laugh, but I put your picture as my computer background as inspiration. I have to tell myself, this is what I want my utility room to look like, so I have to do the work to get there.
thank you!!!

No it is not hot - just that real nice balance of sweet and hot - just right.

I want to try the other recipe for Apple Jalapeno.

Any particular apple to use? We have green ones in orchard right now and guess they are either granny smith, Macintosh or Fuji. I have to look at the tag.

Going to try and make some tonight.

In 8 days I have canned (the first 3 were from lat weekend, all others from the past 2 days, but for monetary purposes I put it all together in one list for 8 days)):

12- 1/2 pts peach jam+ 24 oz in the fridge
6- 1/2 pts peach butter
5- 24oz sliced peaches
7- qts peach slices
5- 1/2pts peach puree
2 -pts peach puree
11- pts turnips
7- qts grape juice.....

Tomorrow I'll have the peach pit jelly done, if I don't decide to go ahead & do it today. Total cost...... Around $55 for 58 jars- SO FAR!!! (if you divide the peach jam in the 24oz jar into 3- 8 oz jars like the others)

I figure after tomorrow or later, I'll be adding another 5 or 6 jars of the peach pit.

I think mine are Mac's. The tree was here when we bought the house 7 years ago. They are a tart, crip apple....a little sweeter than a Granny but just as crisp.

Oooooo so pretty I love the color of them. I love beets, husband on the other hand does not. So have to convince him to put in more next year so I can do a bunch like you. Did you pickle them or do plain?

My vanillia extract is coming along very nicely. Starting to take on a deeper color. I put 10 beans into a 1.75 ltr vodka bottle.

I am, however, having a hard time keeping my DH from taking a swig when I'm not looking! I must admit it smells wonderful. I'll be hiding the bottle somewhere else now

I got lucky and found 6 beautiful bottles at the local Agway with those great rubber gasket closers. I'll be making some labels and hope they're ready by Christmas! How are all you guys making out with your vanilla extract?
