NCDR- canning

megpeg

Does anyone else can? I am trying to figure out what else I can do... What are your favorites? So far I have canned- blueberry butter, blueberry syrup, peaches, pickles, dill pickle relish, hot pepper jelly, I still have some strawberry jam and blueberry left from last year and some pears. Any other ideas? I have tomatoes going right now too.

I love pickled beets. I'm going to try salsa this year too, because my cilantro plant is growing like its on drugs, and I have tomatoes to spare

I second the salsa, mines on the stove right now! Also pickled asparagus or pickled green beans. We did a little bit of cherries this year too.

My Grandma always did tomatoes, green beans, and peaches.  I don't can, but a friend of mine brought me some pickled green tomatoes last year that were awesome.  I guess there's like a pickling mix you can buy next to the canning jars.  You just following the direction on that but use green tomatoes instead of cucumbers.

How does canning green beans work? Because I find canned green beans to be the devil's work. It's my pretty, pretty princess thing. Are home canned that different?

Dilly beans! Like pickled green beans
are our favorites. So good and super easy. I think you pack the jars and pour hot brine and then process.

The Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving is an awesome book with TONS of recipes! I've done peaches and bread and butter pickles from that book and both were delicious.
