What are you canning now?

[Frogdogtimestwo]

I have been really wanting to make this recipe but I am unsure if its totally safe with the oil in them, any comments?

They sound really good!
I am just wondering if they are fine due to marinade in water bath or if they really should be pressure canned?
I would love to put these in Christmas baskets also.

Man I'm off the mark today.

Just made a batch of my Jalapeno Peppers and realized that I left out the salt.

Anyone who printed this out - please add the salt to it.

2 Tsp - Kosher or Sea Salt.

I apologize for the mistake and any inconvenience

So frugal me tried an experiment tonight. I made Apple-Raspberry Jelly out of scraps. I have a ton of apples right now and I peeled and cored a bushel the other day to make apple sauce and apple butter. I threw those scraps into a pot and put just enough water in to cover. Boiled, smashed, boiled some more, smashed....for about 10-15 min. Then I strained and reserved the liquid. The Raspberry scraps (seeds and pulp from when I made seedless raspberry jam) were from about a month ago...I had stuck them in the freezer because I knew I could do something with them. So I put 8 cups of apple liquid in a pot and boiled a couple minutes with the raspberry scraps. Strained and taaa daaa!!! Apple-Raspberry juice for jelly! Here's the recipe I used after I made the "juice". The juice doesn't taste all the great but the flavor of the jelly came out great!

Apple-Raspberry Scrap Jelly

4 cups Apple-Rasberry Scrap Juice
4.25 cup sugar
1.5 pkg dry pectin (I don't like to use huge amounts of sugar so I just add more pectin)

Boil Juice and pectin for a minute or two. Add sugar all at once. Boil for about 5-8min. Process for 10 min.
Makes 7 half pints

I have this same recipie in the "so easy to preserve" book that my sis sent me. According to her it is the preserving bible. It is put out by the university of Georgia and it tells you how to freeze, dehydrate, pressure can and water bath just about anything. Bonus: it has ringed binding so it stays open!! Any way.. The directions state to "Process half-pint jars for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath." Let me know how it turns out. I was drooling over the recipie last night. It's the next one I plan on trying.

It's a wee bit late, but here's a pic of our wedding favors:

We gave 1 jar of homemade jam to each family that attended. People loved it and we were so excited to share our passion for local food with our families and loved ones.

Awesome idea Jenn!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!

I thought I was done canning since I was just putting up green beans in the freezer now. However, my neighbors let their garden go. There are tomatoes just ripening and rotting and falling on the ground. They told me to out and help myself... so I guess it couldn't hurt to do a few more jars of sauce or stewed tomatoes right?!

Or honestly, should I just leave them for the chickens?! I guess I am just too worn out for more work... but I know that we could so easily eat all that... we'll finish what we already have in a matter of a few months as is.

*oh the decisions the decisions.....*

Why not can whole tomatoes in their own juices? Peel them then squish the tomatoes into jars, then process w/ salt & lemon juice for 80 minutes. It's that easy.
