What are you canning now?

Also if you fry your green tomatoes you can dip in egg then roll them in parmesan cheese. Excellent taste.

Canning yourself gives you a better selection of designer jams and jellies. Plus other specialized things not commercially made due to cost and demand.

I saw some wild grapes hanging and wonder how many I would need to make a batch of jam. Anyone know?

I did buy some blueberries at a $1 a pound at a you pick em....
I had some more blueberries and canning pears given to me. . .

The rest came from my own yard - --
Blackberries,
Tomatoes,
Green beans
carrots,
banana peppers,
summer squash,
and a little bit of my own blueberries.

I started doing the canning thing this year and did it because I planted 30 - 40 tomato plants and they were all producing... AT ONE TIME!

Now to figure out how to can all these eggs...
Does anyone have a good pickled egg recipe ? ??

Let me look around- I can't seem to find the one I used last year? BUT it was perfect, so I will do some hunting! Wait for it.....
