Canning

I picked the tomatoes, I washed the tomatoes, I cored the tomatoes. I put them in boiling water. I transferred them to ice water, I removed the skin from the tomatoes, The innards I put into a pot to stew on the stove. The cores, the skins, I put in a colander, and pressed out the juice. & added to tomatoes on stove. ( Skins went into 3 tier compost box)- 1 tsp sea salt, 1 tsp Lemon juice. MEANWHILE- I have a empty QT jar in 250 degree oven for 20 minutes to sterilize it. The top snd ring to seal jar being sterilized in another pan on stove top, I put a fat (sterilized) funnel over a sterilized jar from the oven. I tasted, and loved the product. Here is the results.

LOL At least I got the process down.

Preventative maintenance. I just wish the doctor didn’t kiss my neck when he was doing the procedure.

I was at the farmers market in KCMO a few years ago and this old dude had some jalapeño jelly. He would put a little cream cheese on a cracker and jalapeño jelly on top. Good Lord that was a good little snack 😋

We had some with smoked Gouda to test it. I agree.

Go good with pork maybe.

John, please post Nancy's recipe, when you can. I only have one jalapeno plant this year, but I might have enough to make a couple of half pints. If I don't use the rest of them for our beloved ABT's.

Did Nancy remove all the seeds and membranes? If so, was the jelly still hot, with all that sugar?

Yesterday Nancy canned the cranberries we bought at the Ocean Spray Museum last week. We are more than set for the year.

She used the Ball Blue Book recipe.
