What are you canning now?

[chickenpickens]

Barefootmom you rock! Hope I can do that for my family next year...

 

[BarefootMom]

Thanks. I hope to have even more next year. But am seriously running low on jars. We only did 4 quarts of the venison b/c we didn't know if we would like it. Doe season is now open and DH is even more determined to get another one - says we are canning the entire thing!

Vfem,

I looked into your vanilla extract link on Black Friday.... Any idea why it limited orders to only ONE bottle of the extract ? ?
I was gonna pm and ask, but was too busy with other stuff.

aplle vodka?? oooh Im NOT a vodka drinker but my hubbie is--got a recipe???

Missed this earlier... EASY!

I get Quart jars with lids, cut apples into quarter... seeds, skin and all!

Shove them tight into the quart jar and cover completely with vodka. Put on the lid and store in a cool dark place, I use the back of my pantry for this. After about 4 week (3 months is best) you have some awesome apple vodka. I filter mine through a jelly bag and then put them in fancy corked bottles. I do these for Christmas gifts each year. This year I only made peach vodka and lemonchello. Got too busy to make the rest. I think I only got 3 or 4 bottles of liquor out of it this time.

I'm bottling the peach vodka tonight because I am going to serve it with cranberries and seltzer water over ice tomorrow.

Here's how I bottled them:

Hey Shannon, I just strained a couple of my peach vodka last week that I took to FL as gifts.

Still have a few jars curing and I will strain in a few weeks. Can't wait to try even more flavors next year! Thank you again for sharing.

Where do you find all your bottles?? I had a heck of a time and ended up with some larger square oil type I found at Wal-mart.

Oh, I bought the corked bottles from a speciality kitchen store at the outlet mall in smithfield last year. You can order them from Specialtybottles.com, which I use for large orders.

I am going to be in Smithfield in a couple of weeks, is the specialty kitchen store still there??
