What are you canning now?

[ducksanddoxies]

Yeah but you have to cook them a long time. The older they get the tougher. I've experience with these animals. This is an old picture. I wish I could bottle his energy. This kid has more than any normal kid.

Lol! What a cutie!

I think I've just lost my newbie canner status.

Today I canned Cowboy Candy, Tomato Basil Jam, Salsa, Kosher Dill Pickles, and Green Tomato Salsa Verde.

I'm exhausted, but at the same time I feel so empowered!

Last night I boiled and shredded a chicken, froze the meat used the broth for a couple of soups. Corn chowder in one crockpot and hibachi onion soup in the other. Those are frozen now too.

Would like to make some egg free own ton wrappers to freeze as well, but that's gonna have to be another day!

Well I was informed that that cutie was sick for a while and now asks for toast with Grampas jam on it. When he was here last he liked to eat Grampas eggs.

I had complained the last time I was down to TX cuz I'd sent jam I'd made and no one was eating it. My SIL is already an old curmudgeon, in that being from England will only eat Marmalade. Lord help me not to become a curmudgeon.

What is cowboy candy?

I used to make Cowboy Caviar sometimes from Betty Crocker. It's chickpeas, a sweet red pepper, a jalepeño, oil and vinegar and salt and pepper. You allow it to sit overnight before serving. I wonder if that could be canned.

Today's canner load:

5 12 oz Sweet Michigan Cerries & Almond Jam

2 12oz + 6oz Tart Blueberry Lime jam

2 pts pickled beets & onion

3 12oz + 60z Apricot Peach Orange Conserve

Rancher, I only had 2 peaches in that conserve, but I had everything boiling in my stockpot, and I let it cool a little before I put it into the jars. Then I let it cool a little more, then used my poker tool to push everything down, it was all down ... 2 hrs later the whole fruit had floated to the top. Phew.

Cowboy candy is a sweet and spicy and jalepeno.

Like the pineapple and jalapeno salsa you can get from Costco? We ate a whole container of it in less than 2 days, the gal who introduced me to it goes through a jar a day!

Awesome, that recipe looks right about the same as the one I found yesterday. Time to fertilize my jalepeño plants!! TY

(FWIW I could not do pics yesterday.)

So, I canned carrots last night, around 7:00, this morning, sadly two did not seal. They are still slightly warm, can I put them in the frig for dinner tonight, safely?
