We have a vegetable garden in our yard and try to can as much as we can from that plus we sharecrop with some friends and can from that. We've canned jams and jellies, pickles, spaghetti sauce, salsa, pesto, soups, and pork loin (probably the most unusual for me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-can-preserve-dry-etc#post-233902 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:51:14 +0000 dagret 233902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I did sriracha before, but not the kind you can - just fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-can-preserve-dry-etc#post-233901 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:50:49 +0000 dagret 233901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: what do you usually can?

I'd say 75% of the produce we eat is<br /> home grown and canned for the winter months. It's definitely tough at 8months pregnant though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-can-preserve-dry-etc#post-231601 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 19:32:34 +0000 mrs. bird 231601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but I'd love to try it someday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-can-preserve-dry-etc#post-231593 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 19:17:20 +0000 dagret 231593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs tricycle's post today got me thinking: do any of you can? </p> <p>I do- I LOVE it. </p> <p>I have canned peaches, tomatoes, applesauce, raspberry jam, peach jam, jalapeño jam, basil and pepper jam (so good on turkey sandwiches that I can't eat now that I'm pregnant...) and attempted pickled peppers and salsa verde but I didn't like how they turned out. </p> <p>This spring I made chive blossom vinegar. </p> <p>And once I made fruit leather from our raspberries. SO GOOD! </p> <p>Have you ever canned anything? </p>
