Jams, Jellies and Butters...

This is my first year canning, and I think I might be addicted.

Big batches-
Plum preserves from my neighbor's tree
Watermelon Jelly
Pickled Watermelon rinds
Apple Sauce
Strawberry Jam

Mini-batches-
Apple Butter
Pear Butter
Tomatoes
Pickled cherry tomatoes
Cherry Jam

What else should I try?

I dunno.  Grape jelly or jam, strawberry jelly or jam, fills the bill for franksolich, who gets them at the grocery store.

Easier, cheaper, quicker, and cleaner.

If it's home-made, franksolich prefers corn-cob jelly, a prairie delicacy that for some reason never gets onto shelves of grocery stores.

1. did you make your apple butter with cider?

I'm sitting on about ten pounds of apples and have a LOT of applesauce already. Was thinking about making apple butter; the vintage New England cookbooks call for cider in the recipe.

4. not for this batch...

I just used a mix of reds, galas, grannys and the few nasty little ugly apples that have dropped from my own trees already (bad spots removed).

4 cups applesauce (just apples and a little water to get them started)
2 cups sugar
2 t. cinnamon
1 t. nutmeg
1 t. cloves
1/8 t. cardamom (instead of the allspice the recipe listed.)

I doubled the batch and used the crock pot to cook it down. y***y

2. how about some spiced apple rings?

They are a great accessory to a Thanksgiving platter.

That's really odd; the pie-and-jam primitive does Thanksgiving, yet one of her best friends, the now-gone Mrs. Alfred Packer the hippywife primitive, doesn't do Thanksgiving, because hippyhubby Wild Bill doesn't want God in the house.

5. Do you make them?

I remember the red ones from the jar. I haven't seen them since I moved to the West Coast? Do you have a tried and true recipe....Now I have to google...

7. Oh yessss!

I haven't had those in years  Just picked the apples from my 1 good tree, they are HUGE. I really don't think most would fit into a jar. I might have to use pieces.

I think the tree tapped in to a spring cause some of the biggest have water core even though we haven't had rain for 2 months. on the plus side they are super sweet

9. The world is your Mason Jar . . .

My name is LTH and I'm a serial canner . . .

This year:
pickled peppers
raspberry preserves
blackberry port jam
blackberry preserves
carrots
tomatoes
green beans
mango jelly
plums
potatoes
salsa
marinara sauce
peaches
bread and butter pickles

After 40 years of canning I finally actually bought a really good book about canning and contained recipes of things I had no idea you could can. The book: "Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving."

It includes a huge amount of information not only canning but freezing and drying foods.

Just delicious.

I'm guessing that DUmmy grasswipe Judy's ample ass would easily cover fifteen pounds of apples, with the pressure quickly rendering them into applesauce.

You know, that went right over my head, "sitting on."

A most unfortunate subconscious faux pas by the pie-and-jam primitive.
