Canning more still...

It's been a very busy canning season for me this year. So far in just this month I have put up the following:

1 quart jar of dehydrated cherry tomatoes (trust me, that's a lot of tomatoes!)
1/2 gallon bag of green beans for the freezer
15 quarts of canned green beans
13 half pints of apple/pear butter
12 pints and 10 half pints of salsa
6 Quart jars of dehydrated sliced Zucchini and Squash
4 quart jars of dehdrated shreaded zucchini and squash
13 half pints and a 1/4 pint of Jalapeno jelly
10 half pints of strawberry freezer jam
9 half pints of cooked strawberry jam
10 half pints of peach freezer jam
19 half pints of cooked peach jam
2- 1 gallon bags of green beans for the freezer
4 pints and 3 half pints of strawberry fig jam
12 half pints of apple-pear butter-need to make more of that.


In June I did the following:
25 or so Various pints and half pints of pickles (cukes and zucchini), relishs, etc, picked vegies, etc. All have tasted good so far.
22 pints of roma bush beans
5 quarts of kosher dill pickles
13 pints of Kentucky Wonder beans
2- 1 gallon ziplock bags of green beans
6- 1 quart bags of green beans
6 bags of shreaded zucchini (2 cup measurements)
16 bags(1 cup measurement) shreaded yellow squash.
26 quarts of canned green beans
Lots of shreaded/sliced zucchini and squash run through the dehydrator
8 bags of 2 cup portions of zucchini into freezer
8- 1 cup portions of zucchini -freezer
6 half pints and 1 large container of salsa for the freezer
15 1/2 pints and 12 pints of salsa canned
10 zucchini (some quite large) shreaded and dehydrated -filled 2 1/2 quarts
Various amounts of other squash, zucchini and tomatoes dehydrated.

From the storehouse I canned in #10 cans:
6 cans of dried apples
6 cans of potato flakes
Then 45 #10 cans of various amounts of flour, sugar, beans, white rice and oats.

In May I did over 80 pints of canned (previously dried) black, white and pinto beans-now I have instant beans like you'd buy in the can at the stores for a fraction of the cost. A 25 lb bag of beans was around $9 when I bought them. Some of the beans went into #10 cans, the leftovers went into the jars. It only takes about a 1/4 a cup of dried beans to make a full pint.
