#canningseason — Public Fediverse posts

Not only did I can for the first time ever, but I made kiwi jam and kosher style dill green tomato pickles. I also made canning labels with my Cricut and inkjet printer with print then cut.

Am so excited!!

Adding to my canstravaganza resume: Making this tomatillo/lime jam with the addition of some jalapeños, which should be tasty. This will use up some of the 11.5 lbs. of tomatillos I froze fall 2023. https://patijinich.com/tomatillo_and_lime_jam_1/?
Some will go into this green tomato/tomatillo chutney since I also have frozen green tomatoes. https://brooklynfarmgirl.com/green-tomato-and-tomatillo-chutney/

Recipe recommendation: Pickled Fennel Agrodolce https://www.milkwood.net/2015/10/09/pickled-fennel-agrodolche-storing-the-season/. I made this 3+ years ago when I didn't want to waste a bunch of fennel stalks. Kept it on the shelf, no hot canning, and it's perfectly good today. Just used it to make this WaPo cabbage, fennel, white bean soup (gift link https://wapo.st/3D0vL8K).

Canstravaganza! Canapalooza! Canathon! I canned a lot--as in, a LOT--of things last fall and into this year. Capturing my list of recipes and yields and remembering the joys of simmering jams and chutneys. https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2025/02/canstravaganza-food-preservation-2024.html

Final recipe: Blackberry Roasted Plum Preserves https://www.southernfatty.com/blackberry-plum-preserves/. Gleaned the blackberries, got plums from my Buy Nothing group. 8 c. blackberries, 4 c. plums, 6 c. sugar (reduced by 25%), juice/zest 2 lemons = 8 1/2-pints, 8 1/4 pints.
So many of both I'll also make some fruit leather. #CanningSeason #FoodInJars #blackberries #berries #canning #FoodPreservation #food #recipes #RecipeOfTheDay #plums #preserves #recipes

Next up in today's winter canning to make the kitchen smell like summer on a snowy winter day, raspberry jam from berries I grew https://creativecanning.com/raspberry-jam/. 4-1/2 lbs. raspberries became 7 1/4-pints, 7 1/2-pints.

Time to make room in the freezer by turning last summer's harvest into jams & preserves. First up, tayberry jam https://www.chefheidifink.com/blog/seasonal/tayberry-jam/. ~2 gallon bags of tayberries I grew turned into 11 1/4-pints, 6 1/2-pints. When you have a big freezer every season is #CanningSeason. #FoodInJars #tayberries #berries #canning #FoodPreservation #food #recipes #RecipeOfTheDay #ja m

First time trying out one piece canning lids! I've already had several very satisfying pings.

The Food in Jars post on this indicated it may take longer than with two-piece canning lids to get that ping. https://foodinjars.com/blog/canning-101-how-to-use-one-piece-lids/

Note to self: You know better than to start cooking chutney for canning in the late afternoon!

16 half pints and 14 quarter pints of green tomato chutney later.... (I'm not actually done canning yet)

It's so nice to get home and not have tomatoes staring at me.

I always start out #CanningSeason so gung-ho about the idea of laying food by for later, and end up tired of looking at jars and produce.

I will 100% forget this feeling by next summer, and probably by February when I do the citrus stuff. For now, however, I'm just going to enjoy myself a grilled cheese, with some of the ketchup I made, and go to bed at a reasonable hour for me.

Another long day tomorrow.

Canstravaganza! A view of part of the shelving in my garage dedicated to my canning output.

Last night I got strange spasms in my left hand that went clear up my forearm. I attribute it to an entire weekend of food prep, holding heavy pans with my left hand so I could do things with my right, general overuse. My husband had to uncurl my contracted thumb slowly and hold it out to end the worst spasms.

Today's adventures in canning, courtesy of free bags of windfall pears from someone who put them by the curb:

Pear Cinnamon Jam (reduced sugar by 1 c and cinnamon by 1 t, added 3/8 t cardamom) https://foodinjars.com/recipe/pear-cinnamon-jam

Salted Caramel Pear Butter, still in the slow cooker https://www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=salted-caramel-pear-butter.

Ahead, Pickled Pears, https://headspacecanning.blogspot.com/2011/10/spiced-pickled-pears.html + https://fivestarrecipe.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/spiced-pickled-pears-adventures-in-pickling-vol-4/.

A poem for those of us who are deep into garden harvest and food preservation season: "On the Cusp of Equinox" by Joan Mazza https://oneartpoetry.com/2024/08/31/on-the-cusp-of-equinox-by-joan-mazza/. Excerpt:

"Summer ends with a chill over the garden,
breath of coolness to make the spinach
and lettuce happy. I pick another bucket
of tomatoes, more chewed each harvest,
and welcome the wildlife to this messy table"

(This is going to take a while since I'm photographing it as I do it.)

➡️ Step 2. Rinse them in plain water.

➡️ Step 3. Cut the woody part out (the pedicel, the part where it joins the to the vine) and any spots.

➡️ Step 4. Place on a (non-stick ideally) roasting tray.

I put whole tomatoes on one tray for roasting and partial tomatoes on a separate tray for pizza sauce.

Yes! We are going to roast the tomatoes. Not only do roasted tomatoes taste better than plain blanched tomatoes, they slip nicely out of their skins over the jar and you don't have to do the whole Xing thing and peel them.

Spent the last two weekends picking #crabapples and making #jelly, sauce, chutney, syrup...

There are dozens of jars.

Our neighbours are going to be visited by the #crabapple fairy very soon and everyone we know is getting apple something for Christmas.

I have never managed to pick exactly the right number of jars for the produce being made before (when I have been winging the recipe, that is).

All these decades of #canning and there are still firsts for me.

(Homemade plum sauce to go with homemade egg rolls and more! I am very happy with how it turned out.)
