Amy, I made refridgerator pickles 8 gallons worth! I didn't have any canning jars when I made them. They were easy- just vinegar, salt, sugar, celery seed, onions, bell pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes and the cukes. they are so good!
I just got through canning 34 qts and 24 pints of salsa- then 10 more gallon bags of crushed tomatoes.
I need more canning jars..
Blessings, Debra

AMY.. Great job! The only bad side of canning - is "store" bought will never taste good again :)

Amy, your pickles look yummy. Since I'm alone, I haven't made any for the longest time. I have a 7-day pickle recipe that is absolutely delicious. It gets a little stinky in the house while making them, but if you have a porch to set them on, all the better. They are really good. A farmgirl neighbor of mine gave me the recipe. She was a really good cook and canner.
My first attempt this year will be strawberry jam. Will pick the berries tomorrow afternoon after my doctor's appointment.
