What are you canning now?

Well, for being busy on your house you seem to be accomplishing a lot in the canning world. We are slow on tomatoes here too and probably only enough for some salsa. Truth be known we eat a lot more salsa then we do tomato sauce, etc.

This is my last full week of summer break so I am trying to get as much accomplished as possible. When school starts back there is about a two week window where my body and mind have to readjust to school. I'm useless those two weeks. Today's accomplishments:

7 cups of blueberry freezer jam
6 cups of blueberry-strawberry freezer jam
9 pints of spaghetti sauce
7 pints of salsa
8 1/2 pints of carmalized onion jam

I also baked some blueberry muffins to send with my partner to work. A friend of mine sent me a squash casserole recipe so I baked it as well.

Tomorrow will be canning crushed tomatoes and probably freeze the rest of the blueberries.

Yesterday/Today...

10 pints, 2 quarts Peaches
28 jars Apple Butter
3 pints Applesauce (extra from making the apple butter)
20 jars Wild Blackberry Jam

Still have about 20 lb peaches to work - think they'll go into Peach Butter. And about 14 lb cucumbers for pickles.

Well, little one got his six month shots this morning, it always tugs at my heart.

When we got home I got started in the kitchen. Made 6 jars of grape jelly, I think I have one or two more batches to go. Made an awesome chocolate cake from the depression era recipes forum and made this huge 1 gallon ball jar of Claussen style refrigerator pickles! Can't wait to see how they taste.

Now I think I'm done for the day!

What is your recipe for "claussen style" pickles? I keep experimenting with different garlic dills but my daughter still likes Claussens from the store better - so if I can make them maybe I can win her over to the home made ones!

I'd love that pickle recipe too please!

That cake looks divine! Wow, I wish I could have a piece right now with a cold glass of milk! Beautiful.

I made a run of this today because it sounded interesting. I had a little more than I needed to fill the jars I had prepared so I dumped it over the porkchops I was planning for dinner and stuck it in the oven. AMAZING. I think I will be making another batch tomorrow. It reminds me of the Jack Daniels dipping sauce from TGI Fridays that I absolutely love. Thanks for posting the recipe!

I found it here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=354154

My DH is a picky pickle person so I figured I would give it a try. This is my first go round with them, I hope they do taste like Claussen's as that is his favorite too!

Tipsydog, the cake is really good and moist, come on over for a slice, I'll have your milk chillin!

I totally agree... I've made it a few times now, and I've sold out of it twice. Probably because we've eaten at least 2 jars worth. It works great on the grill too!!!
