Hello from MN

Jumped over here from another forum, looking for some ideas for canning.:wave: I have about 100 pounds of tomatoes to deal with yet. Has anyone ever tried yellow tomato jelly? First year I have grown them, what a crop. I do most of my canning in glass jars & an old pressure cooker handed down from my grandma. Have already made lots of different pickles, relish, tomato sauces, jams & jellies, & sauerkraut. Basically if I can get it into a jar it is preserved. Always looking for new ideas & old recipies.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

Glad you found us.

Nica has posted a number of times about dehydrating and canning (http://www.netcookingtalk.com/forums/search.php?searchid=11277). You should find some others if you look around.

Post some pics if you have them!

Hi Red...,Glad you made it here. I look forward to a lot of posts from you and your canning experiences. The yellow tomato jelly sounds like fun. And of course, pictures are always nice.

We were about "canned out" this summer and my wife said NO MORE, so I decided to see if I could build a dehydrator. After a couple mods it works just fine. I have dehydrated tomatoes, potatoes, zucchini, y-squash, peppers, cantaloupe, cucumbers, and okra.
"I" will can some chow-chow in a week or two when the ripening for all the green tomatoes slows down.

This gardening thing and preserving what you grow has been a lot of fun and a learning experience for me. This is my 3rd year having a garden and I doubled the size each year, and will do again for next year. I think I may have stumbled onto my true passion. But, planting and digging potatoes is hard to beat. That's my favorite....never know what your going to get till you dig them!

Post often....I'm a fan,
Nica

Just read your profile....we got a lot in common.
