Homemade Catsup
When I get to working fast in the kitchen, I forget that often I should be taking pictures for posts for recipes. This is one of those occasions. I had a lot going on in my kitchen the day that I made this catsup, and I was finishing it up when I realized I should have been documenting the process. Consequently, I apologize, but I will tell you that this is an incredibly flavorful condiment. I will forever use it for our homemade catsup (or ketchup, as my spell check prefers!)

Cold Packed Cucumber Dill Pickles
I love this pickle recipe, because I can make a jar as I pick cucumbers instead of saving cucumbers until I have a lot and doing a mass canning. I also love this because it’s relatively effortless.

Honey Sweetened Grape Jelly with Homemade Apple Pectin
Pectin is found in under ripe food and is a substance that will jell fruit juice when combined with sweeteners. I’m not all that crazy about growing my own fruit, being careful about the source of the food I buy, carefully preparing to preserve such fruit — then having to preserve it with a box of some Sure-Jel that came off of the Wal-Mart shelf. So, I researched into how to make my own pectin.

Tasty Turkey Broth
Homemade broth is the best. You’ll be amazed at just how astonishing the taste difference is using homemade broth versus mass produced store bought.

Perfectly Preserved Peach Pie Filling
I spent the day canning pears and peaches. The peaches were for my sister. She had a peach tree last year that would not quit, and when I was visiting this past weekend, she sent me home with seven gallons of frozen chopped peaches, with the only request that some of the preserves made be jelly because she doesn’t like chunks on her toast.

Preserving the Harvest
I shredded, chopped, diced, seeded, sliced, mixed, froze, canned until I could do no more.
