Canning 2011
I'm sure all of you are just dying to know what I canned this year, right?! Of course you are. But I do keep track, so that I will know what we had in the pantry/freezer, and then I can figure out what we had too much of, and what I need to do more of next year. And if I post it here, I can't lose the sheet of paper that I wrote it on. Not that things like that ever happen.
(Someday I want my pantry to look like Mary's, but I just started canning and I need to work my way up to it!)
Here's what we did this year:
Fruit
Rhubarb
9- 4 cup bags, frozen
Strawberries
Jam: 20 qts, frozen
Sauce: 6 qts, frozen (this is already gone)
Peaches
6 pints jam, frozen
3 qts jam, frozen
Cherries
7-3 cup bags pie cherries, frozen (never enough)
1 batch dried cherries in dehydrator
Apples
13 qts applesauce
4 pints applesauce
(Jam: 23 quarts, 6 pints total)
Other
Green Beans
7- 3 cup bags, frozen (bad green bean crop, this is gone already)
Sweet Corn
39- 3 cup bags, frozen
1- 6 cup bag, frozen
Pickles and Relish
30 qts dill-18 spears, 12 slices (anyone need pickles?!)
6 pints dill relish
2 qts dill relish
10 qts bread and butter slices
Tomatoes
9 batches tomato sauce, frozen
4 qts tomato sauce with ground pork, frozen
29 qts crushed tomatoes
18 pints salsa-12 mild, 6 very hot
1 qt salsa, mild
Random
4- 8 oz jars pureed basil
I still have a lot more applesauce to do, and winter squash/pumpkins, but other than that, my canning season is almost finished, hallelujah!

You must have an extra freezer? I am proud of you for doing all this!
ReplyDeleteOh Becky, that is such a nice comment! Thank you! (And yes, I have an extra fridge/freezer in the basement, plus a chest freezer).
