WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[freemotion]

Hubby went to an auction and bought me 4 cases of canning jars and a mess of lids

I think he is trying to tell me something. I guess he really liked that apple sauce I made

How romantic!!! No, really!!!

Sparks, both those are on my list...first I MUST catch up on all neglected outdoor work while we have this brief period of reasonable weather between the heat wave and the deep freeze!

I've got 4 quarts of butternut squash processing right now (good grief... 90 minutes?!). Big thanks to my friend at work who gave me these!
Gonna make some soup this winter

Yesterday I canned 7 quarts of beef broth and 4 pints of green beans.

I canned some Sriracha Pepper Sauce. It was wonderful but hot enough to curl your toes. I will post the recipe on the fermentation thread as well because it starts with fermented hot peppers.

I also canned 2 jars of tomato sauce. Yes...only 2. We ate so many of the tomatoes fresh I didn't have a lot for making in to sauce!

6 pints of Christmas limas going right now. Harvested 30 lb of sweet potatoes a week ago. Usually cook and freeze but freezers are stuffed, anybody can them? I don't want them sweetened.

Now I'm getting hungry. I know I will read about what yall are canning, get inspired, make a plan, get hungry, then eat and my attention will be distracted. I can be soo ADD.

I am interested in that recipe as well. I should have some to can soon.

The worst part of canning sweet potatoes is peeling the buggers. I wonder if the blanching method we use on tomatoes would work? Hmmmmm.....
Anyway, you just peel them, chunk them up to fit in the jar add water to about an inch from the top, a little salt and pressure can for 45 minutes per pint. Easy stuff.

Yesterday I canned some Hot Dilly beans and some Banana and Jalapeno rings... Also, one jar of mixed hot peppers , they are a mixture of cayenne, black pearl peppers, and jalapeno's... I thought this would be good to keep on hand to put in chilli and such.

Black Pearl Peppers....very very hot I might add...
