Last week was my first week of partial retirement (haven't even looked for that part time job yet) so I had lots of fun with my first trip to our local farmer's market in weeks and my collection of garden tomatos and a new pressure canner:
18 pts of salsa
3 doz ears of corn part in freezer and dried some that was post mature
24 pts of crowder peas
5 pints of whipporwill peas (an old heirloam I actually found at the flea market, saved some dryer pods for seeds)
24 pints of chicken
The chicken was my favorite brand on sell for 99 cents/lb for split breasts...I figured a pint jar cost me a little over a $1.00 which compared to buying canned chicken at the store I saved a bundle. The price will go down after I get chicken broth made from the bones and trimmings.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How do you make peach salsa or chutney? I never tried it but thought it would be good. I like ginger in it and don't want to put in raisins.
Also, do you think I can make low sugar jam with peaches and black or blue berries in it together.
When I dried the corn some of the kernels turned brown, like maybe it carmelized. I did it all alike and the corn was not ruined just post mature. Do you have any ideas on why it happened and how to use it.
Thanks, I love this thread
