Any Canners/Preservers out there?

I just made a batch of pickled Okra last night fresh from our crop share!  I'm pretty excited to try them.  I've made quite a few batches of refridgerator pickles this year, but since I found out they have a higher risk of listeria I haven't touched them.  The okra was made in a canner so it should be safe.  And we can eat them sooner.  Anyone else canned anything?

    My husband is pretty big into this stuff. Pickles, ghost peppers, habanero, tomatoes. He makes his own mustard and brews his own beer. He's a nut.

    I have been making jam like crazy since we moved from NYC to CA last month. We finally have a real kitchen and pantry and I've been wanting to learn to can for years. The local farmers markets make it even more appealing. I bought supplies for hot canning and have been vigilant about following proper procedures to avoid listeria. It's been a lot of fun, especially since I don't anticipate having much time for crafts after January.

    Usually I'm stocking the basement with preserves at this time but this year I've been so busy with work, and so tired at the end of the day that I haven't done a thing. 

    I'm hoping NFL sundays will be a good time to put up whatever I can find at the local market. These pictures are so inspiring!

    my sister and I did about 100lbs of tomatoes, 3 dozen jelly jars and 2 dozen large apple sauce this summer.  Lots of work but always nice to have some garden grown stuff through the year :)

    I made white peach vanilla bean and strawberry preserves this summer. Planning to can a bunch of peaches this weekend. We do. Bountiful baskets, and they usually have some awesome add ons that make canning great.

    In June we made freezer strawberry jam (I missed out helping with the raspberries). Last weekend we canned peaches, next are pears and applesauce! I love canning! I would love to get a pressure canner so I can can my chili. One day...

    My mom has been teaching me the art of canning this season :) Together we've done green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, salsa, pickled beans and corn, vegetable soup and put up a couple hundred ears of corn! Lots of work!

    My H got into canning tomato things a few years ago when we planted our first garden. So far, we've done 20 cans of homemade pizza sauce-we give away about half. H's family all makes homemade pizza. And we also did salsa.
    @sassquatch‌ This is the recipe we've used for a few years and the pizza sauce/salsa are a great way to use up a ton of tomatoes. I think there is a tomato pasta (non meat) sauce, too.

    misslizzy82 - For jam (strawberry and strawberry/rhubarb) we just use a standard jam recipe - sugar, pectin, little butter to cut the bubbles.  For tomatoes, we do a few diff ones.  We do just canned tomatoes so peal and boil then can.  Then do spicy - peal, boil with jalapenos, onion, bell peppers and then can.  Put 1/2 tsp salt and 2 tsp lemon juice per quart (both reg and spicy) and then we usually do a salsa which is a recipe my sister found.  Not sure the details on that one.

    For apple sauce, we did large pot of peeled, sliced apples with 1 cup sugar (half white, half brown) and 2 tsp cinnamon.  cook down and then use a blender stick to puree.  As long as its boiling, and you use hot jars, you can can them w/o the canner.  We just put the hot sauce in hot jars, set them on their top for 15 min and then flip.  They should seal themselves.
