A Week of Preserving | Water Bath Canning, Freezing, Dehydrating

Описание: This week has been filled with preserving in our small homestead kitchen. On our to do list was freezing beans from the garden, water bath canning local peaches and peach salsa, dehydrating plums from our trees, and canning sweet and spicy pickle slices. Join me as we get in as much preserving we can throughout a busy weekend and work week to stock our pantry with home canned food.

Extra Light Syrup for Home Canned Peaches:
1 cup sugar
3 cups water

Fill quart jars with peeled and sliced, quartered, or halved peaches. Top with syrup to 1/2 inch headspace. Debubble, adjust headspace, clean rims and apply lids and rings to finger tip tight. Process in a water bath canner, 25 mins for pints or 30 mins for quarts.

Peach Salsa:
*Based off ball canning peach salsa recipe. Ball recipe calls for processing in 1/2 pint jars for 15 minutes, I feel comfortable processing in pint sized jars with an additional 5 minutes processing time.

1 1/2 cups white vinegar
18 cups diced peaches
3 3/4 cups diced yellow onion
6-12 diced jalapenos
3 diced bell peppers
1 1/2 cups cilantro
3/4 cup honey
6 cloves garlic
4 1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp cayenne
1 1/2 tsp salt

Add all ingredients to a large pot. Bring to a boil for 5-10 minutes. Fill pint jars to 1/2 inch headspace, debubble, clean rims and apply lids and rings to finger tip tight. Process in a water bath canner for 20 minutes for pints. Makes 9 pints.

Sweet & Spicy Pickle Slices:
*Based off ball canning pick-a-vegetable dill pickles.

4 1/2 lbs pickling cucumbers
2/3 lb hot peppers
9 cloves garlic
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
6 cups vinegar
3 tbsp mustard seeds
1/2 tbsp chili flakes

Add sugar, water, vinegar, mustard seeds and chili flakes to a sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Fill quart jars to 1/2 inch headspace with sliced peppers, cucumbers and garlic. Top with brine to 1/2 inch headspace. Debubble, clean rims, add lids and rings to finger tip tight. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. Makes 9 pints.

My husband and I live in BC, Canada on under 2 acres where we grow, raise and preserve to stock our pantry. On our small homestead, we raise pigs, meat birds, a laying flock, bees and keep a small orchard and garden space where we grow as much as we can. Here I share parts of our journey as we learn, along with cooking from the homestead pantry, and preserving what we grow. Thanks for watching!
