What are you canning now?

[mickey328]

Looks like I was wrong...and I'm so glad I was!

I visited pickyourown website and I am going to try to halve the batch with half the amount of white sugar and brown sugar while using the low/no sugar pectin. I can always re cook it so I'm not a nervous, lol. It's been a while since I've been to that site. It gave me confidence again.

I love seeing what everyone is canning. Sounds so yummy, and gives me more ideas. I'm already planning my garden for Spring...

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

I was going to do collards/kale/mustard greens, but the "girls" ate em all!

They dont call them garden piranha for nothing!

I canned 14 pints of collards. Called for 70 min at 10# so I added a piece of bacon and did 75 min. The left overs were done way before the canning process, and were SO GOOD. Will they be mushy or great? Has anyone on here canned collards? Most things in the south are cooked to death anyway but will it be too much. I had to try, Collards are so cheap this time of year. They love a frost, it makes them sweet. We got 40 pounds for $10.00! Hope they are good.

Yes, I have canned collards and mixed greens and turnips. I didn't use any lemon juice with the turnips, they turned a little, but were still good. Collards and greens were both very good, not mushy at all. They are so easy to grow and are so prolific I had to can them.

One pot of caramel apple jam and another of apple cranberry on the stove simmering.

In the past we have done applesauce, nectarines, and okra. A couple days ago we canned some strawberry preserves!

Yes the collards turned out very good. I would like to do more but it is time consuming. I have more apples to do, if the weather holds I'll be able to do more.

This last week I have canned 21 quarts of venison.

I have done 21 pints of sauerkraut and 11 pints of venison in the last 2 weeks and will be doing 6-7 pints of kimchi in the next day or so.

I pressure cooked a whole chicken with some veggie ends last night and strained the prettiest golden broth into a bowl in the sink. As I turned away to get my pressure canner out, my honey washed his hands in the sink, over my bowl of broth

. I didn't make too big a deal about it cause he felt sooo bad, but man it was the perfect pretty color!

So, today is 7 quarts of chili with ground beef and pinto beans.
