I also have been tuned into the old made from scratch recipes because of all of my allergies. It is seriously the only thing I can eat! What a difference in my health.

Just made chili sauce on Monday. I use to do lots of canning. Now not so much but make salsa and sweet pepper relish every year. We love both of them. I make a sweet pickle relish about every other year that hubby loves on hot dogs and burgers. I grew up with my mom always canning. Never did help her or learn until after I was married. I think you will find it to be very rewarding. Hope hubby gets feeling better. That vertigo is not good. My FIL had it for quite some time and I could tell he was miserable. Thanks for sharing with SYC.<br />Hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-30244094688612887382012-08-29T16:00:49.274-05:002012-08-29T16:00:49.274-05:00I have canned when I was first married.

It was so yummy.<br /><br />After we were in Hurricane Ike and experienced no grocery stores for 9 days, we realized we need to be better prepared. We got a large pressure canner and I have canned meats, broth for soups, veggies, etc. <br /><br />It takes time but it is so rewarding.Texas JennyWrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569506927596264443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-26150549593244012562012-08-29T15:45:12.969-05:002012-08-29T15:45:12.969-05:00Hey Deb!

I had a huge garden and this time of year the kettle would have been full of jars and going constantly. Some things are worth canning and some just aren't worth the effort. My most popular items with the kids were peaches (so worth it) pickled beats and spaghetti sauce. Green beans you really have to be careful with, they are low in acidity so they can have a tendency for bacteria. I like them frozen better anyway.<br />Anymore questions, call me! Hope hubby is better, he has been on my prayer list.<br />Blessings today<br />RRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278401609888310410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-75362464731579779242012-08-29T12:47:35.610-05:002012-08-29T12:47:35.610-05:00I would love to try canning.

I have my tomatoes for chili sauce so that will start tomorrow. I'm going to can tomatoes - maybe pears. Freeze peaches and corn. Make corn relish and maybe mustard beans. I'm doing refrigerator pickles and at least one chutney. There's going to be a lot done this year for health and financial and taste reasons. Such a feeling of accomplishment to see all the jewel-coloured jars lined up.

Cooking from scratch is the BEST way I have found to lower sodium in our diet! Also, more "frozen" vegetable choices over"canned" vegetables!!! Also, the switch from table salt to "sea salt"!

Anything green has to be done in a pressure canner and that always scared me....that's why a freezer is worth every penny!! I freeze everything I can, beans, tomatoes, herbs, broccoli, etc....no longer have a veg garden, and that's okay because I am surrounded by farm markets with very cheap prices and I can sometimes pick my own for even cheaper. Still can pickles and lotsa jam, its so rewarding!!!sweet violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217634500685029163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-38046575323077890822012-08-28T22:48:38.553-05:002012-08-28T22:48:38.553-05:00I've canned a few things, but not in great qua...I've canned a few things, but not in great quantity.

I post often about things I can, freeze or put up... I use organic whenever I can find it, and we eat really healthy... I read ALL food labels and have for years... luckily I got an early start on good nutrition from my family... my favorite thing to put up is salsa, also my bread~and~butter pickles... and when you do it yourself, you KNOW only good things are in it... hurray for you eating healthier!... love your old canning books and pamphlets... and your seedbox... I hope you can some things next year... there is a sense of satisfaction in doing so... I am constantly asked why I put up homemade pickles or such when I could just buy it at a store... my answer is always the same... if someone even has to ask that question they would never understand... it really does give me alot of pleasure, and keeps me connected to my roots... okay, I have written a book here... much love, xoxo Julie Marie Julie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351116606101921159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-46710691471001077082012-08-28T20:20:39.734-05:002012-08-28T20:20:39.734-05:00I haven't canned anything since my high school...I haven't canned anything since my high school cooking class, but with the high cost of fresh produce, I'm thinking of planting myself a vegetable garden next year, too.

Meanwhile, might I suggest checking yourself and hubs for vitamin B12 deficiency? It might sound far fetched, but alot of ear problems happen because of it and if you do a little research, you'll find it really pays off to take 1000 mg supplements! :) And you can get tests done specifically for that too, hope this helps! <br /><br />Hugs, Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114482618134817788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-2416330124567563172012-08-28T19:43:37.397-05:002012-08-28T19:43:37.397-05:00I really love to can but am now down to just doing...I really love to can but am now down to just doing maybe pickled beets, chili sauce, dill pickles and apple butter.
