The WE2's Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Funny...I pulled a quart jar of sweet garlic pickles that I jarred up 2 years ago and have truly been enjoying them...ALL BY MY LITTLE OLE SELF! (hubby doesn't like pickles unless I chop these up into relish-type thing for tartar sauce). 2 Quote Link to comment
kappydell Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Of course, but gotta grow the veggies first, AND dig out the canner from wherever it is packed from moving.....groan..... There is also a neat little veggie stand off the beaten path in my town, I need to go check it out. The raw honey is a real draw for me. I also found a stand that sells raw green peanuts (at an exorbitant price --- gahhhh!!) so I can try the recipe I have for canning boiled peanuts in the shell. They have to be tastier than the last batch I bought from a stand, which tasted barely seasoned. So not canning yet, but planning....does that count? 3 Quote Link to comment
kyles mom Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Kappydell - I have never had boiled peanuts. Are the commercially canned kind you buy at Wal-Mart good? Wondering what the texture is like, are they soft? Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Boiled peanuts are common in Hawaii. Don't know why cuz they aren't grown there. They are softer...definitely not mushy. Salty. Wet. I liked them. MtRider ....never heard of canning peanuts in the whole shell. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Will start some jarring up before too much longer. Gonna buy Amish for the produce and put that back and find some good meats and put that up too. I have lots of dried beans so I need to do some for pork-n-beans, chili beans and black beans. Put up plenty of jelly and fruits last year so I'm good on those. Just finished a squat jar of raspberry preserves last week and finished off the last pint of blueberry syrup that I put up last year...yummy on all front! LOL 4 Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I finished off my last can of bean soup a couple of days ago. Everything is packed away and I don't want to drag it out. 2 Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 The carrot harvest is done. It doesn’t look like much, but the blister on my hand tells me differently. Hopefully, I will get to the beets next week. 6 Quote Link to comment

Annarchy Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I have been collecting the ripe tomatoes. More than I have ever gotten. Normally, I was excited to get one or two before the heat cooked them or the birds got them. 5 Quote Link to comment
kappydell Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Kyle's mom, boiled peanuts are like the canned ones at Wal-mart. They are still in the shell, and inside they are cooked, kinda like cooked dry beans. Not the taste one would expect (like peanut butter) but tasty nonetheless. I prefer the plain (they are salted), but many folks swear by the Cajun flavored around here. I like to try them whenever I see a stand. They serve them up in a huge Styrofoam cup, still warm. I usually go overboard and eat them all at once! The canned ones are a good place to try them although the food snobs might say they are inferior, I think they are just fine. I have a couple cans in my pantry. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Canned boiled peanuts....at the store? Not something we'd find in CO but HI might have had them. Another protein... MtRider 1 Quote Link to comment

Jeepers Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I would imagine the vodka might help preserve it longer too. Not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment

This time I didn't put in any Mullein or Yarrow since it's "tea" doesn't keep as well. I'll just brew those up should we need them. They are wonderful for your health during cold/allergy and flu seasons. 3 Quote Link to comment

Jeepers Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) That's awesome Motherearth!! Do you have a link to your radio program? I'd definitely listen even if it's a replay. (OOPS NEVER MIND, I JUST SAW IT IN ANOTHER SECTION) Are you using Ball lids or Tattler? I'm thinking of buying some generic lids from Lehmans and wonder if they are just as good. Welcome back!
