Starting Fresh


  • The time has come to clear out lasts years (pitiful) canning list, and begin with this years. No fruits and veggies yet, but
  • about 75 lbs. of meat have been jarred and processed, thanks to my Brilliant B.'s suggestion "Why not do that now
  • before produce season?" Oh yeah. Duh. So, last years for remembrance sake, and a new one started in my side bar.
  • I need more jars.

  • 3 quarts Ham and Potato Soup
  • 3 quarts Basil Tomato Sauce
  • 2 pints Southwest Salsa
  • 6 pints Sweet Garlic Dill Pickles
  • 4 pints Sweet Relish
  • 5 quarts Herbed Green Beans
  • 16 pints Pizza Sauce
  • 8 half pints Cherry Jam
  • 10 half pints Spiced Strawberry Jam
  • 9 quarts Pineapple,Peaches,& Pears
  • 8 half pints Blueberry/Raspberry Jam
  • 7 pints and 1 quart Zesty Dill Pickles
  • 7 half pints Habanero Jam
  • 11 half pints Strawberry Jam

Great job, Bonnie! :) This is going to be my first year for canning! :) Do you have a good pizza sauce recipe that you can share?

Love the dandelion bouquets! I've started getting a few of those as it just started warming up here! :)

Can I email or something for your address? I really want to send some snail mail! :)

Awesome job Bonnie! Especially impressive since you were as pregnant as I was when you were doing it all!

Brilliant idea about canning meat now before the mad rush happens. I INTENDED to do it over the winter to warm up the kitchen. WHERE did the time go?!?

Well, since you and Tracy are doing it, I guess I better get my rear in gear and clean out my sidebar too. I asked Tracy and now I want to ask you too: what was your favorite of the canning list and what was your biggest disappointment?
