What have you canned or preserved today?

Das, that's awesome. I am YET to do beets, but I'm thinking about it for next year.

Tonight I jammed 6 1/2 pints of lavender jelly.

I also had to REDO a batch of watermelon jelly that didn't set the first time, UGH!

I also posted the recipe on how to fix that on my blog, in case anyone needs the recipe if they have an oopsy!

Unset Jam... Runny Jelly...?
 
Picked a little over a half of gallon of green beans late last night. Hopeing to pick more in the next couple of days to can :)
 
brad, do you remember how many ounces you planted? I used to plant Jade and had great luck with them most of the time. Now I can't do the stooping required to pick bush beans, not for that long at a time. I'm glad for your fantastic harvest!:woot
 
Picked some black currents at a friends house over the weekend. Made some juice last night so that I can make some current jam. It is quite a beautiful color and I can only imagine the Native Americans using these black currents to dye fabric and the likes.

OK You're on! I made the mistake of keeping it in a white ceramic bowl too! So it is quite likely that I will now have a white and purple ceramic bowl. I will take pics tonight. :D
 
try putting some lemonade in that bowl and leaving it awhile. Citric acid is supposed to help clean stains off of ceramic and porcelain :cool:
