My Canning List

Published on June 24, 2011 By Emily. Updated on June 24, 2011

Summer means a lot of different things to different people.  For myself and many of my friends, it means canning.  As you may recall, I got into canning late last summer when Cynthia showed me what it was all about, shortly after Julie had shown her.  Well, Cynthia and Julie have both already published their first canning posts of the season, so I thought I’d join in.

The following is a list of recipes I’d love to can this summer.  I’m sure I won’t get to everything and may even lose interest in some, but it’s a start.

From Better Homes and Gardens You Can Can!: A Visual Step-by-Step Guide to Canning, Preserving, and Pickling:

  • home canned tomatoes
  • pickled green beans (made last year and loved)

  • apple sauce (attempted last year and failed, as seen below)

  • spiced apple rings (made last year successfully)
  • brandied pears
  • dill pickles
  • peach chutney
  • tomato-basil jam
  • raspberry jam

Also…

  • pear & ginger preserves

  • pear vanilla jam
  • peach butter (made last year successfully)
  • blueberry jam

Anyone have any suggestions they want to add?

    You know I’ll always have more to add. I am finishing my strawberry maple smush today :-)

      Let me know if you stumble on anything good–and I want a copy of your blueberry jam recipe!

    Yay canning!

    A few years ago I got really into making freezer jams, which take very little time, and just require freezer space. I have one or two recipes on my blog, and plan to include more this year. I tend to stick to a few of my favorites: black raspberry jam, squash butter, and apple butter.

      Strangely enough, I’d just as soon make “regular” jam as freezer jam. We don’t have a very large freezer here and it seems to generally be pretty full. Getting a chest freezer for things like freezer jam and humanely raised meat is high on my list of priorities for when we get a house!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
