Summer Canning 2014
So Far --
Dewberry Preserves (3 pint jars) Dewberry Jelly (2 pints and 4 cup jars) Pepper Jelly (4 cup jars) Up Next -- More Pepper Jelly Salsa Roja Salsa Verde Dill Pickles Blackberries in Syrup Blackberry Vinegar Stawberry Preserves (if I can find strawberries that I trust for the right price) Deeper in to Summer-- Peach Butter Figs Spaghetti Sauce Creole Sauce Wild Currant & Lemon Jelly Field Peas More Pickles Later Summer Early Fall Muscadine Jelly Pears in Syrup I'll post quantities as I get them done. I have other things that I want to try but am uncertain if I can grow or acquire the produce for them at this point. If I make them I'll add them to the list. Post your plans and accomplishments, and I'll drool along. ;) Blessings, Kelly |
Re: Summer Canning 2015
What a great idea!
I plan to do the following this year: Up next -plum sauce (using fruit from the freezer) -strawberry jam Later in the summer: -raspberry and blackberry jam -apricot jam -peach salsa -peaches -damson plums if I can find a new source (we removed our trees last year) -blueberry chutney End of summer: -diced tomatoes with added veggies (I use this for a base in a lot of soups and stews) If I feel up to it: -beef soup (I have a lot of bones in the freezer that need to be used, and a good recipe for canning beef soup) |

getting ready to do some strawberry jam

Re: Summer Canning 2015
I picked some more early blackberries or dewberries today. I think I'm going to boil these out for juice and then I can decide a bit later if I want to make a blackberry syrup with them or jelly or whatever. I'm really thinking about adapting a strawberry-lemonade concentrate recipe that I have to use with blackberry juice instead of the strawberry pulp.
I am thinking I may not be able to get enough peaches to make peach butter this year. A late winter storm has fairly decimated my local u-pick peach orchard. Sad face. :( |

Re: Summer Canning 2015
I had a big bucket of dewberries, lemon juice, honey, and a small jar of lavender sugar. I puzzled a bit and came up with lavender-berry-honey jam. It is some awesome stuff if I do say so myself. 3 pints cooling on the counter as we speak and hoping to make more.... :yum

Re: Summer Canning 2014
I'm a canning newbie! I'm going to start with thimble berry jam later this summer. :yes I wanted to make rhubarb-champagne-thimble berry jam but we eat the rhubarb as fast as we can pick it. :lol Note to self--plant more rhubarb.

Re: Summer Canning 2014
I'm going to post the Lavender-Berry-Honey Jam Recipe, if nobody minds. If I don't write it down, I'm going to forget it. I just know it.
6 cups of pureed blackberries or dewberries (about a gallon of fresh berries) 3 cups of local honey 1/2 cup of lavender sugar 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice Combine all ingredients in a heavy pot. Heat over medium heat until boiling. Boil gently, stirring often, until jam sets (about 45 minutes). Test set with a chill test. Fill jars and place lids and rings. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. |
