Canning this year?

[GreenEnvy22]

Did 25 Liters/quarts today of tomato sauce.
I think this will be The last big canning day of the year, unless someone drops off more produce.

Now to prepare for wine making season, and a new baby in 3 weeks.

End of September or beginning of October? Sorry, have to ask, I have this thing about babies, kittens and puppies.

Due Oct 7, but they are planning to induce last week of September.

Didn't can any tomatoes this year. They didn't do well. Good thing I have tons left from last year and year before. I will be concentrating on chicken, beef and pork. I have 10 jars of chicken stock done from carcasses. Yes I use pressure canners on a glass top stove. Actually 2 at a time most times. I had 3 going it one time once. 2 big ones and my little one. That was kind of tight but it worked.

I like the diamond back splash there, would be a lot easier to keep clean.

Famer John - I use pressure canner on a glass top too with no issues. But...I do most of my canning out on the deck with my grill which has a nice side burner. Keeps from throwing all that heat into the house. A friend of mine uses his turkey fryer burner since his grill does not have a side burner.

Pressure canned 11 half-pints of hatch chilis. It was a half full paper grocery bag, after roasting it was a 6 qt kettle full, after peeling and deseeding it was a large food processor full, and then into 11 half-pints. Yay, glad to have gotten that done and I'm looking forward to how they taste in so many dishes-with cheese sauce, in fried eggs, in fried rice, layered in casseroles, topping off nachos. Thanks beth.


I will have another batch to go next week.

Last few days we made 2 of the 18 qt roasters of tomatoes made into ketchup. Then two roasters of tomatoes into a thick sauce. Then I canned red and green bell peppers. Today will be 10 qts of thick tomato sauce.

Bethzaring, I made some of the hatch chili enchilada sauce, it is quite zippy. Thanks for the recipe. I really like it. I even made some bell pepper enchilada sauce for the non-hot lovers here.
