I was feeling pretty good about making a batch of pickled beets, pickling a bushel of small cukes in various ways. I am in awe of those who have done all kinds of veggies, fruits, jams and sauces - my hat is off to you!! Enjoy.

I love doing it though and love the fresh taste in the winter and also "knowing" where your food comes from...Would love to do some fruit, but depends on how long peaches are in, will probly do pears in a few weeks and then applesauce, yum, can't wait! :wink:

Does anyone have a recipe for pickles that we used to just put in the jars with water and spices and then turn the jars over everyday? My father also used to make pickles in a crock, but I liked the ones in the jars and they were easy to make.

Well, I have canned more this year than I ever have before. Mostly because my freezer is full of beef. DH got me a pressure canner for my Bday in July, so I have put it to good use. I have canned green and purple beans, bread & butter pickles, dill pickles, dill relish, zucchini pickles, peach elderberry jam, and plum jam. I still have tomatoes, corn, elderberries, beets, and maybe peaches to go and hoping for blackberries. :D
