My Pantry – a canning season in review

As the last of the apples ripen on the tree, my canning season has almost come to a close. Considering we had to pull up the garden early and we moved, I’m extremely happy with my canning haul this year. I wanted to share with you what I did this canning season.

I got this little shelf from Costco. It actually has the ability to have another level, but I ran out of space under our stairs. It can hold a lot of weight so it’s perfect for my canned goods. Starting with the top shelf from left to right we have:

apple butter

Here is my recipe for slow cooker apple butter — https://spiraeaherbs.ca/slow-cooker-apple-butter-recipe/

strawberry rhubarb jam

strawberry balsamic jam

strawberry ginger jam (by far my favourite)

strawberry chia seed jam

The second shelf from left to right:

tomato salsa

the recipe I used —http://www.attainable-sustainable.net/preserving-tomatoes-as-salsa/

ketchup (so much better than store bought)

green tomato relish

Here is my recipe for green tomato relish —https://spiraeaherbs.ca/green-tomato-relish-a-canning-recipe/

three bean salad

Here is the recipe I used for three bean salad —https://spiraeaherbs.ca/canning-three-bean-salad/

The third shelf from left to right:

canned peaches in light syrup

peach salsa (soooo good)

blueberry applesauce

spiced applesauce

Did I mention there is an apple tree on the neighbour’s property?! I’m sure I will be adding to the applesauce row over the next week or so.

Bottom shelf from left to right:

diced tomatoes (my first attempt – 85 minutes in the canner!)

pickled green beans

Here is my recipe for pickled green beans —https://spiraeaherbs.ca/canning-ontario-green-beans/

classic dill pickles

Well that’s a review of my canning pantry. See you next canning season!
