This year I had the most fun ever canning our harvest and local produce and some not so local like my peaches I got for a steal! Canning is rewarding and while it is not instant gratification it is extremely gratifying. I can’t take all the credit either because my daughter helped me make my peach salsa this year and my husband always pitches in it can become quite a family passion!
This year we canned the following: (many of the recipes I took from the Ball Book I call it the canning Bible but I always tweak recipes to make them slightly my own anyway!
peach jam
peach butter
relish
canned tomatoes/italian canned tomatoes
barbecue sauce
spicy salsa/salsa
peaches
and pepper jelly.
I am still hoping to put up more pepper jelly for the holidays for gifts and some applesauce this fall!
Yum! Everything looks and sounds yummy, but it was kind of like torture…. I could look but not touch, smell, taste…..
Mary that is so funny! I love looking at canning blogs but I always have plans to make what I am reading about……………….I just wish I had more time now!
Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it!
