What are you canning now?

[KDbeads]

I didn't follow a recipe, came up with it off the top of my head

but here's what I did:
2 medium onions, copped fine in the processor and dumped in the big bowl
4 medium carrots, done the same way
I think I had 30 jalepenos and 50 habaneros, not sure but chopped up the same and tossed in the bowl
2 tbsp dried basil
2 tbsp dried oregano
3 tbsp fresh garlic
4 dried tsen-tein chillies
4 dried cayenne peppers
Buzz the last 5 things in the processor with about a cup of ACV until the dried chillies look like red pepper flakes and dump in the bowl, add 2 tsp salt and stir together. Add more ACV if needed and let marinate over night in the fridge. Hubby added some whole 'ornamental' peppers sometime during the marination, he really likes them.
Next morning heat up the mix and pack into jars adding ACV if needed. Process in hot water bath for 10 minutes.

It smells like the pepper relish they serve on roast beef sandwiches in Chicago if that helps. I can't have it, allergic to peppers, but hubby was loving it said it tastes very close to the sandwich relish.

Was in the Napa Valley this weekend teaching a canning class - can't tell you how many times I referred to this wonderful website and all the inspiration that it has given me.

While there I was able to pick about 1 1/4 pounds of Kumquats. So wondering if anyone out there has a good recipe for jam. I had it in the past and it was so good and went really well with roast chicken.

Thanks

I was on recipelion.com this morning looking at all their preserving recipes, my gosh are there hundred s of them. I came across one for caramel apple butter, and I would like to try this, but I would like to know if anyone here has ever made it ?. It sounds yummy but I hate to get apples and caramels if it's not a good combination.{ how could that be bad though, right lol]

Just did 5 quarts of pear sauce as a trial run. Went over so well the order from son and hubby was do MORE. So I got the ladder and got more pears to do more. Also got apples to make sauce out of it. But after pearing all of this stuff you really know why people started buying things at the store!

I made several quarts of this. Thanks Hillbillyhen!! It's very good and not at all too sweet. Now I went brain dead (again

) and besides some apple pie or apple turnovers what else do you all use this for? Can anyone give me a few more ideas on what else I could make with this? It's so yummy!

I must admit that I haven't canned anything in a while. But I did make 50# of smoked venison summer sausage and 15% of venison jerky. Next week I promise to do some more canning; 25# of venison. Sure is nice having canned venison ready for a quick meal. I cut it into small cubes, season and sear, pack in jars, cover with a brown gray, and then pressure cook.

Opa,, I have had several people tell me that canned venison is good. It must be because those same people have never offered any to me

I did ask DH for a pressure canner so that if and when he gets a deer then I can try my hand at making some.

I can't think of a quicker way to fix a great meal in just a few minutes. The venison is incredibly tender and in the length of time you can cook some egg noodles you can have a wonderful supper ready.
