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)

IMG_3275

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

Also…

  • pear & ginger preserves

IMG_3180

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

Anyone have any suggestions they want to add?

      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!

Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring a sitter for a rare night out. We went to dinner at @publicna and took advantage of the opportunity with drinks, appetizers and dessert.

It was no surprise that Public was close to full on a Wednesday night - everything was so good.

For the fourth year, I've recapped the best new (to me) recipes I made this year in the hope that they'll give you some new dishes to try. This year's list is short, but delicious. It includes @budgetbytes My Favorite Recipes of 2022
Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
