Canning Star!

Bill has been a canning king this past week. He said that school is out for a short time (where he works), and his home kitchen will be torn up starting this week (remodeling), so he had to get it all done this week! Here's what he canned:

--32 pints Bread and Butter Pickles
--18 pints Kosher Dills
--9 1/2 pints Italian Meatballs
--3 pints Beef Broth with onions
--10 1/2 pints Mexican Salsa
--9 1/2 pints Chunky Salsa
--19 pints Spicy Hot Chunky Salsa
--11 pints Pickled Jalapenos
--7 pints Jalapenos (nacho style)
--11 pints Spaghetti Sauce

He didn't have time to take pictures, but you get the "picture" nonetheless! He was a busy man!

Canning Star!

Bill has been working hard as you can see! Over two Saturdays (all the while his back was out and his finger injured) he canned the following:

--17 1/2-pints of Peach Melba Jam
--4 quarts + 3 pints Pickled Eggs
--11 pints baby carrots
--7 quarts of red and Russet potatoes
--11 pints Italian Meatballs (recipe tomorrow)

Way to go, Bill!

Canning Star!

My friends, Barbara, and her husband, Doug, went to our canning seminar last month and caught the canning bug! Doug has been tending their fruit trees for the last few years and brought the harvest in for Barbara to put up. Barbara only knew how to make jam, but Doug wanted more! He wanted some of the fruit canned for eating later. Barbara didn't know how to can the fruit, so Doug was out of luck. That is, until they attended our canning seminar! Barbara has been canning up a storm ever since! As you can see she has canned 17 quarts of apricots (5 bags have been frozen to make jam later), 12 quarts of plums, salsa and dill pickles! She is an inspiration for all. She is waiting (impatiently!) for her pressure canner to arrive and will begin canning meats and meals.

The second session of "Canning Seminar 2009" will be held at the Fresno East Center on Saturday August 8th @ 8am.
