So far I've put up dilly beans, kidney beans and today is turkey stock. When I'm done today I will have canned 24 quarts. I still have 3 turkey carcasses to make more stock from.

Great job Karen. Years ago we had two cherry trees, and I got alot off of them. Last year we planted a new cherry tree. I canned cherry pie filling from some boughten ones last year and that is so good. Enjoy your cherries.

Dawn, yes! We have one tree! It’s a Stella cherry. You only have to grow one tree as it can self-pollinate. It was cultivated in BC, Canada!

I love cherry jam! Great job Karen on having them all seal for you. Cherries are really expensive at the farmers market and stores, do you have your own trees?

Wonderful start Krista. Maybe someone by you would have extra rhubarb, that would share.

My rhubarb has been very slow growing this year, but I got enough rhubarb to make 2 pints of strawberry rhubarb jam yesterday. Both pints sealed. Hopefully I can get some more rhubarb soon, because this is a favorite jam in our house.

Lisa, I've learned from trial and error to add fresh bay leaf, garlic & onion powder, and instant chicken bouillon all to taste. Add salt only if needed. No black pepper, it turns bitter in canning process. I like the mild corn taste it has even with what I add. Next year I may try adding an herb, like rosemary or sweet marjoram.

I need to try that this year Sara. What all do you put in besides the corncobs? |

Sara - you always can the most interesting things! I hope all your jars seal tomorrow and that the storms aren't too severe.

Today I am prepping to put up corncob broth tomorrow. Fresh corn on sale for 29 cents an ear so I ordered 6 ears in this morning's grocery delivery. Annie and I sat out on the back deck so I could husk the corn. We are under a severe thunderstorm watch but so far it was perfect weather to sit outside. I haven't made corncob broth in a couple of years so happy to get back to it. It's good in soups, stews, and to warm up vegetables when you need a little extra liquid.

Everyone has been so busy canning this and that. I have canned up 3.5 jars of rhubarb juice this spring. 31.5 when I got up this morning. The apple trees are in full bloom, hope it does not hurt them. I did cover up my seedlings and the one flower basket I have. Happy Canning everyone.

I'm with you Lisa, some names make no sense at all.
Good job on canning tomatoes, Tara.
My next day of canning will be multi-bean soup with smoked ham hock. Each time I can or cook a bean I add a couple of Tbsp to a jar. I now have a full jar of all kinds of beans, but I don't know how many different kinds, only know it's way more than 9.

Tara, I love when I discover bags of frozen tomatoes in the freezer! Makes my canner happy!
Sara, probably similar to the people that think up paint colors; sometimes they make no sense. Hubs man cave is painted Sawdust by Sherwin Williams. It is a deep taupe green. I've never seen sawdust that color. LOL |

Just 3 quarts of diced tomatoes. I am cleaning out freezer of tomatoes. I made pasta sauce with dozens of yellow and red cherry tomatoes and froze.
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

Put up 7 pints Bayo Chocolate bean from Mexico today and all sealed. Did not do the happy canning dance since I had no pep left in my step after canning.
This bean is akin to the pinto bean and has a tasty broth, that's why I wanted to try it. Don't know why it has chocolate in its name since nothing is said about it having a chocolate flavor and the color when cooked is on the rosy side.
