Posted - Sep 15 2013 : 6:58:41 PM I have made wild choke cherry jelly, wild plum jelly, canned spiced apples, canned peaches, salsa. I also have froze peppers, raspberries, and onions. I also dehydrated cucumbers, zucchini, and tomatoes. Getting ready to do horse radish and want to find a good recipe for pickled eggs. I ate them at the local show building as a teenager. Anyone have one they want to share? |

Posted - Sep 15 2013 : 4:35:31 PM Ok tomorrow I can marionberry jam!!!It is my favorite blackberry. I froze the berries cause they give so much more juice after they've been frozen. Makes such awesome jam. Have to all the berries as this is a popular jam in this house. I wish I had enough to make a pie. Mmmmm...who'd know if I made a pie! and not so much jam...... you gals won't tell.

Posted - Sep 11 2013 : 5:14:26 PM Just took some marinated roasted red peppers out of the canner. Yay! Yesterday was Vanilla Peach Butter and Maple Vanilla Peach jam.
I have a box of pears waiting for tomorrow. And still need to get about 100 pounds of tomatoes. Sure wish the weather was cooler!

Posted - Sep 11 2013 : 09:07:57 AM So far this summer I've done: 8 pints of peas, 30 quarts of cabbage, 6 quarts of tomato juice (need to make some more), 9 quarts of French green beans, and froze 10 or so packages of corn and froze some green peppers too. I use a water bath method. That's all my family has ever used. I can for my parents and my household.
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/027 (640x480).jpg) Wanting a new type of stove. I now do not like flat tops. I'm always scared I'm going to crack the top with all my canning. I think I was canning cabbage when I took this pic.
Happy Harvest girls!

Posted - Sep 08 2013 : 5:53:25 PM Did 9 pints of.green beans today. Wishing my kitchen was bigger. I had to use a hand towel in my pressure canner to keep the last pint from juggling in the canner.

What's your chili recipe? We've been hunting for one that the hubby and kids like. :)

Posted - Sep 07 2013 : 1:44:06 PM Green beans. Starting pickles, trying a new low-temperature pasteurization recipe as a last ditch effort for crisp pickles. Also dehydrating an insane amount of elderberries and basil (got a screamin' deal on a pound of basil leaves), and something else I'm forgetting.

Posted - Sep 05 2013 : 10:03:19 PM Would love to start canning some marionberry jam but tomorrow I'm getting together with another MJ sister and I'm going to teach her how to make some herb and cheese bread. I love to make this. Although it'a a yeast risen bread, it only takes an hour to complete before she goes in the oven. You use strong flavored cheese in it and some herbs. I make a version of herbes de Provence and look those in this bread. We're having soup for dinner tomorrow night, so this bread is perfect. We're about to have a gully washer of a rainstorm tonight and tomorrow. Good day to stay in, make bread and soup. Fall is coming.....!!!

Posted - Sep 05 2013 : 06:16:55 AM Got the pickles and relish done. I will be picking fruit today so the White peaches will be worked on later today. I plan on making White Peach & Saffron Jam and Vanilla Spiced Peach Jam.
Brenda, the man we purchased peaches from told us to freeze whole in baggies and when we wanted one, take it out (no thawing), run it under water for about 3 seconds and the peel slips off. I have some in our freezer to try that way too :)

Posted - Sep 04 2013 : 5:58:33 PM So far this year my husband and I have done Strawberry Apple Jam, picked, pitted and froze 70 quarts of sour cherries, (our two trees were loaded) will make the juice for drinking later, froze 20 quarts of summer squash, canned 55 pints of pickles, picked used about 24 quarts of blackberries in various ways, canned 48 quarts of green beans, 27 quarts of peaches, a batch of Peach Pineapple Jam, and did up 10 quarts of corn.
I also put 5 gallon size bags of whole, unpeeled peaches in the freezer. I'm told they will peel easily and are perfect for pies, cobblers and jams when needed. We'll see how they turn out. I have never frozen them like this before.
Have spaghetti sauce to do yet and grape juice. I'll be canning chicken also. We get them from an Amish Farm near us.
Sounds like everyone is busy with food. Sure is a busy time of the year.
