Canning Beets and Carrots

The pressure I use is determined by altitude. I am at sea level. Before you ever pressure can low acid food in a pressure canner be sure to check a USDA approved recipe for the proper pressure and time for your altitude.

I picked some small beets from my garden today and canned them. I have never canned beets before and am excited at how they came out. I hope this motivates others to try something new.

Always follow USDA approved recipes when home canning.

Canning beets 1.wmv

Canning beets step 1

Here is the recipe on how I can the beets.

Basic Pickled Beets

7 Lb. Beets with their rootlets and 2 inches of tops

2 cinnamon sticks, broken

1 tablesoon allspice berries

1 tablespoon whole cloves

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons pickling salt

4 cups cidar vinegar

2 cups water

1. Scrub the beets. Put them into a large pot, and cover them with boiling water. Return the water to a boil, and boil the beets 15 to 35 minutes, depending on their size, until they are just tender.

2. Drain the beets, and cover them with cold water. When they are cool, trim them, and slip their off their skins. If they are large, halve or quarter them-or, if you like, slice all the beets into 1/4" thick rounds.

3. Tie the spices in a spice bag or scrap cheesecloth. Combine the sugars, salt, vinegar, and water in a nonreactive pot, and add the spice bag. bring the contents to a boil, sturring to dissolve the sugar. Reduse the hear, and simmer the liquid, uncovered for 10 minutes.

4. While the liquid simmers, pack the beets into pint or quard mason jars. If you've sliced the beets, pack the slices loosely. Pour the hot liquid over the beets, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Close the jars with hot two-piece caps. Process the jars for 30 minutes in a boiling-water bath.

6. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the beets.

Canning Butternut Squash

These squash aren't called ButterNUT for nothing. Tough to peel but so delicious. I am canning more bounty from this year's garden for enjoyment this winter.

Canning Yellow Squash

Nothing says summer to me like delicious, tender yellow squash. Watch as I can some to squirrel away for the winter.

CANNING SUMMER SQUASH

Wash jars, lids and rings. Put jars on a cookie sheet into a 250 degree oven to stay warm. Put lid and ring in a pot to heat. Do not boil lids. Wash and slice squash. They can be cubed, but I find they fit in the jars better if sliced. Put squash in a large pan and heat just until boiling. Remove a few jars from the oven and fill to within 1" of the top of the jar. Do not pack squash, but you can shake the jar a bit to help them settle. Add on teaspoon of canning salt to each quart jar, if desired. Fill jars to top of squash with the boiling water the squash was cooked in. Wipe the rim of the jar with a clean paper towel. Place hot lid and ring on each jar and screw down firmly. Place jar in pressure canner. Place lid on canner. When steam begins to vent, in a steady flow, set timer for 10 minutes, to all all air to be vented from the canner. Place weight on caller. Allow pressure to come to 11 pounds. Process for 40 minutes. Turn off heat and allow gauge to return to -0- naturally. Do not try to rush the process. Remove the weight, and carefully remove the canner lid, lifting away from your face. Exercise extreme caution. Steam can cause serious burns. Remove jars with a jar lifter, to a towel lined counter. Allow to cool undisturbed for 24 hours. Remove rings, wash jars, label and store in a cool, dark place.

Food Storage - Canning Cheesy Ham & Potato Soup Recipe

Enjoy the recipe! I did open a jar of this 2 weeks after canning and it was delish! Perfect for winter blues eating! :P DO NOT thicken this soup too much. Keep potato dices larger to keep intact. The skins help hold potatoes together during the canning process as well. Always finely grate your cheese to ensure melding in sauce. ENJOY! ~Chef Janie

12 small potatoes cubed (8 to 10 cups)

1/2 celery rough chopped

1 red onion, diced

2 to 4 clove of garlic

1 1/2 cup of peas (frozen)

2-3 cups of carrots - diced (3 to 4 large carrots)

1 tsp pinch of sea or canning salt (optional)

3 cups of diced ham

2 tablespoons of "ham base" or use enough ham or chicken stock to cover

fresh ground black pepper to taste

1 can of corn (optional)

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup gluten-free flour or cornstarch (note: important for canning)

1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce (less or more to your preference)

1-1/2 cups of Parmesan cheese grated or other cheese of your choice

Note: After canning; cool completely, was jars, label and shake well to keep from separating. This is shelf stable for up to one year.

Note: if you can't find Orrington Farms "ham base" or if you have not dehydrated and made your own ham stock base, you could just use ham stock in place of water for the same effect if you make your own stocks... or just use chicken stock!

Directions

-------------------------------

cube taters. rinse twice.. put taters in a bowl and add enough water to cover the taters

heat some oil or other fat in a large stock pot

lightly soften veggies until onions are translucent but not browned

add the potatoes and water .. add enough extra water to cover the mix

add 3 cups of ham

add about 1 quart of stock (chicken or ham)

fresh cracked pepper (to taste)

salt if using unsalted stock or rub required

add peas

add a few drops to a teaspoon of Worcestershire

Bring up to a simmer

While waiting for the simmer

Mix 1 cup of cold milk with cornstarch or gluten free flour

Fold the milk mixture into the soup slowly. Reserve about 1/4 cup

Canning

10 pounds of pressure for 90 Minutes at 1000 ft or less altitude.

1" head space, be sure and de-bubble before canning.

Follow normal pressure canning instructions for your altitude!

Check seals after 12 hours and wash jars, label and store away for up to one year. (this won't last that long...trust me!) LOL Enjoy!

PS Thanks to Nicholas LaDieu for typing up the recipe for us all. Chef Janie

How To Make Hot Or Sweet Pepper Relish

Hot Or Sweet Pepper Relish This is my Grandmother's recipe. You want a total of seven pounds of bell peppers before you clean them to make sweet relish. To make hot relish, substitute one or more pounds of bell peppers with hot peppers. In the video we used one pound of hot peppers and six pounds of bell peppers and the relish was medium hot, of coarse the type of hot peppers you use does make a huge difference. This recipe makes approx. 6 pints. 3 1/2 pounds green bell peppers (approx 12 peppers) 3 1/2 pounds red bell peppers (approx 12 peppers} 3 pounds yellow or sweet onions Brine 2 cups sugar 1 pint apple cider vinegar 1 cup water 1 1/2 tbs salt 1 tsp dry mustard powder 3/4 tsp celery seed 3/4 tsp turmeric Grind onions & peppers into a 6 quart sauce pot. Then drain out liquid into the sink using a colander. Put the onions & peppers back into the 6 quart pan and pour already boiling water into the pan, enough to cover the onion & peppers. Then put a lid on the pan and let it sit 10 minutes . After 10 minutes drain out the liquid again into the sink. Put the onions & peppers back into the 6 quart pan and cover again with more boiling water. Put on the lid and let it sit another 10 minutes. After 10 minutes dump it into the colander and this time use a plate to squeeze out the water. Leave the onions & peppers in the colander to drain in the sink. While the onions & peppers drain mix the rest of the ingredients in the 6 quart pan. Put the pan on medium high heat and stir until sugar is dissolved, then add onions & peppers and mix well. Cover and bring to a boil stirring occasionally. When it comes to a boil turn it down to a simmer. Cook covered for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. When time is up remove from heat. Put into hot sterilized canning jars and process for 15 minutes.
