What are you canning now?

Way to go with the jam, vfem!

Wow, look at all that applesauce! That's a LOT!

I'm doing more tomato sauce right now. Can't believe we are just getting the bulk of our tomatoes in mid october. It's supposed to freeze later this week so that will be the end for sure.

Dang, thats a lot of applesauce Duramaxgirl!! Do you own apple trees or just stock up during apple season? That had to be like 7 bushels worth!!

Those Roma beans look beautiful math ace.

Nothing on the canning front. Slackin'....

While I'm catching up I was wondering if anyone knows why the jelly I recently made tastes like molasess..?

It was Fresh strawberries, blackberries, and some blueberries, I also added lemon juice and sugar. Cooked and then canned in a water bath.. It smells and tastes JUST like molasess. My mom was up visiting and she said the same thing too so its not just me. Maybe its the pot I'm using.. I had a batch of Strawberry-Mandarin marmalade have the same kind of flavor last year too. I thought it was because I left out the lemon the recipe called for.

I'm not sure how many apples it was... we picked a tree on my moms property and then a friend gave us a bunch of apples! We went and helped pick with her. It took mom and me about 3 days to can it all but we had fun! Mom really loves doing it.
I wanted 50 quarts and ended up with 54 but one of the jars broke in the canner. Anyhow my kids and hubby love it!

I am getting ready to make more chicken stock... all I've canned so far has been used already!

I got through WAY more chicken stock then I could ever possibly make myself!

X 2 on that being a LOT of applesauce Duramaxgirl.

Thanks for the compliment on the roma beans. This is my first year at canning and I am feeling so good about all the food I have preserved this year.
I got another 4 quarts of green beans done today! Those plants look like I might get more beans in another week or so!
