What are you canning now?

Possibly the Gravenstein? It's from Denmark and is yellow although there is a red sport. Say's they're more common on the west coast.

No we have those in our yard. Mom said it was more a wild apple, a cooking type and far to hard and sour to eat with out cooking.

Hard and sour sounds like a variety of crab apple.

Does any one know of a yellow wild apple, that might have come from Denmark or Sweden with their ancestors to the USA?

Mom was thinking back to her childhood and the apples that they made apple butter from back on the farm.

Maybe this:

It is a type of Crab Apple called a Golden Hornet. They are considered wild apples and make great sauces and such.

OK here is the recipe for Hot Pepper Butter. I got this from two brothers that live down the road from us so I call it J & R's Pepper Butter.

36 Hot Peppers ( I use Hot Hungarian)
1 Quart Yellow Mustard\
1 Quart White Vinegar
6 cups sugar
2 tablespoons salt.


GRIND PEPPERS, SEEDS AND ALL( I USED THE FOOD PROCESSER) MIX WITH THE MUSTARD, VINEGAR, SUGAR, AND SALT AND PUT IN A LARGE POT. START HEATING
MIX 1 1/2 CUPS FLOUR AND 1 1/2 CUPS WATER TO A SMOOTH PASTE, ADD THIS TO THE CHILE MIXTURE STIRRING CONSTANTLY. BRING TO A BOIL COOK FOR 5 MINUTES STIRRING UNTIL THICKENED. ( iT CAN EASILY SCORCH DUE TO THE HIGH SUGAR CONTENT)
LADLE INTO HOT JARS AND SEAL IN A HOT WATER BATH FOR 10 MINUTES,
ENJOY WITH ANY SANDWICH. IT ALSO MAKES A GREAT GLAZE FOR HAM, PORK ROAST OR CHICKEN.

I hope this is the right place to post this....

Just started making simple jalapeno jam and apple jelly (only apple juice, sugar, and pectin)
Want to make other jams - peach, mixed berry, banana....
Also, I've been told these are elderberries or maybe choke cherries....They grow on a pretty tall (30 foot) tree, so I doubt they're elderberries...

Can any of you experts tell me and maybe offer a recipe?


The leaves look like this;

Thanks for any help. If these are not edible, I'll find something else to make jelly from.

 

[erinszoo]

I'm not an expert on chokecherries but that's what my husband and I think they are. The leaves are right. They are definitely NOT elderberry which we have growing in our yard. You could do an internet search for pictures of chokecherries and see what comes up.

Hey all I did my Water melon jelly last night only to realize after taking them out of the canner, that I did not Add any Lemon juice, No wonder it took so much extra pectin to get it to gel up,.,.,. ARGGGGGG
So is this gonna affect my jelly at all? It did set nice and taste good, but now I'm worried I never forgot the Juice b4.........
BTW that bush/ tree is an elder berry at least from what I have seen up here they grow to 20 to 30 foot bushy tree and look just like that............... I could be wrong but, I remember getting a ladder on my truck bed to reach the top berries many times............ \heres a link http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/Plants.Folder/Elderberry.html
