Expert home canning folk, I want to make this recipe https://larderlove.com/cranberry-gin-jam/ to use boozy cranberries from making their cranberry gin last year for gifts. Asked about hot water canning and they said it isn't done in UK/Europe and the preserves keep without it. Your thoughts and recommendations? (And why don't they use this process? Oven canning instead?) I'm inclined to treat it like jam, process for 10 minutes. #cooking#food#recipes#canning#HomeCanning#preserves#PreservingFood
@jonberger@BarbChamberlain I recently read that upside down canning is the method of choice in the UK, although I can't attest to the veracity of the claim. I read it in a FB group, and there was much scorn directed at the so-called primitive non-boiling approach.
IDK. I'd say the booze will keep your jam safe no matter what you do.
First batch of hot sauce is done! I am working on a new recipe (my others have been strongly popular, judging by my site stats), and I made 4 litres of this today. It has #amaryllatomatillo and #sugarrushpeach#hotpeppers as a base, with peaches to make it taste like sweet and spicy pie.
I have a few tweaks for the next run, but am pretty satisfied with "entry level heat" sauce. I prefer mine spicier, but I think even my spouse can manage this one. 😂🤷♂️
Its an exciting time of year in the garden, baskets of tomatoes most days, lots of peppers and herbs. Made 8 quarts of tomato sauce over the weekend, now canned and on the shelf. Looking forward to tasty dinners ahead.
The beans I recently planted are a few inches tall and doing well, fall carrots are starting to spourt. Okra is about a foot tall and thriving.
