What are you canning now?

Its really easy:

6 cups chopped apples (pretty small, but not mush)
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Juice of 1 lemon
1 package dry pectin
2 cups brown sugar
3 cups of white sugar

Boil until setting point, ladle into sterilzed jars and water bath for 10 minutes.

Mmmmm...thanks. By boil to the setting point, do I disregard sure jells direction to boil for one minute...and do the spoon drip thing?

That is fine too... Out of habit I boil mine until it hits 220 degrees which is the setting point temp for jams/jelly at sea level. But long as you follow the pectin directions you should be fine too.
 
Anyone wanna try to can me some of this?

My grandmother always made all the fruit schnapps, etc. I'm pretty sure she used sugar in her recipes though. This one doesn't call for any sugar so it may be too strong for me. I made the vodka/blueberries once.
 
Got 6 quarts and 7 pints of peaches done. Some I brandied and some have rum plus a few with plain syrup. My DH carried them all down to the cellar before I marked the glasses and now I don't know which ones are spiked (and with what) and which care plain!

I shipped my contribution to my "canning swap partner" yesterday. I wrapped it in bubble wrap for fear of breaking. Last year I shipped some my brother's favorite chutney to him and it arrived oozing out the sides of the box. So, I am extra careful now.
 
4 pints and one half pint of Plum Jelly and 3 quarts and one pint of plums in syrup, I'm going to make jam now. Im not done, I still have probably 50 or so plums... and the tree has probably twice that on it still.... then apples next week.
