I freeze our jalapeños whole, canned mint jelly,, made peach freezer jam, dill pickles, squash pickles, sweet and spicy tomato preserves, a quart of tomatoes, salsa, and applesauce, so far. I am going to do more applesauce and canned peaches, and probably more tomatoes, later this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247904 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:02:56 +0000 regberadaisy 247904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: what did you do with the summer squash? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247902 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:01:54 +0000 regberadaisy 247902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep meaning to do it more but haven't yet. With m here now I think we def will. I also plan on puréeing in season items now for her.<br /> We have tins of veggies from our garden we need to can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247893 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 09:51:31 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 247893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: It's on the "tackle someday" list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247862 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 08:53:22 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 247862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: you should try canning the jam, it's super easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247831 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 08:07:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 247831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got tons of tomatoes to jar. They are all heirlooms and I'm super excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247830 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 08:05:12 +0000 yoursilverlining 247830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started making "summer food" purees for LO (which she'll be able to eat this winter). So far I've got garden pea, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry. Also going to make summer squash and peach.</p> <p>Also froze fruit for us grownups to enjoy this winter too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247824 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 07:58:13 +0000 twodoghouse 247824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done this, but I'm thinking of trying to make some pickles this year. The cucumbers in our garden are going crazy and we can't eat/give them away fast enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247798 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 07:22:08 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 247798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got 10 things of raspberry jam in the freezer - the only thing holding me back from having a huge stash is a lack of freezer space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-preserving-food-this-summer#post-247734 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 23:15:59 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 247734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got 5 sheets of raspberries in the freezer and 7 pints of raspberry jam on the go. I love preserving food! I love buying it cheap and non-sprayed in the summer and eating it all winter long.</p> <p>Who's with me? I can't be alone in my squirrel-like ways. </p>
