Canning Late Season Canning

[packyderms_wife]

Was wondering what all you are canning, or preserving, right now, if anything. My tomato plants produced a lot of tomatoes that basically never ripened, so today I'm putting up chow chow.

Starting Wednesday I'll make up a triple batch of cowboy candy, that's candied jalanpenos, and this weekend will can coleslaw.

Next week I will start processing chicken hind quarters and once the meat is deboned will can that up and then take the bones and make chicken stock and broth.

I'm planning to can apple pie filling, apple butter, and dehydrate apple slices this week.

I have 3 bushels of apples from our tree to work through this week. Don't know if I'll do apple pie filling this year or not. Apple sauce, dried apples, canned spiced apple slices are on the docket so far. Made some pear butter last week for the first time. Yummy!

I was looking forward to canning late peas, but it looks like the frost will get them, before they are ready to pick. I may pick all the green tomatoes, chop them, and put in the freezer. I make green tomato, potato, onion, and bell pepper stir fry out of them. I'm waiting to see how well the turnips and mustard greens do, so I'll know if I'll have enough to can those.

I'm always canning meat out of my freezers. I'm trying to empty out the older one. I'm taking a break for a while on that, though.

Tomatoes will ripen after you bring the green ones inside to save from frost.
If I didn't pick boxes and boxes of green tomatoes, I'd never have any to can up north here. The rarely ripen on the vine in my garden. They ripen in bushels and boxes spread all over my kitchen and dining room!

canned spiced apple slices are on the docket so far.

Which recipe are you using for spiced canned apple slices? I might be able to get my hands on some apples to process.

 

[Gardener]

Canned spiced apple slices from the Ball Blue Book.
It's the recipe variation to apple rings, where you add stick cinnamon to each jar of sliced apple rings. In my version of the Ball Blue Book, it is the first recipe in the fruit section.
Let me know if you need more details.
