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.

I am working on some salsa today. My tomato plant had tons of ripe tomatoes over the weekend. Everything in my salsa is from my garden which makes me feel even more proud of all the work! I am also planning to can some carrots either later today or tomorrow. This would be my first time canning carrots.

Thanks for the heads up, Michelle. I'll scratch canning french fries off my list.

Karen, always great when all jars seal.
Sara, I freeze french fries. I tried canned, but did not like them as much, they were ok.

Michelle, I am interested in hearing how the dry potatoes turn out. Good job on the hashbrowns, that was a lot of work. I haven't tried canning french fries but I would like to get around to it.
Tara, good job on the tomato sauce.

Every jar counts, Tara. Enjoy
Sara I made hash browns to start with. I used the potatoes that were chewed on or I hit when digging. Peeled, cooked on the stove, and put in the fridge till cold. Then I shredded them, and formed patties and put them in the freezer. Today I will put them in a freezer bag. They sort of hold together, and it works for me. Next I will do 4-5 quarts of dry canned potatoes to try them. I have a big bowl of small potatoes to use for that. I will peel them all too, since they have sat for a week or so. Then later on, I will make french fries and put in the freezer.
I have been freezing tomatoes. I am only getting a few ripe ones at a time. So I will make a batch of salsa with them this week now.

It's cooler here with a week of on and off again light rain.
Today I put up 7 pints of sloppy joes and two didn't seal, could be me because as I was filling the jars & putting the lids on MS fatigue dropped on me. I got it done but let's just say it wasn't pretty.
Having one jar for supper and tomorrow's lunch; the other I'll freeze.

Today I canned 8 pints and 1 half pint of peach jelly! We will be having tons of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches this year!

I have used the dill and bread and butter pickle mixes you buy in a packet and like them both. Quite simple and fast!

Oh goodness that happens. I have made a hamburger dill recipe, in the ball canning book, that my husband likes. I don't like pickles, so I am no help.

Michele, I did leave them in there for awhile, but they tasted like sweet pickles rather than dill. But the recipe said it was for dill. When we all expected dill and it came out sweet, it just tasted wrong lol!

Forgot to say, most times you need to let your pickles sit for a while before tasting. Takes a while to actually pickle.

Yesterday I canned 10 pints of pickled beets, 7 pints of pickled banana peppers, and 3 pints of raspberry jam. I had a half a pint of banana peppers and a half a pint of raspberry jam that went in the fridge for us to eat now. I also have a lot of cucumbers and decided to try one as sliced pickles. I put it in the fridge for us to try before I can them but the verdict wasn't very promising lol. I think I will need to find another recipe.

I believe I have one jar of peach jam left. Just might be going down to grab that for breakfast, yum.
Nancy it is nice to have canned plums on the shelves.
I got another 6 pints of pickled beets yesterday. Along with freezing shredded carrots, zucchini, and broccoli. Oh and one bag of string beans, they are slowing down. Something is eating on my carrots. They chew the around on the top of the carrot. I want to freeze chunked up carrots next, for soups and whatever. Happy Canning everyone.

Take care Sara. Check in when you can, as we all enjoy your thoughts and wisdom and your wit. Lisa it sure helps alot when the weather cools down. We have been cooler for a week now and we do enjoy it. The animals are much happier too. I might go out and pull the rest of the beets today, will see.

I hear you Sara! I have been so non productive, but thankfully we have had highs in the 70's and lows in the low 60's, so I have gotten so much done.
I finally spread some mulch that had been sitting there in the blazing sun Friday. My husband drove by me in the gator and looked at me. I said "Hey it's Aug 1st about time to get the mulch spread!" He said, "I have a feeling this has to do with the cooler weather". Um, yes it does!
Take care Sara! Check in when you can |

Tara and Michelle good job on your canning.
The Texas heat has taken its toll on me this year so, I will not be posting as often but will read your post so I will know what y'all have been up to.
