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)

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
canning would be so much easier in a community. I think this often......very often....

Re: Summer Canning 2014
So jealous! Now that the oldest boy is 16 he eats things almost as fast as we can prep them - we hardly ever have leftovers anymore and even when we get a case of tomatoes we eat tomato soup for a week and it's gone
I miss canning and having plenty all the time. Living vicariously!

We love roasted rhubarb clafoutis, too. ETA: I freeze lots of rhubarb and eggs so we can eat it all winter.
I did 8 pints of rhubarb syrup last night; 32 c chopped rhubarb, about 4 c sugar, cooked it down and canned it. We'll mostly use it to flavor yogurt. |

Re: Summer Canning 2014
Okay, so Salsa Verde was so good I made more.
I also made more pepper jelly as my peppers have taken off. I'm still searching for strawberries I don't feel gross about paying what they are asking for. I did get some raspberries on sale this week and am going to try raspberry lemonade concentrate. My kids love flavored drinks and I feel so rotten about the stuff that comes in the little powder mixes that I thought I'd try to make my own. Also, I made a berry cobbler for breakfast this morning with my berry preserves and my kids all went back for seconds. I am hoping to have peas ready to can in a few weeks.

Re: Summer Canning 2014
This is the clafoutis recipe I use. It takes a bit longer to cook if you make it with frozen rhubarb (more juices after roasting). Either way, it's amazing. I double it for my family. I double everything for my family.

Re: Summer Canning 2014
A bushel and a half of nectarines at the u pick place means I've got to come up with enough canned goods to make this a good investment rather than a waste of money. I'm planning on nectarine butter, a savory jam with peppers, a chutney, and just putting some in syrup for cobblers and tarts later. I'll post back with recipes of what I ended up doing with them.

Re: Summer Canning 2014
I've been thinking about what I hope to can this year. I planted tomatoes, and hope to get enough all at once to can. I might order cucumbers to make pickles from our CSA. And peaches & apricots from my friends orchard. Maybe something with berries, but we are pretty well stocked in jam still.
The other thing I really want to try is beans, both black and kidney since that's one of the few things we use canned a lot. Would love to do that at home instead of buying bpa lined cans. But it never has to be done "right now" since I will just buy dried beans and go from there. So it never gets done. Sigh.

Re: Summer Canning 2014
I am counting down the seconds until I can make some more HUGE batches of the Strawberry Maple Vanilla jam from Taproot magazine. I made it last year, and it was amazing. We are on our last jar now.
