Canning 2012

Green Tomato Mincemeat

We've been canning tomatoes, and assorted produce from The Mother's garden. Today we finally tallied up what we could find sitting in Kerr and Ball jar boxes around the house.

The tomaoto plants have been the biggest givers this year, we just picked over 20 pounds more this morning that will need to be processed tomorrow. We've been picking an average of every other day for weeks now.

Here's our canning accomplishment so far:

4 - 1/2 pints of beet relish
3 - 1/2 pints mango chutney
4 pints banana peppers
5 pints green tomato mincemeat

6 pints pickled beans
7 pints mixed pickled vegetables
21 pints pickled beets

17 quarts whole/puréed tomatoes
13 quarts pasta sauce
12 pints pasta sauce
2 quarts salsa
12 pints salsa

The list will grow as we harvest more beets and tomatoes. And soon we'll be moving, and preparing for our own garden.

It's been fun learning, and we're really getting the hang of it.
