Canning Recap 2010

October 19, 2010

I believe that I’m officially done canning this year (please ignore the pears processing behind me). This is the most canning I’ve done – ever! I’ve discovered that I’m quite a fan of it, obsessed might be a better word. You know canning exhilarates you when you start looking into buying a pH meter for food and continue begging your Hubby for a pressure canner for Christmas. There is only one thing left on my to-do list: orange marmalade. I’m waiting for those Seville oranges to come out, but I don’t even know if I can buy them up here. Anyways, here is a list of what I’ve put up this spring, summer and autumn. I’m posting it as a record so that I have something to refer to next year. Did you try canning this year? I’d love to hear what you put up (that includes you too SIL).

Applesauce: 6 quart, 6 pints

Oh wow Josee!! That is amazing!!! I have zero canning done this year 🙂 Its on my 'learn to do' list, along with quilting. Did you find it confusing or daunting before you began?

Hope you all really enjoy the deliciousness of all your hard work! 🙂

I have been thinking I need to do a comprehensive list too. Maybe that's what I will do during naptime today.

It really is an obsession isn't it? You know it's bad when you start dreaming about canning and wake up freaking out because you think you forgot to take your last batch of applesauce out of the canner.

OH! I found a pressure canner! Two actually!! I'm so excited, I am going to try and do stock some time soon.
