Spring Canning Plans
Today I prepped the peppers for pepper jelly.
I also bought a flat of strawberries and am hulling them to can. I usually do preserves only, but I think this time I'm going to put some up in a light syrup just to serve over pancakes and make pies with. I'm not certain about the rest of my plans, but I usually put up several jars of peach butter and I'm wanting to do a salsa this year since we eat so much of it. I'd also like to put up a couple of messes of field peas. I canning!

Re: Spring Canning Plans
I live in Central Louisiana. We've had an incredibly mild winter. The Louisiana strawberries are almost done with their harvest. They sell them by the flat on the sides of roads here. Peppers are coming in from Mexico. I normally wait for local peppers which will start in May, but I'm totally out of pepper jelly and my mama and aunt depend on me to make it for them.

Re: Spring Canning Plans
If you've got local strawberries growing, you shouldn't be allowed to call that winter, mild or otherwise.

Re: Spring Canning Plans
Last night I used some fresh chives that I painstakingly grew in a repurposed mini fridge inside my cold frame. It was a proud moment.
I don't want to hear about strawberry season being almost over. How nice to get a jump start on your canning. |
