WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[TanksHill]

Thermal shock sounds like a good theory. As for scratching, how could they not be? My jars are all used, old, and abused.

It's ok. Only two losses so far is not that bad.

My cupboards getting full.

Today I picked an ice chest full of pears. Those should be ready to can by Monday.

"Refrigerator" Salsa. Between the garden and refrigerator, I had enough peppers to make a batch of salsa. I had 9 varieties ranging from sweet green bells to habaneros.

ETA: 10 pints cooling now.

Seven quarts of tomato juice. The plan was to make sauce, but I got tired of waiting for it to cook down.

I canned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING today and I refuse to can anything tomorrow, either. I will pay for it Tuesday when I have to do the rest of my tomatoes, but it felt good to have a fun weekend.

Yesterday, canned 5 more pints of green tomato/jalapeno jam. Love that stuff. My waistline, not so much.

This is the recipe I've been using... keljonma passed it along to me. The first time I made it, I followed it exactly. Since then I've added more jalapenos (I like it HOT), and used less sugar.

Tomato Jam

6 large tomatoes (about 4 pounds), cored and quartered
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup grated onion
3 minced garlic cloves
2 jalapeno peppers, minced (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
3 Tb fresh lime or lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt

Bring to a boil and continue cooking and stirring until thickened. Put into sterilized jars ready for canning. Process in water bath for 15 to 20 minutes. Excellent with meats.

I've got 2 8-quart stock pots of tomato sauce simmering and just about ready to go into jars and be canned, and 8 half-pints of Sweet Pickle Relish bubbling away in the canner as I type.
