Thought Id add another--if anyone lives near me and would like to learn to can let me know Ill help you!!
Salsa
7 quart peeled drained paste tomatos
4 cups peppers--I use different kinds of hot, mild
5 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped jalapenos
3 Tlb oragno
2 Tlb chopped cilantro
1 cup lemon juice
2 whole limes squeezed
6 cloves garlic crushed
1 Tlb salt
1 Tlb blace pepper
2 Tlb ground cumin
Combine all ingredience except cumin,oragano and cilantro. Put in large pot and simmer 10 min. Add spices simmer 5 min. Ladle into steril jars with lids and ringa. Process in bubbling water for 20 min.
I dip my tomatos in boiling water then in ice water and peels will slip off easy. Then I put them in a colander to draIN SOME OF THE JUICES before I cook them.

I have never canned...it scares the bajeebers out of me! I am so afraid I'd give someone botulism![sm=icon_smile_yikes.gif]



loveydoveysmom -> RE: Canning recipes?? (4/30/2006 5:43:00 PM)

I only can different jams and tomatoes. I don't want to do veggies or stuff like that because of botulism too.[sm=icon_smile_yikes.gif] If it is done carefully there shouldn't be a problem but I just don't want to.

My favourite is bumbleberry jam.



Kat_D -> RE: Canning recipes?? (4/30/2006 5:49:50 PM)

BTW, Lovey, your baby is absolutley darling!



loveydoveysmom -> RE: Canning recipes?? (4/30/2006 5:52:19 PM)

Goober_JIL -> RE: Canning recipes?? (4/30/2006 11:06:11 PM)

i live in seattle and would love to learn how to can... #1 reason i don't have a garden, most would go to rot before we could eat them



loveydoveysmom -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/1/2006 6:56:42 AM)

I've also canned peaches and pears. The pear recipe has added raspberries in it. It gives the pears a nice pinky colour. Nice and sweet.[sm=icon_smile.gif]

Apple Pie Filling
4 cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch
2 tea ground cinnamon
1/4 tea nutmeg
2 tes salt
10 cups apple juice or water
3 TLB lemon juice
6 pounds apples cored peeled and sliced
In a large pot mix sugar cornstarch and cinnamon, nutmeg. Add salt and juice and mix well bring to boil cook until thick--Remove from heat and add lemon juice.
Have jars sterilized--Have apples ready--Pack apples in jars, Fill jars with syrup, remove air bubbles. Process 20 min in bubbling water bath. This is so yummy and easy to make pies with!!

To make Aprcot-peach pie filling---Per quart do the following--2 TLB tapioca, pinch salt, 1 tsp lemon juice, 2 tea butter, 4 c sliced fruit!!

These are both great in crisp and coblers also[:D]



doinkdom -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/1/2006 11:49:46 AM)

I have helped my mom and granny with canning, but never did any all by myself. Do I need to get one of those big pots specifically for the jars to boil in? Or can it be any pot that will hold the jars?

Also, about those jars - any brand better than another?



charity7 -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/1/2006 12:43:04 PM)

a canner is best--check garage sales I see them all the time at garage sales



gratefulforgrace -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/1/2006 1:50:16 PM)

Also, it depends on what you are canning. A boiling-water canner is fine for high acid foods like fruits, jellies, etc but if you want to do vegetables or meats you'll need a pressure canner. If you don't see those at garage sale they are almost always available on ebay.

Here's something I love to can:

Clam chowder base

1/2 lb diced salt pork
1 cup onion, chopped
3 to 4 quarts cleaned chopped clams with juice
2 quarts diced and peeled potatoes
2 quarts boiling water
salt and pepper

Cook salt pork in large saucepan, drain off excess fat. Add onion and cook until tender. Add clams with juice, potatoes and water. Boil 10 minutes. Season to taste. Process in half pints or pints. Ladle hot chowder base into hot jars, leaving 1 inch headspace. Process half pints and pints 1 hour and 40 minutes at 10 pounds pressure in a pressure canner.


To serve: add 2 TB butter and 2 cups milk to each pint of clam chowder base and heat.

Here's something else delicious. This is nice in gift baskets at Christmas.

Praline Syrup

2 cups dark corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup pecan pieces
1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine syrup and water in a saucepan. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute. Ladle hot syrup into hot jars (half-pint), leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner. This makes about 4 half pints.

I would like to do some jams, jellies and some canned tomatoes.

So, from what I read, tomatoes need the pressure canner.

So, if I want to do both, the a pressure canner would be the way to go. Right?



gratefulforgrace -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/1/2006 1:57:48 PM)

I do my tomatoes in a boiling water canner...I don't think they need a pressure canner. However, if you want to just buy one I'd just get a pressure canner...that way you have it if you need it!



charity7 -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/1/2006 3:46:10 PM)

I wish some of you lived around here --Id share a canner and jars!!



loveydoveysmom -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/1/2006 3:57:35 PM)

I've got what seems like a million different jars all different sizes. If everyone lived close by I give you a ton.

Tomatoes don't need a pressure canner. There acidic enough. Sometimes lemon juice is added depending on the recipe.



charity7 -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/2/2006 6:48:53 AM)

Goober the sauce I shared is a Stewed sauce--I have a seperste Spegetti sauce i make---do you have a sauce you make??



Goober_JIL -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/2/2006 1:25:54 PM)

we use 'prego pasta sauce with fresh mushrooms' as a base

2-3 bay leaves
a (small to overflowing) palmfull of each of the green herbs/spices (not dill weed[:'(])
a medium+ palmfull of curry powder
an onion drawn and quartered and quartered again
a fat fingered pinch of termeric
2-3 cloves of garlic
a medium- palmfull of cumin

then what ever wild hairs hit me

yummmmyyy[:D]



Auben -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/6/2006 8:15:51 PM)

I'd like to see apple sauce and spaghetti/pizza sauce recipes. I just found a hot water one today at a rummage sale.



charity7 -> RE: Canning recipes?? (5/7/2006 8:07:48 AM)

Apple sauce--I make my apple sauce using sweet apples so I dont need to add sugar---wash and quarter apples. cook until soft--I use a victoria strainer to make my sauce--pour soft apples into strainer and crank--applesauce comes out one side and peels come out the other--to flavor add cooked fruit of your choice, cranberries, blueberries strawberries or others---put in jar and bubbling water bath it--yummy!! The pie filling I posted before is good fried in a little butter---Ill post the other recipes later gotta go to church--
