Crazy4Canning Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I did 18 pints of bread & butter dills and 19 pints of dilled pickled beans. I'm working on corn. The chickies are lovin' the corn cobs! Link to comment
Virginia Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Got that turkey cooked, (ate some for supper) and into jars. Been seeing it in the freezer too long and finally bit the bullet and did it. Processing right now. Link to comment
Homemaker Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Well, I processed 17 more pints of applesauce from the second round of bags of apples I was given. The bugs have spread through them pretty bad so I'm tossing the rest out for the chickens to enjoy. I just can't bear the thought of cutting them all up to only get about 1/4 of usable stuff. My time is better spent doing something else. Link to comment
Jori Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I just finished another 8 pints of tomatoes all from our or my in-laws garden and have at least another 8 pints to go. I might end up switching to quarts. Tomorrow is going to be a shopping day as I have my 1/2 gallons, 5 pints, and 4 half pint jars left. I'll pick up more peaches too to make peach-raspberry jam before the berries go bad. Link to comment
Simplegirl Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 8 more pints of salsa. Hope that is all. I believe I am going to give away tomatoes from this point on except those that we are eating with meals. I am done! Link to comment

Jake Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Just finished pressure canning 22 quarts and 16 pint of stewed tomatoes with celery, onion, and green peppers. My 6 year old daughter is my apprentice lately. Anytime I am canning she is there to help. And she won't just watch she must be involved and helping. I hope this last thru the teenage years.

Simplegirl Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Well, used some dried jalapeno in the salsa and it turned out HOT!! So, I need to make one more batch this weekend so I have enough of my favorite MILD salsa. DH loved it though! Link to comment

Jake Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 6 pints of Dixie Relish (made with cabbage, green and red bell peppers and onions and vinegar, sugar and spices) and 4 quarts of plums in light syrup. Link to comment
Crazy4Canning Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 So, I spent the afternoon in the kitchen with my dad. We did just over 3 dozen pints of fruit cocktail. Some are flamingo pink from the marishino cherries...others are just right. I can't wait to try them. Never before have I wished a lid not to seal. We also mixed up two different batches of chow-chow relish for my parents' friends. My dad volunteered slave labor (hey, they're his friends!) and I will can it up tomorrow. It's supposed to make 4 pints each, but I think I'm going to get WAY more than that. We had enough leftover veggies for really nice coleslaw! YUM Dad got to use a pear corer and my mandoline slicer. He didn't nick anything, but he did poke a finger on the blade.... I don't think my kitchen floor will ever be the same. Right now, it's SHOES ONLY, no socks, for the floor's so bad, it will pull them off. Link to comment
zophiel Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 After work, 4+ pints peach-rum conserve. It was supposed to be 2 pints. The recipe was 2 pints, and I didn't increase anything ( . . . well, except the rum-- but only by a little!) Dad joked that I oughta call the Pope and ask if multiplying the liquored-up conserve was anything like multiplying loaves and fishes. Heh. tastes nice. Like rum, and fruit. Link to comment
JCK88 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Recently canned pie peaches, peaches, peach jam, green beans, yellow beans, and tomato sauce, salsa, tomato juice. I will be getting more tomatoes this week and it's apple picking time! Link to comment

Jake Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 36 quarts of plums and 15 quarts of pickled mixed vegetables and 4 more pints of pears. Link to comment
TJN66 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Wow...you all make me feel like a slacker! I did get 18 quarts of tomatoes done yesterday. I do have a bushel of peppers to freeze, just need to prep them. I do need to get another bushel of tomatoes but its almost apple picking time so Im not sure if I'll get another one or not. Since its only hubby and I eating it we might be ok with the 18 quarts. Link to comment
Cat Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 36 quarts of plums and 15 quarts of pickled mixed vegetables and 4 more pints of pears. Jake... How do you use your plums? Just eat them from the jar, or fix them in different dishes? We never had much use for plums when I was growing up. And then this year I discovered "Bubble Gum" plums!!! And I don't know how they would can, but I'd sure like to try! Wow...you all make me feel like a slacker! Slacker, NOTHING!!! WAY TO GO!!! I like to do lots of tomato juice because I can do so much with it. I can't say I ever canned "too much"! Link to comment
Jingles Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 7 pints of green beans. Had 8 but one didn't seal gonna eat it instead. I feel so blessed that our beans decided to come back on full tilt. I hope to get at least one more batch before frost hits. Be nice to get more, but we shall see. Glad to get any at all!

Cricket Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Five and a half pints of tomato sauce. Used my Roma mill for the first time. Worked great! http://www.lehmans.com/store/Kitchen___Can...___070801?Args= Link to comment
Rita Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 21 quarts of boiled peanuts with that many more to do tomorrow, then 40lbs of sweet potatoes. Link to comment
Simplegirl Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Cricket~ I LOVE my Roma mill. One of the best things I have ever bought to help with putting up tomatoes. Wow... such a time saver. I have canned another 5 pints of salsa but already into one of them with the chips today. Also started some bucket sweet pickles from the last of the cukes. I have also frozen many many tomatoes. They got ahead of me. Link to comment
firegirl969 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 This past week I put up 7 quarts and 1 pint of pear halves and 8 pints and 1 half-pint of pear preserves from pears that DH got from a client he called on. Link to comment
