What are you canning now?

[vfem]

I pick my rose petals (2 cups), and seep them like tea in a hot water on the counter for about an hour or so. Then leave them in the fridge overnight. Get all the liquid out through a jelly bag. Then boil 2 cups, w/ 1 pouch of liquid pectin, add 2 cups of sugar. Add to steralized jars, and WB for 10 minutes.

Never use commercial roses!

Today I did
11 jars Nectarine Jam
5 jars No Sugar Blueberry Jelly
and froze a bunch of Bell Peppers

I still have anaheim, hot banana and habanero peppers that I picked this morning. They're going into our favorite Hot Pepper Mustard. But that's for tomorrow's chores.

Yet to do this evening....making Stuffed Peppers for dinner.

I am knee deep in hungarian peppers and have no idea what to do with them all - I have never frozen peppers - they don't get too mushy?


I want to can beets but apparently need a beet growing lesson first!

So far this year, I have canned beans, carrots, and pickles.

I have an awesome canning recipe for hungarian wax hots in oil, you can eat the peppers and use the oil for cooking! I'll try to dig it out and PM you...

Freezing does soften peppers but they're suitable for cooking, or can be left whole for stuffing. We seed them and freeze them whole, sliced or chopped for recipes.

For a crisp option, we can peppers for topping sandwiches or in salads. I have the canning recipe posted here:

Sure, I posted before. Here's a link:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=3374713#p3374713 - in the post I mentioned getting pppers out of the freezer, but usually I make it using fresh peppers unless we run out. The get out frozen peppers and make more. LOL....DH & I are addicted to the stuff!

We just bought 2 bushels of hungarian hots to can. I wish my growing season was longer here zone 4... I have done pickled beets, but since they aren't a majority fave I didn't plant beets this yr They got bumped..

Here is some information from the National Food Preservation about unsealed jars - Hope it helps

Sandee

Can food be re-canned if the lid does not seal?
Canned food can safely be recanned if the unsealed jar is discovered within 24 hours. To re-can, remove the lid and check the jar sealing surface for tiny nicks. Change the jar; if necessary, add a new treated lid and reprocess using the same processing time.

Got my mom and sis to help snap a bushel of beans this weekend, ended up canning 40 pints! Yippee. Based on what I canned/used last winter, this should be plenty.

Bought cherries today at the store to make cherry jelly. It just sounded good ;0)
