Canning List 2010

With the impending shoulder surgery just 2 days away I figured I should get this last bit of documentation up before I forget in my drug induced stupor to get shit done.  I should go and count how many jars of each item I have for a truly accurate number but lets be honest here.... I'm lazy and just getting the list was a heroic effort for me. I've been really busy lately getting dinners cooked and frozen, and other such food staples ready and in the freezer. Jacob doesn't cook, with him working full time all the domestic tasks are my 'job' and I love it. The kitchen is my domain, saying goodnight to my knives on wednesday morning will be difficult for me. I don't give up control easily, I have issues, I know. But I should be able to dictate dinner from the sidelines even if it drives me crazy.




















Here's the 2010 list of dried, canned, frozen glory!

Dried (not including herbs, culinary or otherwise)

Parsnips
Zucchini
Peaches
Cherries
Apples

Canned
I pretty much used Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving, however most of the recipe's I tweaked to my own liking. If they aren't from Ball, then I've tried to include the link to other's pages. Here we go.....

Peach Apple Spice Jelly (left over from pie filling made into jelly)
Peach Apple Pie Filling
Cranberry Sauce
VanillaBean Maple Apple Butter

"medium" Zesty Salsa
Ketchup

  2. What's up with your shoulder? Didn't you have shoulder surgery a while ago, or was that Jake?
    Regardless, best of luck to you on Wednesday.

  3. I like that you tweak the ball canning book recipes...so do we.:) I'm going to look up the roasted garlic balsamic jam, that sounds like something we would really enjoy. You have obviously been very busy in the food preservation department, I enjoyed reading about all that you have canned, dried, and frozen. That is a whole lot of canned food you have on those shelves.

    Good luck with the shoulder surgery...we are sending lots of good wishes your way and hope it goes well for you.

  4. Beth- Thank you! It's been a busy fall that's for sure. The shoulder surgery was supposed to be in Jan 2010 but the doctor had surgery himself, so I postponed mine until after garden season.


    Mr.H.- In the paper back version of the Ball canning book above it's page 127 Roasted Garlic Jelly. They call for white balsamic vinegar but we used brown. It's so good! I intend to make more for gifts (if I can...) Thanks for the well wishes on the shoulder surgery it should go fine and give me plenty of time to heal up before next spring!
