What are you canning now?

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?

About 5 pounds.

Just picked 5 gallons of wild grapes and those were just the ones next to my house! Off to the steam juicer.

Got 3 boxes of tomatoes to can and another batch of pickles once I get dill from BIL.

I have a question and maybe it's been answered already but I don't have time to look. I am wanting to make raspberry and blackberry syrup, but I am not wanting to put it in your typical "Jam Jars" type jars. I'd like to use a more "syrup style bottle", for easy pouring. Does anyone know if these are even available and if so, where I might get them? TIA!!!

Daughter and I are going out to an endurance ride this weekend, so we'll be gone 3 days and had a bunch of ripe tomatoes. Didn't have time to can tonight, so I froze many quarts of tomato puree as well as 3 quarts of green beans.

any one got a recipe for the wild grapes.

Also if I have tomato frozen can I thaw them and then can them? I'm concerned about having things in the freezer. What if the power goes out like in Vermont. Lord help those poor people.

what is a "steamer juicer"?

The link under the "about 5 pounds" in my previous response to you goes to a whole page of wild grape recipes. Including conserve, jam, and several jellies.

5 cups of grape juice
