Nothing today :>(......but last week I made Dilly Beans!  Have to wait for another 3-4 weeks to eat them though.  Next week I'm making Peach Butter and canning peaches and tomatoes.  Can't wait.  How bout you?

[MoonMaven]

Yesterday, I made 4 pts of sauerkraut. There was a recipe in the October Martha Stewart Living on how to ferment cabbage, it was very simple.

Either today or tomorrow, me and my friend are going to make 20 pints of salsa and 16 quarts of Apple Pie Filling.

Quoting sportsgrandma:

 How did you make the Mexican hot sauce?

I didn't have a recipe, but I'll tell you what I did.  I took 16 large dried new mexico chiles and 16 smaller dried chiles (don't remember the variety) stemed and seeded them and added them to a pot with 4 1/2 cups water, 2 tomatoes, 1/2 onion, 1 clove garlic, 1 cup vinegar, 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp dried cilantro.  Cooked that until the chiles were soft and then used my imersion blender to blend it all up.  Then I let it reduce for about an hour and then canned it in pint jars for 45 minutes.

I live in an apartment, so we don't have the opportunity for a garden like I did in the midwest, however, when the local markets have a *really* good sale on something, I can it!  

Today I canned:

• 30 Qts Beans
• 6  Pint Yams
• 3  Pints Candied Pomegranate Seeds (in a mild cinnamon syrup)

This past week I was able to get a bushel of beans, pomegranate, pineapple, and yams.  Got enough to can a bunch and eat some fresh.   Tomorrow and Tuesday I'll finish the pineapple and make my "Burns Both Ways Salsa" for DH and some pomegranate/strawberry jelly in the next couple days.  WHEW.....
