Great question, I never have, can't wait for the replies!!

I have not, but good question. I have read success stories of people canning sliced green tomatoes, but I would have to find a recipe. I'm sure it's not an approved recipe.

Canned 12 pints of beets last night. They are so pretty canned. Makes me wish I liked them. Hubby loves them.

Calling @Amish Heart seems like she might have mentioned something along these lines.
Tagging both here in hopes of helping.

We are hosting our cidering next weekend. Come on over

I've not freeze dried green tomatoes, but it should work. I've freeze dried red tomatoes.

26.5 qrts. green tomatoe salsa.

I made a sour cherry, citrus, and walnut conserve on … Thursday? Friday? Got about 8 cups, and really it turned out more like a compote than a conserve. Reasonably tasty but I don’t think I’ll do it again — I like my sour cherries just doing their own sour cherry thing better.

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

Cherries and raspberries go well together in jam. Other than that, I like my cherries on their own, as well.

7 pints of tortellini and sauce.

7 pints of tortellini and sauce.

Was it meatless with sauce and what kind of tortellini did you use? Cheese? Sorry, please share your recipe is what I should have been asking.

 

[snappy1]

Actually a mixture of dried mushroom tortellini and cheese/ spinach ravioli. With spaghetti sauce, thinned. Pints pressure canned 35 minutes. One didn't seal, so will try it tomorrow.

I've found some fruit at the bottom of my freezer that I'm going to start making into jam / jellies and sauces. Up today is raspberries.
Also- this is a good book to have if you can source a cheap copy. Below it is the River Cottage one - I think someone here watches the show.

We have been canning our quick meals, the last one was potato leek soup. I think the wife want to do a chicken vegetable soup next, followed by lentils and split pea.

I'm the River Cottage watcher. A good sauce, relish or pickle--be it simple or complex--can really elevate an otherwise bland and boring meal. It can also sneak in some extra nutrients.

Did the pork yesterday. Doing hamburger today.

That stuff is great! Will be making more as I find inexpensive dried tortellini!

 

[Amish Heart]

Maybe I'll try that....just sauce and dried tortellini? I know I have both.
Filled the canner with hamburger meat. It's going now.

Made Lemon curd this morning as I got a bag of lemons for 49c. I sliced some and put in the freezer to go in water as I need them. It's been a while since I made this, so might make more tomorrow to use up the last two.

4 weeks since surgery.
Because of the needles (28 ugh) my belly is a rainbow of colors now and sore
Still sore but not the incision just the muscles in the area
Trying to move more and do more. Been helping a little with meals. Not much but more than I was.
This really kicked my behind.
Hubby still has to help with the dressing me and my shoes and socks because it still hurts to bend over
Been taking the cancer drug and no side effects which is good
When it was warmer I made it out to the back deck to sit in the sun and fresh air
Now its too cold to go out. Wind chill in the 20's

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Cold packing this morning Sweet and Tart Cherry pie filling in pint size jars.
Been trying to clean out my chest freezer with some of the goodies I received last year during summer.
Making spiced walnuts as Christmas candy to go into my gift boxes etc.
Spiced walnuts was one of my candy making lesson plan.

Stopped in at a Costco in southern Utah while doing our spring break trip. They had cases of ball pint jars for $9. I now have a few in the trailer. Why the heck doesn’t my home Costco have them?????

I’d say go online to Costco and order them, with $3 delivery, but it doesn’t seem to work if the zip code for the store closest to you doesn’t have them in stock. Maybe if you used the zip code for that store that does have them it might work.

I just found this somewhere- has anyone done it? I'm wondering if it's real tbh.

Wow, never tried that! Hope someone here has, that's really neat!

That looks like bread that was baked in a can, not a canning jar. Everyone was baking like that in the 80's. Somewhere I have some can caps for the ends that would fit a can that you would buy juice in. Nowadays, though, it's unusual to buy juice in a big can. Although I do have some tomato juice that way.

 

[Bacpacker]

My wife makes Bread in a jar. Just dumps her mixture in a wide mouth jar, bake it, then put a lid on it. It pulls a vacuum as it cools. We've ate these that were 5 plus years old in the jar. Still nice and moist, tasty.

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

Hey Bacpacker....

Why aren't you dead yet? The canning gods say not to do that. You are all going to die from botulism.

PS) I am not dead yet either; I just look like it.
