Gonna pick another five gallons of Macintoshes today. All of these will be used for apple jam, for Christmas presents.

Not canning, but I’ve got about 4 gallons of wine bubbling away in my kitchen. The smell is heavenly!

Bringing this back up. Can’t believe the number of compliments I’ve had on this relish, so I thought I’d post the recipe. It is absolutely awesome on German-style weiners or sausage on a bun. Slavyanka says it’s too spicy for her, but she keeps eating it. I plan to spread some on a wheel of warm Brie next time we have company.

For mine, I went about 50/50 jalapeño (no seeds) and sweet peppers. Plus I added in two medium zucchini I had and subbed Kerns mustard powder for the mustard seed.

That’s it. A must try.

Had frost the last 2 mornings, so the garden is a goner !

We'll pick the remaining green maters, bell peppers, swiss chard, cukes & zucchini tonight.

Maybe the cabbages too, but we'll leave the root veges a bit & hope.

Ran out of jars at 28 half pints of apple jam, called it officially done. Between cherry, strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry freezer jams, and too much apple jam to count, we have done enough jam this year to give a Mongol horde the Beetus.

I guess we better start making some biscuits.

Got the bacon done. Also cooked some back strap while the kamado was rolling. Been a little busy with work and clearing land. Sorry it took a little while

I keep my skins for soups and beans
I don’t square my bellies up before curing so I can square afterwards and have lardones

We also don’t cut our bacon in big long strips( wife prefers this way)

Pear butter.

Bartlett pears, core and remove stems and other imperfections. I was too lazy to peel.

We own a Blendtec blender. Industrial-grade like the Vitamix. Did the 50 second super blend 3 times.

Cooked with cardamom powder, lots of cinnamon, vanilla in some anise infused sugar water.

Use molasses in some and brown sugar in others.

Depending on firmness you desire add pectin accordingly. Wife uses some fancy bulk pack of pectin.

Without the pectin this is more of a pear syrup for waffles and pancakes. Otherwise it becomes a fantastic butter. Much sweeter than typical apple butter.

I scored two dozen Ball pint jars at Walmart for $8.98 a dozen and I feel like I just won the lottery! Dozen lids alone on EBay cost more than that.

If you have an Ollie's nearby, it is worth checking. Our local Ollie's had plenty of cases of pints in stock tonight, at 6.99 a dozen.

auk,

you just water bath that chutney?

Wife loves the stuff. usually makes small batches and freezes it. Canned looks good too though. Never done chutney myself, so asking for future reference. Thanks in advance.

Yep! Hot jars, chutney right off the stove, regular hot water bath for 15 minutes of boil time. Works for us. My chutney is purely sweet and is really more of a raisin, ginger and apple jam than a traditional British chutney, but this year I added a healthy amount of ground cayenne pepper to one canning and that batch turned out really good too. I may experiment some more with it next year.

Kraut day today:

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

Forgot to take a pic of all the filled jars, oops. You can see a couple in the drip container. I ended up with 5 quarts so far.

Should I be so inclined as to remember, I'll take pics when they've finished bubbling and are ready to eat.

The few jars I use right now are not a problem. Couple of cases out in the shop/garage. Today's were from one of the places we get honey, they are nice enough to use quart canners. Honey and a free jar, what's not to like about that?

I'm salivating at the thought of them being done. Going to have to get some pork chops or kielbasa or something to go with it.

Thanks.

My wife tries all kinds of chutneys. Mango is a favorite, blueberry was pretty good too.

If you want to kick it up another notch, add curry powder to the recipe - you'll thank me later !

I will try some curry next year, thanks. I have always stuck with a very sweet profile because of my sugar addiction, but the cayenne batch was damn good. I will throw some curry into a batch next year.

That kraut looks freaking delicious. Never tried to make it.
