What are you canning now?

[Happy Chooks]

I made 6 pints of tropical sauce last weekend. (plum, apricot, mango, pineapple) Today, I'm hoping to get the remaining pluot halves canned. Then I need to work on peaches and pears. Nectarines are ripening fast too.

The past two weeks I have canned 14 pints sliced carrots, 24 quarts bread & butter pickles, 19 quarts hamburger dills, 14 quarts dill spears, 14 quarts potatoes, 47 quarts green beans, and 49 pints chicken.
 I also froze 25 bags diced, 14 bags sliced, and 13 bags halves of bell peppers, 43 bags corn cut off the cob, 16 bags of diced onions, and 18 bags of peas.

 In the days to come, I will be freezing more corn, peas, and lima beans, and canning lots of tomatoes, as well as mixed vegetables.

Goodness gracious!!! How big is your family???

Does anyone have a good salsa recipe?

Has anyone ever made Salsa and added Peaches to it? I heard its really good but no one seems to ever have a recipe for it? Do you just follow a reg salsa recipe and add peaches?

Also Happy Chooks how did you make you jalapeno dill pickles? I think my other half would love them!

Two of us, my 14 Y/O son and I. Canned foods will keep for several years, and I don't always plant the same produce every year, such as cucumbers. Besides that a 14 y/o boy can really eat.
For instance, when I make spaghetti, I use 2 LB ground beef, and 2 lb spaghetti, with 2 quarts spaghetti sauce and there is never any waste. (this is eaten within 24 hours, 36 at the very most.)
