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
- Here is my recipe for dill pickles — https://spiraeaherbs.ca/canning-dill-pickles-recipe-and-instructions/
Well that’s a review of my canning pantry. See you next canning season!
