Andrea Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 10 lbs of asparagus - salt free I LOVE canned asparagus dumped on top of a green salad but the commercial stuff is loaded with sodium. So, I'm canning away while the local asparagus is cheap and in season! 18 pints so far this year, hoping to get the jar count up to 56 (one a week) before the season ends! I'll also be making some orange marmalade for gifts out of our remaining citrus. We're getting a little tired of oranges, lemons and tangerines and I don't want any to go to waste! Happy Canning!

dogmom4 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Half dozen jars of apples. Have more to do but don't have time right now. Quote Link to comment
Kelly Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm canning chicken & its broth. I bought bags of chicken leg quarters and froze them because I was too busy to can at the time but now I'm trying to get some things out of my freezer. Quote Link to comment
Jori Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 10 half-pints of grape jelly Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Okay, got 18 pints of asparagus done and have 9 pints of pork loin almost ready to come out. I still haven't gotten to the marmalade but it's only 5:00pm! Quote Link to comment
WormGuy Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I did 14 quarts and 13 pints of vegetable beef soup today. Corn tomorrow I think. John Quote Link to comment
preppie Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 14 more pints of chicken breast. I think I need to work on hamburger next. Happy Canning! Quote Link to comment
Jori Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Well, the plan was chicken soup but I don't like the way the chicken pulled apart or cooled. So I think the chicken will be for sandwiches and dinner tonight and I'll just can the broth & try again. Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 20 lbs of seasoned hamburger and 6 lbs of Violet's delicious marinated mushrooms! I have a feeling I'm going to be up late tonight! Quote Link to comment
Violet Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I am canning 22 half pints of mushrooms. That will give me 40 jars. No more mushrooms from China for me. Quote Link to comment
WormGuy Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 18 Pints of corn today. John Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 8 1/2 pints of Violet's marinated mushrooms and 9 pints of seasoned ground beef finishing up! WoooHoooo, I hear you Violet. We have the world's best mushrooms here on the West Coast. Why on Earth are we buying canned crap from China? BTW, only 14 lbs of seasoned ground beef left to go this weekend! Let's get er done!

preppie Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 7 pints of beef stew meat that I got on sale last night combined with 3-$3 off next visit coupons I paid less than $3 for 7 pints and plenty for left over for dinner. Gotta love those sales! Quote Link to comment
ChelleAlaska Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I canned up some venison stew meat - just cubed up meat - made 14 pints. It is so handy to have it on the shelf for quick dinners! Pulled some blackberries out of the freezer and made some jam - 7 jars. First time for blackberries - I think I should have strained out some of the seeds. Oh well! Can't wait until the snow melts and the rhubarb starts popping up - I might just have to shovel the snow off the garden beds to speed it up - can you say Spring Fever? Quote Link to comment
Trudy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am about to finish up with 5 flats of Louisiana Strawberies. 14 quarts in the freezer, and 12 pints of strawberry preserves. Made db 8 jars of grape jelly last week. Quote Link to comment
Trudy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Forgot to add 11 pints of quince jelly that hasn't jelled yet! Trying to get the freezer ready for summer veggies! Quote Link to comment
zophiel Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yesterday, 3 quarts of mixed orange, grapefruit and lemon. Still have about 4 (?) quarts to go, and I'll have taken care of most of the excess citrus. Quote Link to comment
bluegrassmom Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just finished up 15 twelve ounce jars of vegetable broth and hope to do some lima beans and some corn before the day is through. Quote Link to comment
Andrea Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Just went through the grocery ads and it's looking like my weekend will be spent with yet more asparagus and pork loin. I'd like to can at least 20 more pints of ground beef but there is this thing called time! However, I think I can cram 20 lbs of burger into my freezer, so I'll probably settle for that!

Trudy Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I made 4 pints of green tomato salsa for burritos using the recipe from BBB. It is ok, but not as good as the one I made last year from So Easy To Preserve. I also made 14 more pints of regular strawberry jam, and 15 pints of low sugar jam that turned out good! Put some in my oatmeal this morning. Quote Link to comment
Kelly Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 A few days ago I did 9 pints of english peas. Quote Link to comment
Violet Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 23 half pints of marinated mushrooms. A couple weeks ago I canned pickled asparagus. Made 3 batches of raspberry freezer jam this week, too. Quote Link to comment
TurtleMama Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 24 pints of strawberry jam, several of which went to go live with wonderful teachers as an end-of-the-year thank you gift. We just finished moving into our new home, but as soon as I get settled in, we plan on ordering half a hog, some of which will end up in the canner. Does anyone know if you can can ground pork like you can ground beef? Quote Link to comment
Violet Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yes, can the ground pork like ground beef. Quote Link to comment
