What are you canning now?

Oooooh... LILAC!!!!

Not a big grower in the south for those I'm afraid, but I grew up with it, and loved it so much... I wear lilac oil extract as perfume

I bet it would be yummy!

didn't know lilacs were edible! We just always use them for decoration day...which for most places is this weekend...and all this rain has ruined the lilacs! ugh

I canned cabbage soup and strawberry jam yesterday. Canning bean soup today.

I use the dried bean soup you can buy at the grocery store...I can't remember the brand and I just burnt the trash! (kick me if you will) It is the cajun flavored and I find it right next to the dried beans and rice...I add some of my home canned rotel tomatoes to it and some onions. I haven't ever added meat but you can if you want to. I make 2 packages at a time. It is really tasty! I pressure it for 60 minutes for pints and 75 for quarts at 10lbs pressure.

I couldn't wait to break out the kimchi. Not the best I've ever had but the best I've ever made. Ended up eating a whole pint for my lunch today. I doubt I have to worry about anybody staying in my office too long this afternoon.

no but it is pretty much the same as canning dried beans- The soup is just a bunch of different dried beans together- you soak, cook, and can. There is a flavor packaging with it, but you could use own own ingrdients.

I don't hardly ever follow recipes (ingredient wise) when canning anyway-especially with sauces.
