Posted - Jul 18 2015 : 1:24:20 PM So far I've put up dilly beans, kidney beans and today is turkey stock. When I'm done today I will have canned 24 quarts. I still have 3 turkey carcasses to make more stock from.

 The box of peaches I got from our farmers market is ready to use. I'll be freezing and dehydrating them.

Posted - Jul 13 2026 : 04:50:37 AM The garden produce is starting to come in around the country. Enjoy the goodness. I will head out shortly and check on my peas. I hope to get enough to freeze this year. Everything else grew like crazy since we have warmed up now. The heat is awful, in my opinion. the corn is tassleing out though. Happy Canning!

Posted - Jul 10 2026 : 2:55:01 PM Hay there,
The garden is growing and producing tons of beans and potatoes. Tomatoes are not turning red fast enough for all my tomato sandwiches but they are delicious. I've been making pickles for the last 3 days. We ending up with 36 pints of spears, some dill but most are spicy garlic. I'm thinking of canning potatoes. Do any of ya'll do that? Hugs

Posted - Apr 01 2026 : 4:58:37 PM Those look lovely Nancy! I've done the pickled onions and they are so versatile! I think as long as they have a vinegar base they should last in the fridge for months. |

Posted - Mar 30 2026 : 6:18:15 PM Hi April, I read they can be refrigerated for up to 3 months. (even after opened)
Hi Heather, I will have to let you know in 2 days but I agree. They should be good on a burger.
