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.

Canned the french fries yesterday. Put a tsp of bacon grease in with them. All four jars sealed. Popped one open to try last night. I did them in the air fryer setting on my toaster oven. They did crisp up very nicely. I grow yukon gold potatoes. They are definitely convenient to have. Not sure I like the canned flavor of the potato that comes through. I will probably just continue to freeze the french fries. I can some potato chunks, which are ok, but its the canned flavor that I am not great with. Being able to process potatoes is a good thing, instead of them going soft and throwing them out. Wish I had a nice root cellar or cold room.
Lisa it is so nice when you see your using jars of canned food everyday! I think the same thing.

Michele you are always so busy! I haven't canned anything lately except a bit of broth, but I am amazed every time I run the dishwasher at how many empty canning jars are in there. I am definitely using what I canned! |

Meals in a jar are always great to have on hand. Farm chores took care of a few hours, so never got potatoes going. I did go through them, and have a freezer basket to use. Once the canner is going I can run out and clean the waterer out for the cows.

Good luck with the potatoes! I didn't grow enough of them, I'm already out of fries :( I'm going to be getting the canner out soon and make some taco soup and maybe some spaghetti soup.

Judith, All the apple sauce sealed, priceless! I have potatoes I have to start going through and processing. Pull out some to plant in the spring too. I want to try dry canning french fries, thanks Lisa for the idea.

My daughter brought me a box of apples from her tree last week so now there are eleven pints of applesauce on the counter. All sealed. There was a dish leftover for me to enjoy for dessert.

Great job Michele successfully canning all those jams! It's great you use your crabapples for the pectin.

That is a yummy sounding jelly. Will have to look for a recipe.
Yesterday I canned 16 jelly jars of strawberry, and raspberry. I used frozen berries, and my crab apple pectin. Happy to report all have sealed.
All are nice and firm too.

Sylvia, that sounds yummy! What do you use that jelly on? Kind of sounds like it would be good on ice cream.

A little Fannie Flagg trivia. She played Bob Newhart's receptionist on the old Bob Newhart Show. Nothing to do with canning but fun to know. May have to be my age to remember the show.

Don't be so sure Sara. I'm horrible at frying foods.
The book is equally good, if not better, as is usually the case. I listened to the book on tape, and Fannie Flagg read it. She has such a great narrative voice. If your library can find a copy, it may be worth it. |

Lisa, great buy on the Amish 1/2 price sale. Fried green tomatoes done right is one of my favorite foods. Done wrong they're a soggy mess. I have faith that yours will turn out perfect. Didn't read Fanny Flagg's book but did see the movie and loved it. 20 odd years ago in Van Alstyne, TX there was a restaurant called the Whistle Stop Cafe next to railroad tracks. They made the best fried green tomatoes I have ever eaten.

Here's to you Sara!
I am canning green beans, roasted tomatoes, and have a huge batch of tomato soup in the roaster that I will puree and can.
I took advantage of the Amish 1/2 price end of year sale and LOADED up the back of my car. Of course, now I have to DO something with all of it.
Oh and still have green tomatoes in my garden that will need to be picked before tomorrow night. We are expecting a freeze.
May make some fried green tomatoes and think of the movie |
