I've been canning now for a few years. Thanks to all my great friends for teaching me how now I can do it myself in my own home. Here are a few pictures of what I canned this summer.
This was the first time I've ever canned peaches & they were a lot of work, but they are oh so good!!!
I will definitely be doing these again next year, but with some help. These peaches are canned in a medium syrup & I'm sure that's what makes them extra yummy-sugar. Click here for the peach canning instructions that I used.
This is what I made with the peach skins--Peach Honey. After throwing away all the pits, I read the directions on how to make this recipe and realized that I should have kept the pits. Oh well, next year. This stuff is so yummy & you should totally try it out. Here is the link to this awesome recipe by Gertrude Buchanan.
This was also the first time I canned pears. As you might be able to tell in the pictures, I should have canned them a couple days before they got really soft. But after canning the peaches I had to have a break, so I figured extra ripe pears would just have to do. Here is the recipe I used for the pears.
I kept the skins from the pears as well and made yummy pear honey using the same recipe as the peach honey. All I can say about all this honey is yum, yum, yum! It's divine on toasted honey whole wheat bread.
This is the first year I grew pickling cucumbers & my plant took forever to grow cucumbers, so I only got 3 jars of dill pickles. I have yet to know how these taste, because first off, I don't like pickles & second, they had to sit for two weeks before we could even open them. I think my husband is waiting to open them because he knows he only has 3 jars & he'd probably eat an entire jar at one sitting. :) Click here for this recipe.
I've been canning jelly for a couple years now and last year I didn't have to buy any at the store, which was so nice, but we used every last jar of it. So this summer I had to make more to get us through another year. We have raspberry bushes that provide lots and lots of raspberries, so I was able to make enough jelly and I even had some left over raspberry juice which I froze in case I need to make more. I borrowed a food strainer from my friend and it was so much faster then using cheese cloth like I did the year before. I definitely need to get me one of these. The recipe I use for my jelly is from the Sure Jell pectin box found here.
I know canning takes a lot of time and sometimes it's even cheaper to buy these products at the store, but it's something I really enjoy doing when I have the time. Here is my pinterest board of canning recipes, some I've used and some I have yet to use.
