Let's get this thread going again! I'm guiltly of cultural appropriation I guess lol. Jarred up today . . . 

Pickled Polish kielbasa and onions. Big Party and Wedding from the shop on the corner. 

Hot n spicy eggs from an Indian recipe.

Pickled red onions from Mexico.

And the flippin best! Korean Kim Chee, "Americanized". I had enough left of my "reserve" to fill two pints for a friend from a crock I've had since '18. Just the funkiest, nastiest, garlic-ginger-red pepper goodness a person could ever ask for.

I dont care what color, persuasion or political thought you believe in. If we can't sit down and break bread together with something soaked in vinegar we have no hope!

 

Are you pressure canning the sausage and eggs?

No. Both are what you'd call refrigerator recipes I guess. Prepare food, cool completely, into jars and store in the fridge. Last time I checked the USDA didn't recommend pressure canning eggs due to the risk of salmonella (?). Not sure how that squares with the gallons of pickled eggs I see for sale in stores but anyway . . . 

Feel free to PM me for the recipes. Both are very simple and very good!

My wife pressure canned some meat sauce after 2 days cooking it down in roasters. All but the pork ribs came of our little farm.

Up to 7 quarts of bread&butter pickles.  Wishing I had planted beets when I should have.  I would eat pickled beets 7 days a week.

I’m a little disappointed that I couldn’t put more jars away of pickled jalapeños (cowboy candy) this year. Part of the problem is I got one twin who eats them with almost every meal…on his egg sandwich, his burger, on top of grilled chicken…kids killing my stash!!!!
He also ate a cucumber a day (not counting the cukes that go in the nightly salad). Barely any left for pickles!!!
Guess that’s why we have a garden!

Did some banana peppers with a few Hungarian peppers to add some heat today.

Did cowboy candy for the first time a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, the woodchucks decimated most of my garden this year.

I guarantee my kid ate more of my cowboy candy than the woodchucks!!!!

We just finished up cutting, peeling, and crushing up 75#'s of tomatoes. They're simmering for the rest of the night and will simmer for about another 6 hours tomorrow before they get jarred up.

Been wanting to do this for years.  Assuming you bought them where did you get the bushels?

Hard pass….sorry. 

[stubborn1VT]

I did a big azz tree job for some nice folks.  Gave them a good deal on the tree which was close to their house/deck, chicken coop and propane tank.  Had to rope and pull and cut and chip and haul.  They gave me a grocery bag of golden beets, so I'll be pickling up a quart or three tomorrow.

We got them at Black Horse Farm in Athens, they were $20 for a 25# box. We usually get or canning tomatoes at Shauls in Fultonham but, we just had to much going on to get out there.

Good to know.  Athens isn't too far from me and I’m up that way pretty often doing outdoor stuff.

2 pints cowboy candy. Working on 2 pints of pickled okra. Pics to come.

[REDNECK4LIFE32]

10 quarts of canned tomatoes 6 in pressure cooker now 4 to go.

Made chicken soup yesterday for my gf. Two quarts and five pints (she took one pint before I got a pic). She likes to take a pint to work for lunch. She likes just chicken, celery and onions. I added some poultry seasoning on a whim and it darkened it up some. It was good. Best part is she likes it alot and thinks I'm a genius chef haha. I lied a little bit and said I slaved over it.

Thanks for posing this pic. I had an "aha" moment when I saw it. My AAC does not have the weighted pressure release on the top like yours. It only has a pressure gauge and a flip type pressure release (its old). So when I run it I have to mess with the heat some to get it to settle in around 11#'s. I see how the system on yours would be easier to run. Thanks again for the pic.

And FWIW, I used a new-to-me type of jar lid for this canner run. They're from China, purchased on Amazon by the gf. They are definitely thinner than your standard Ball brand lid but they were inexpensive and everything I ran yesterday sealed nicely. I know local supplies can get limited at this time of the year so this might be an alternative to someone if they get in a bind.
