With cooler weather I’m willing to participate in #canningseason in #michigan. It has to align with what’s available in our forlorn, little #farmersmarket because my #garden is not productive enough, only enough for fresh dinner here and there. I did get a good #garlic crop and so that was my contribution to the smokey #salsa and #cornrelish. Checked who survived the #WaterBathCanning vacuum test this morning, lost 4 of 27, I’ll take it! The loss is delicious and will be consumed right away!

Some tomato sauce found its way into my jars.

Something about putting your home grown produce into jars that will wait patiently for months to be eaten is "something."
I have a connection to my equipment and jars. Some of the equipment is older than me. Some of the jars were my grandfathers. Just a different way of looking at reusable.

Fellow #canning enthusiasts: check your vinegar. Several brands have started watering down their vinegar, bringing the total acidity down to 4% - but most safe recipes were tested with 5% acidity vinegar.

(Had to do some creative things to make the alt text work, tried to keep the most important bits intact. Warning, it’s long.)

Then came the point of the evening when I realized that past me’s quantity of salsa jars was incorrect but I was in too deep.

Also, getting ready for canning day tomorrow with a mix of harvesting, donations from friends, and a farm market trip. Just need to swing out to the farm stand tomorrow for some red onions and then it’s all salsa all day!

First batch of candied jalapeños are done, and all have popped (sealed)

Which is also why I would never consume someone elses canned goods. I don‘t trust any of them to make SAFE canned goods. 🤣 #waterbathcanning #homepreserving #canningfood
