I'm considering canning an external auditor. Does that count?

Why do they call it canning when you put the stuff in jars?

If I can't feeze it, it doesn't happen...so I freeze blueberries, tomatoes, sometimes freezer pickles, peppers, onions, herbs [ones that I don't dry, which is rare] I converted my big standup freezer to a storage cabinet, so I don't even freeze much of the above...mostly the blueberries

My mother used to freeze, but she never canned. I'm pretty sure she was afraid of the pressure cooker, too. She would freeze beans, corn, strawberries, etc.

We have a huge garden, I can beans, tomatoes, banana peppers, pickles, potatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and I make/can my own salsa which I might add is amazing! I don't can sweet corn only freeze it canning ruins the flavor makes it taste like canned corn you buy at the store not sweet corn anymore I know weird!!!
I have a herb garden I dehydrate and freeze my herbs depending on what they are. I love this time of year!

Why do they call it canning when you put the stuff in jars? "Jarring" is reserved for pickup trucks that need new shocks.

We picked up a 20 lb box of apricots this weekend. I'm going to make some jam and I'm thinking some fruit leather.

We picked up a 20 lb box of apricots this weekend. I'm going to make some jam and I'm thinking some fruit leather. A friend gave me a box of apricots last year. I canned most in a light syrup and the rest I made into Apricot Jalapeno Jam and it turn out to be the hit of the year. I serve it over cream cheese with crackers. Made great gifts in a basket with a pretty towel and or with a pretty appetizer dish and one of those dip knife serving thingies. Oh, appetizer or cheese spreader maybe?

I will teach my neighbor about canning this year. Annually, my husband and I picked strawberries, blueberries, red and black raspberries and then froze them (we invested in a good upright freezer) and/or made preserves. We grew and froze yellow and green beans, Brussels sprouts, red and regular cabbage and kale. We ate fresh off the vine tomatoes all summer and froze some, too. We canned bread and butter pickles, baby carrots, pickled beets. I will miss doing this with my recently departed husband this year but I look forward to passing on the fun and satisfaction one gets canning all those wonderful goodies.
We made tomato sauce a few years in a row. All those hours! All that mess! Tasted great but a lot of work for 12 quarts of sauce. Not sure I will do that again but I do make great green tomato ketchup.

My sister will can home made spaghetti sauce sometimes - and puts pureed carrots into it without telling my niece. It's a way to get a vegetable into her.

RR Joker: Yup, there are black raspberries. They are often confused with blackberries but, in fact, are smaller (like their red cousins) and the seeds are not as large as blackberry seeds. They taste a bit sweeter, as well.

Would love to have the peach bread recipe! I plan on canning some more this year as well. So far this year I have done a few jars of pickled jalapenos and zesty zucchini relish and have shredded and frozen tons of zucchini for future zucchini bread as well. Looking forward to when the tomatoes come in so I can do some diced tomatoes and salsa.

Truffle... that is a fantastic recipe. I wonder if I could try the puree with a different fruit? My husband despises peaches... and tomatoes. Guess I can't complain, since it's only those 2 things. (although I love both of those!)
