Looking for Canning Recipes!

[John Gusmano]

Now that I am thinking about the garden and all of the vegetables I am growing this year, I’m thinking about canning….

For those of you that are experienced with “hot water bath” canning. I am looking for some good recipes! Anything, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, squash and anything else that can be preserved via the “hot water bath” method. I only have an old canning pot and no special pressure canner (I will someday), but I am looking to preserve as much as possible from the garden this year.

Any canning recipes can be placed in this thread. Please include boiling time and all ingredients in your recipe!

Any canning recipes will do! Thanks in advance Swampers!!!

John; pick up a copy of the Ball Blue Book at your local canning supply dealer. It covers basically everything.

Micheal took the words right out of my mouth, The blue book is the canning bible.

John, the Ball book is definitely a great resource for both hot water and pressure cooker canning.  Be aware that hot water canning is only good for recipes that are acidic (tomatoes and other veggies and vinegar is a key ingredient).  Vegetables are typically canned using a pressure cooker unless you add acidity to the recipe.  If you still would like some recipes (i.e., don't want to buy a book), let me know. I learned to can this year and have tried quite a few recipes that use tomatoes, peppers, onions, cauliflower, corn and other ingredients (including fruit).  Haven't run across a bad recipe yet!!
