The Canning Thread

[TrappedinMD]

So I have a metric butt load of habaneros, already made hot sauce with some. Any suggestions on what to do with the rest? Anyone tried cowboy candy or just pickling them?

dry them. I have a buddy that takes a long line and ties it around each stem and hangs it up for a few months. Looks cool too.

Nice haul!

 

[TrappedinMD]

I’ll have to check that out!

My daughter made cowboy candy and them buggers are still hot. I tried eating them on Pate and they upset my lower GI 4 hours later and were still hot leaving. I think as I get older I can't handle the capsaicin until they are cooked.

We pickle a lot. My youngest son especially likes them on sandwiches.

I put the pressure caner to its first use. I made Venison Vegetable Soup to be able to store on the shelf for easy meals. This was my first preliminary recipe, I am sure it will be edited to be improved. This was just a guess and I started adding as my cook time went from 1 hour to over two adding spices and such. Maybe more bullion too.

It makes 13 quarts and I canned 12 and we ate 13 for diner last night.

As a general rule, how long can they be stored?

Forgot to add that it does look good

FDA guidelines say one year. But also say for best nutritional value.

And yes. Looks very good. I'm hungry now

Did 3 quarts of pickled eggs today. Bread and butter spice mix with extra vinegar, and a bunch of chopped fresh jalapeños.

Recipe please. Those look good.

I have an abundance of eggs and would like to store them some way besides frozen.

My wife makes these. Amish Mustard Pickled Eggs. They are fantastic! The above jalapeño eggs sound great also!

Thanks!

I’ve enjoyed the results from Mrs. Wages bread and butter prepackaged spice mix. I cut back on the sugar called for by about 25%, and add jalapeño and/or habanero peppers to the brine.

Just hopped on here to catch up on things while I'm eating lunch, and we love the Mrs. Wages mixes as well. I'm having a sammich with some bread and butter squash/zucchini as I type this (we had too much squash, so we decided to B&B some of it - turned out great!)

Cool, we might try pickling squash/zucchini some time. I’m not a big fan of them as a plain old vegetable, so what’s the best way to do them as pickles (chips, slices, wedges, etc.)?

we just sliced them up and substituted for cucumbers. I'm in Carroll County, I'm happy to drop a jar off if you want.

Hey Paul, if you got a spare jar, can I get one to try?

Sure. When you in the Westminster or Eldersburg area next?

Do they stay firm? We tried freezing they they got all mushed up. My buddies wife made like cinomon apple slices with zuchinni this year and he said it was awesome. Might have to do other things next year and freezing and pressure canning makes them mush.
