Mrs tricycle's post today got me thinking: do any of you can?
I do- I LOVE it.
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.
This spring I made chive blossom vinegar.
And once I made fruit leather from our raspberries. SO GOOD!
Have you ever canned anything?

We can and love it. I'd say 75% of the produce we eat is
home grown and canned for the winter months. It's definitely tough at 8months pregnant though...

@Beyond2: I am only 13 weeks - so glad I'm not super pregnant. I'd miss canning!

We've canned pickled vegetables and tried pickles and hope to do more once life settles down a bit more!
We also make our own beef jerky.

I never have, but it's definitely on my list of things to do at least once!

@Beyond2: what do you usually can? I only do tomatoes b/c I'm scared of the pressure canner.

@prettylizy: I did sriracha before, but not the kind you can - just fridge.

DH and I can a lot. 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).
