What have you canned or preserved today?

[vfem]

Mary that looks so darn delicious! I roasted some tomatoes like that and canned them all alone. I'm going to do it again today with some chili peppers from the garden & onions for some salsa now. That just makes my mouth water!

That looks delicious and bet it makes the best salsa. I took a lot of roma tomatoes this year, cored and split them in half and took out all jelly and seeds, tossed in olive oil, skin side down on a baking sheet with parchment paper, sprinkled with thin sliced garlic, kosher salt and italian seasonings (one batch was fresh basil) and roasted in a 325 oven I think it took about 2 hours (not til they are dry but just reduced WAY down). Then I cooled them and froze in bags. I can let them thaw and add to pasta dishes, puree for bruschetta, oh the flavor is SO good, my co-workers just couldn't believe how good they were (I forced some to try them and then they realized they were good and wanted me to bring them roma tomatoes LOL)

Two pots of tomatoes cooking on the stove now... Love seeing what everyone is doing in the kitchen!

9 quarts of venison..Whew..glad I worked through that!

After working a very stressful day I came home and put up 9 pints of spaghetti sauce and 8 pints of bread and butter pickles (I'm whooped, somebody smack me). LOL

LOL, while I find canning fun, it's not exactly what I'd call a stress reliever. Good work though!

I call it a stress reliever, too. Going to get another night of not enough sleep because I was packing things into jars. It was so worth it, though. I'll sleep good and not think about my day besides the canning. I started canning about 2 months ago, now, and I'm HOOKED. I might need an intervention.

Tonight I did 2 jars of dilly beans (someone dropped off about a pound of beans, I had no idea what to do with them... never tasted dilly beans before), 3 jars of dill pickles and 9 jars of kosher dill with garlic and jalapenos.

Making 4 pepper garlic hot sauce, raspberry jalapino hot sauce, hanging up a few strands of cayenne to dry, and drying some more herbs.

Hot Pepper Queen "raspberry jalapino hot sauce"??? Now you have me interested as I have raspberries really coming on and still have some in the freezer from last year, still have raspberry jelly and jam, I need that recipe! One questions, I pulled a few jalapeno 2 weeks ago and they weren't hot! What happened to make them not get hot, anybody know?

Same problem here, my peppers are not hot this year. Neighbors have the same problem.
