What are you canning/freezing right now?

[Farmer Kitty]

6 1/2 pts of no sugar added apple butter! I'll post the recipe separate.

I also got in 3 pts of no sugar added red raspberry jam!

 

[Farmer Kitty]

4 qts of yellow tomato juice
3 1/2 pts no sugar added red raspberry jam

No clue as to why 1/2 pt more red raspberry jam over yesterday's either!

 

[Farmer Kitty]

2 1/2 pts of NSA Strawberry Jam
2 1/2 pts of NSA Blackberry Jam

I'm not quite done with the NSA stuff but, I need to see if I can scrounge up a couple 1/2 pt jars!

amysflock-how is the canning going?

 

[amysflock]

Um, well...(ashamed)...I haven't done any yet. I DID go out and buy a water bath canner, pickling salt and jar bands/lids over the weekend, so I'm partway there. However, DH went on a massive bottom fishing trip on Saturday and commandeered the kitchen most of Sunday to prep and vacuum seal about 5 billion freezer packages (slight exaggeration, but let's just say he probably won't need to catch bottom fish next year).

I'm hoping to do some beans tonight if I don't get home too late, otherwise I'll have to wait for Friday evening. :|

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Don't wait to long. Things are best canned fresh.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

4 pkgs with 4 cups of Raspberries froze down.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Just canned the 4 qts of tomato juice that I juiced down on Sat. Now I'm eyeing the weather (it's raining) wondering when I can get out there to pick again.

2 1/2 pts of NSA Tripleberry jam

6 more qts of tomato juice.

Did you get anything canned over the weekend?

 

[amysflock]

Nope. :| We ate the stuff that was still good, gave the slightly questionable to the chickens, and threw the rest in the compost. I'll have to do better next year.
