Summer Canning 2014
So Far --
Dewberry Preserves (3 pint jars) Dewberry Jelly (2 pints and 4 cup jars) Pepper Jelly (4 cup jars) Up Next -- More Pepper Jelly Salsa Roja Salsa Verde Dill Pickles Blackberries in Syrup Blackberry Vinegar Stawberry Preserves (if I can find strawberries that I trust for the right price) Deeper in to Summer-- Peach Butter Figs Spaghetti Sauce Creole Sauce Wild Currant & Lemon Jelly Field Peas More Pickles Later Summer Early Fall Muscadine Jelly Pears in Syrup I'll post quantities as I get them done. I have other things that I want to try but am uncertain if I can grow or acquire the produce for them at this point. If I make them I'll add them to the list. Post your plans and accomplishments, and I'll drool along. Blessings, Kelly

Re: Summer Canning 2015
What a great idea!
I plan to do the following this year: Up next -plum sauce (using fruit from the freezer) -strawberry jam Later in the summer: -raspberry and blackberry jam -apricot jam -peach salsa -peaches -damson plums if I can find a new source (we removed our trees last year) -blueberry chutney End of summer: -diced tomatoes with added veggies (I use this for a base in a lot of soups and stews) If I feel up to it: -beef soup (I have a lot of bones in the freezer that need to be used, and a good recipe for canning beef soup)

Re: Summer Canning 2015
I picked some more early blackberries or dewberries today. I think I'm going to boil these out for juice and then I can decide a bit later if I want to make a blackberry syrup with them or jelly or whatever. I'm really thinking about adapting a strawberry-lemonade concentrate recipe that I have to use with blackberry juice instead of the strawberry pulp.
I am thinking I may not be able to get enough peaches to make peach butter this year. A late winter storm has fairly decimated my local u-pick peach orchard. Sad face.

Re: Summer Canning 2015
canning would be so much easier in a community. I think this often......very often....

Re: Summer Canning 2015
I grew up canning with my mom and grandma. I do a lot of canning alone, but when my mom is around to help, she somehow gets everyone working together. She doesn't live close to me anymore, so now she usually cans with one of my cousins as the fresh fruits and vegetables become available. Canning in community sounds good.

Re: Summer Canning 2015
I had a big bucket of dewberries, lemon juice, honey, and a small jar of lavender sugar. I puzzled a bit and came up with lavender-berry-honey jam. It is some awesome stuff if I do say so myself. 3 pints cooling on the counter as we speak and hoping to make more....

Re: Summer Canning 2014
I'm a canning newbie! I'm going to start with thimble berry jam later this summer. I wanted to make rhubarb-champagne-thimble berry jam but we eat the rhubarb as fast as we can pick it. Note to self--plant more rhubarb.

Re: Summer Canning 2014
I'm going to post the Lavender-Berry-Honey Jam Recipe, if nobody minds. If I don't write it down, I'm going to forget it. I just know it.
6 cups of pureed blackberries or dewberries (about a gallon of fresh berries) 3 cups of local honey 1/2 cup of lavender sugar 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice Combine all ingredients in a heavy pot. Heat over medium heat until boiling. Boil gently, stirring often, until jam sets (about 45 minutes). Test set with a chill test. Fill jars and place lids and rings. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
