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.

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.

Posted - Mar 29 2026 : 7:43:41 PM Per the video about 3 to 4 days. The red onions can be eaten after a few hours. I planned to wait the three days.

Hi Everyone I made refrigerator veggies today. I watched a FB video and it looked real easy. I made spicy carrots, regular carrots and two jars of pickled red onions. I also made dill pickles and Dilly beans.
I have not done this afore. I hope they come out ok.

Posted - Feb 15 2026 : 05:10:04 AM Debbie I use jelly jars. Concentrate is 1 cup lemon juice to 1 cup sugar. Heat to 190 water bath 10 min below 1000 ft or 15 if above. Add 6 cups of cold water and 1 cup of concentrate. It is nice to have in the summer time!

Posted - Feb 14 2026 : 03:46:10 AM Got the water bath canner going yesterday. My mom is visiting with my aunt in AZ and she has a lemon tree. So they sent me lemons. Zested first and then squeezed out the juice. 7.5 cups of juice later, and I canned lemonaide concentrate. Yum. Glad to have the opportunity to do this.
