Blink and Gone

Time has moved quickly. I'm not even sure where I left off. Maybe I'll go through my notes and back-date posts, but most likely we'll just move on.

Next year (if I don't back-date). I'll need to post my canning adventures. I adjust recipes as I make them so blogging them should help my annotations.  Until those posts are made, I'll give the cliff note version:

Jalopeno relish: http://www.pepperfool.com/recipes/canned/hot_relish.html
                 Notes: increased recipe 50%, by adding 1 quart onion.
                             Need to not add sugar next time
                             Heat of relish depends on heat of jalapenos.

Salsa: http://www.food.com/recipe/wonderful-salsa-9272
                 Notes: Jalopeno's were too hot for the 1 cup, should have half'ed.
                             Didn't have sauce, made own from tomotes.

Apple Butter: Amazing Recipe http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/apple_butter/
                 Notes: So much easier. Only de-seeded & steamed apples)
                             Used a Squeeze-o to make the apple sauce. Too easy!
                             Over spiced on the allspice and clove. Kept sugar the same
                             When reducing the sauce, I stirred it every 3 minutes for 30 seconds for 2 hours.

Frozne Apple Pie Filling: http://www.gracefullittlehoneybee.com/freezer-apple-pie-filling/
                 Notes: Peeled and course chopped apples by hand. Used whole wheat flour.

The pumpkins this year got sick, only ended up with 13 pumpkins. :( Will have to do a better job with the plants next year.

Again sorry for the belated post and not keeping up to date.
