From the bones of a couple Costco rotisserie chickens and veggie scraps saved in the freezer. Only boiled the bones for a couple hours, so didn’t get as much gelatin out of them as I’d like, but it was getting late. I also thought I had more pint jars, had to put the last bit of stock into a couple quart jars in the fridge....
A batch of ginger & citrus marmalade I made today, plus some ginger tea as a byproduct! https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/b081a7fb-3335-4dc2-9e73-2f2d2858e7fd.jpeg
I canned a few cups of apples this fall. Now that I pull the apples out for some baking, i find that my apples are just barely more firm than applesauce....
Wrote 23 on three jars before realizing.
Pictured is stewed tomato, salsa, spaghet sauce, tomato juice, marinara, ketchup, pickles, cranberries, gooseberry jam and ancient peaches from years gone. All sourced from a pretty modest sized garden. Not shown is sauerkraut and frozen corn https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/cada5fcc-0149-431c-a208-88b88daf7c6c.jpeg
Is there any motivation techniques. We did soooo many gherkins last year. I find myself actively leaving the gherkins out of meals. Even though I used to buy them from shops and have them everyday....
My last batch was from two years ago, so I need to get on it and make more! Hopefully the 20lbs for 15 dollars is still a deal at the roadside stand where I get the apples!
Candied jalapeños from last year! Great with crackers and cream cheese
Attempting to can apples for the first time and I am pretty confident that I filled the can up to the 1/2" point before the headspace starts. But after I pulled them out of the canner I have a good 1" of only liquid that the apples are floating on....
Week by week, my dragon’s hoard grows (there are another 6 quart jars of canned peaches not in the picture)
Just apples, pumpkin, peanut butter and some spices… this was a fun afternoon project, and they turned out delicious! https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/7ca086e0-84a9-4541-976c-b0ce724dacab.webp...
So I’m interested in grinding up some fruits (strawberries or whatever) and just throwing them in a jar and preserving them. Basically I want to make a jam without pectin or sugar. How terrible of an idea is this?
Been wanting an All American for ages, and keeping an eye on local ads finally paid off! Thinking of getting back some precious freezer space and starting off by canning some stock....
(Humble brag intro)...
My cold room. Bottom shelf is dehydrated food, the rest is pickled food and jams....
Hi all, has anyone experienced this? I was just canning chicken broth in my pressure canner, and the overpressure plug blew out, releasing all the pressure. I lost a good 25% of my broth....
Hi all. Does anyone in the community have a good beginners guide? I'd like to learn how to do this and don't have a great resource.
Definitely not recent, but I figured I could help get some content going. So here is my jam shelf from the Covid times. Jam making is a hobby of mine in the summer and I went a little wild with flavors that year since there wasn't anything else to do and I could send them to people....
Didn't see any other channels on canning and food preservation, so I made one.
