Canning

Group FounderGhostwolf04

It's time to start canning this weekend. Tomato juice, salsa, and pasta sauce. I have to work Saturday so I plan to split the work. Get everything washed and ready Saturday night, do the juicing and prepping. Then Sunday morning I can do the actual hot water bath.

My in-laws use to have a big garden and can veggies every year but they are gone now and I miss that.

Do you know what slippery sliders are? It's a word for something pickled and I'll tell you if you can't guess it :)

I'm guessing it's pickled eggs?
I canned some more yesterday. It's alot of work but very rewarding.

Did more canning the past 2 days. My beans and tomatoes are at the explosion point where they have to be picked every day.
So far I have made:
Salsa
Pasta sauce
Tomato juice
Crushed tomatoes
Yellow tomato preserves
Pesto
Chimchurri
Yellow salsa
Zinfandel jelly

And I have been freezing the jalapenos and green beans. I'm waiting for my elderberries to come on so I can make elderberry jelly, then I will make more zinfandel jelly. I still want to make more pasta sauce too. My cucumbers didn't do well so I won't make pickles unless someone gives me a bunch.

Ok I am so done canning now I have made so much tomato stuff, and I even got cucumbers from a co-worker and made pickles and pickle relish. Lots of jellies, dried things, green beans and peppers in the freezer. I'm wore out and glad it's over, but also proud of myself for not letting my garden go to waste. I'm saving seed from my beans for next year and I have corn for next year too. Gonna start soon clearing the garden and building some different raised beds. Need to move the strawberries.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
