Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

We experimenred with our mater's this year. Did a mid summer plant to harvest in the fall and avoid the heat. We will see.
Last year right when harvest time the heat came and stopped them.
We will see the outcome...

Strong work Judman. We don’t do beets. Neither my wife or I eat them.
Canning venison is very versatile, especially for quick dinners. Tougher meats cuts get pretty tender that way as well. Plus it saves freezer space for important things like backstrap!
Can stew meat Or burger, and can onions, peppers, carrots( whatever you like)
Throw together and heat up. Quick easy dinner
Never canned bacon, although it sounds interesting. Post pics when your done
Kaleb, got too busy yesterday but I ain’t forgot you. Will post recipe today

We will see the outcome... Picked our first 4 last night, & dug up 1 mound of taters. **Sorry for hijack, but I'm a happy guy !

Nice! Good eating there
Do you guys store with rings on or off?
I see people doing both. I was taught rings are to come off after 24 hours for storage, that way you can detect false seals and spoilage.
Seems some do leave them on though

No rush Kevin just always like to try new things. Been talking about canning for a couple of years now and this thread has me fired up...haha.
We need to get going with it while my grandmother is still just a couple miles down the road to help with the start up process

Jud, kaleb, and anyone else who wants to try and let us know what you think.
Yellow tomatoe garlic jalapeño salsa Should yield 6-7 pints
Cut ingredients to consistency you like in your salsa. We like chunky but you could run through food processor or chop fine if you wish
4-5 jalapeño peppers ( core if milder spice is desired, still spicy though) 2 Serrano peppers 2 banana peppers ( you could always roast peppers if you wanted for a roasted salsa flavor. May try that next year)
9 cloves garlic minced Cilantro Fine chop 8 tablespoons 4 teaspoons oregano 2 cups onion 1 teaspoon cumin 2.5 teaspoons salt( always easier to add salt later) 1.5 teaspoons sugar
Yellow tomatoes 7 cups. Skinned cored and seeded( drain In colander for a thicker salsa) cut to desired size/consistency.
Vinegar 1.5 cups white, 1 cup apple cider Lemon juice 1 teaspoon
Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Simmer for 15
Water bath for 15 minutes( I’m East Tennessee, if higher elevation may require longer time. You figure that out)
We took a recipe from a old ball( 1950’s I believe) book and modified to use yellow tomatoes, and altered to what we like in salsa
I cannot guarantee the safety of this recipe as I have no way of measuring PH( I tried to get the hospital lab to test it for me and for some reason they laughed at me). While I believe the Ph will be below 4.2 and should be safe, I would recommend you either test yourself or refrigerate to ensure safety. Botulism is real, unlike global warming!
