I just finished a batch of 18+ jars of marmalade. In the past I posted live updates of marmalade making, but this year it's just the final results. I wasn't able to get enough Seville oranges this year, so I added some Olinda (heirloom Valencia) oranges and some Meyer lemon juice. It still tastes great, though less fragrant than the absolute best pure Seville marmalade I've made in the past.

Today I learned:

https://canningdiva.com/the-history-of-home-canning-and-preserving-food/

My oven is broken and I was dying for a pumpkin spiced something. I have a big counter top turkey roaster so I figured.. ha! I also wanted to make it so my daughter could eat it so I created a gluten and dairy free cake using certified gluten free rolled oats:
Dry:
4 cups of freshly pulverized oats into flour (measure after you take it out of the blender)
2 cups unrefined organic cane sugar
1 tsp each of cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp each of whole allspice smashed in a mortar and pestle, and salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Wet:
2 cups of pumpkin puree (from the freezer from last year's jack o' lantern)
1 pint of home canned applesauce (trying to use up last year's)
1/2 cup of oil
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla

Mix all together really well then let sit for a few minutes to hydrate the oat flour.
I put this into an angel food pan because it fit well on the rack inside my turkey roaster but wow, did it take a long time to bake, at least an hour and a half or longer. I was testing it every 10 minutes for the last 40 minutes or so at 350 degrees. Next time, I will bake it in a 9 x 13 instead, which also fits in the turkey roaster. It makes a very soft, moist, crumbly cake. We have been devouring it this afternoon. It would be amazing with cream cheese icing... but dairy... so it is unadorned.

Today I tried my hand at steam canning. Not sure if it’s going to seal up all the way to safely preserve, but at least I made a valiant attempt.

this year's mix of varieties is making a beautiful colour!! And quite tasty. #fruit #home #family #grapes #juice #homecanning #preserving

It's grape juicing season! This time with three types of grapes! A big family occasion. I probably have another dozen jars to do tonight with this tub of grapes!

Yesterday and today was spent processing my tomatoes from this growing season, and making and then canning sauce for the year. I’ve got the first batch out of the canner and the second one currently going. #SavingTheHarvest #HomegrownTomatoes #VegetableGardening #HomeCanning

The strawberry honey butter is not runny lmao

"A half pint jar of strawberry honey butter, opened with a teaspoon resting across the opening. The teaspoon has a mound of fruit butter on it"

#homecanning #cooking

Today on Rebekah does #cooking or #canning or #homecanning (and Rebekah forgets what tags she used last time) I've made strawberry honey butter! Butter like how apple butter is butter, so no dairy, a fruit spread!

Someone suggested that I take the candied jalapenos I made, and instead of #homecanning them we could dehydrate them. Interesting idea.

Have #cooking shoved in here because the candied jalapenos would be cooked in the liquid then dehydrated

Okay did some #cooking and #homecanning and made 12 candied jalapeños (or cowboy candy, but that's trademarked)

All popped and so are sealed as far as I can tell visually and audibly.

Feel bad but tomorrow I will do some #homecanning and make candied jalapeños

Still waiting, but they'll wait another day or so because I'm tired--I grew lots of peppers! Going to make this relish https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/sauces/hot-pepper-relish/ with a mix of the sweet and ancho chilis I grew, pickled pepperoncinis, and my Fresno chilis are also going gangbusters so I may make sriracha https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/hot-sauces/homemade-sriracha-hot-sauce-recipe/.

Besides all those pickled zucc, I made 5 pints of eggplant caponata (from this recipe https://www.themediterraneandish.com/caponata-recipe/ ) because one of the zucchini/squash donors also had a lot of Japanese eggplant, and 2 pints of pickled tomatillos because those plants are so so so prolific! Using a new pickling spice blend https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/pickled-peppers/pickling-spice-for-pickled-peppers/

Holy food preservation, Batman! I can't even fit all the production into one post. Thanks to my Buy Nothing folks responding with glee to my ask for veggies I made ~35 pounds of zucchini/summer squash into pickles. Lost a couple of quarts to bottom blow-out of the jars in the canning bath, dang it, but finished yield was:
Qt: 3
1.5 pint: 8
Pint: 13
But wait, there's more...

Expert home canning folk, I want to make this recipe https://larderlove.com/cranberry-gin-jam/ to use boozy cranberries from making their cranberry gin last year for gifts. Asked about hot water canning and they said it isn't done in UK/Europe and the preserves keep without it. Your thoughts and recommendations? (And why don't they use this process? Oven canning instead?) I'm inclined to treat it like jam, process for 10 minutes. #cooking #food #recipes #canning #HomeCanning #preserves #PreservingFood

First batch of hot sauce is done! I am working on a new recipe (my others have been strongly popular, judging by my site stats), and I made 4 litres of this today. It has #amaryllatomatillo and #sugarrushpeach #hotpeppers as a base, with peaches to make it taste like sweet and spicy pie.

I have a few tweaks for the next run, but am pretty satisfied with "entry level heat" sauce. I prefer mine spicier, but I think even my spouse can manage this one. 😂🤷‍♂️

#backyardharvest #homecanning #hotsauce #hotsauce2023

Its an exciting time of year in the garden, baskets of tomatoes most days, lots of peppers and herbs. Made 8 quarts of tomato sauce over the weekend, now canned and on the shelf. Looking forward to tasty dinners ahead.

The beans I recently planted are a few inches tall and doing well, fall carrots are starting to spourt. Okra is about a foot tall and thriving.

Does anyone know if there are European standards for home canning? I have searched but can't find any information on this subject. #askFedi #askFediverse #homeCanning #homeCooking

7 more pints today :)
These ones are much riper than the first harvest.

Cherries are pitted, now to make the syrup and put them in the jars!
