A few more jars of salsa canned today.My recipe can be found here.
I added two cans of black beans along with the sweet
corn for this batch...so yummy!
And I tried the "green" way to can, which I found
here from Sandy of 4 Reluctant Entertainers.
This is soooo great...no canner needed, no pressure,
no water bath....all you do is make sure everything is
boiling hot and sterile. Put the lids on tight and turn
jars upside down. Wait 1 hour for the hot food to 'seal'
the lids! That's it! I'm so glad to have this wonderful
canning tip! Talk about easy and fast! Thank you, Sandy!
I plan on making crabapple jelly later this week and
this method is going to make it a breeze!
You have very fruitful hands! Your jars of salsa are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYum! I love homemade salsa! I really need to learn how to can...
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the un-canning way! It's amazing!
ReplyDeleteYour picture looks professional with that pretty blue background. The salsa looks too pretty to open and eat.
ReplyDeleteLove home canned salsa! Fresh salsa is a favorite too.
ReplyDeleteI love homemade salsa. I'm going to have to try this next summer. I need to learn to can anyway. I've only done it once, as an adult, and it was jelly with help from my mom. We did it the hard way, boiling the jars until they sealed, and at some point putting parafin wax on top. I could never do it by myself. Your green way looks so simple! I could even do that. Wish I could shop in your pantry...

You are very talented. Someday take a picture of your pantry. I'll bet it is so organized and colorful. The salsa looks great. I just had some black beans and cheese tonight. That is going to be yummy with some big corn chips.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy! An interesting way of canning, too.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteRan across your blog from a comment on another one. :-) Glad I did. I've enjoyed reading and checking out your recipes.
ReplyDeleteMy grand daughter stays with two teenager brothers who are autistic, so I have an idea of what a busy Mom you are. I can tell from your writings that you are a great one.
Thanks for the recipes. :-)
I sometimes wish I could cook like this. That looks delicious. we have a greenhouse full of tomatoes and I can't eat them because of heartburn!

yum ~ like the addition of the beans..pretty to look at as well
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have never heard of this "green" way to can! I am completely intrigued! Good for Sandy and good for you! As for this latest batch of salsa...oh, soooooo delicious!
ReplyDeletePinkdaisy ~ so you've done canning the old fashioned way! That's the way I've always done it...it's fun, but it's a big production and if you are doing a big batch of something it takes all day,.. the canner running on the stove heats up the entire house, etc, etc,. I can't believe this method...it's just amazing!
ReplyDeleteTootie ~ hi and welcome! Interesting about your granddaughter...is that her job as an aide or caretaker? Yes, it's a big job! ;) I'll be over to visit you today...thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteJill ~ go take a peak at Sandy's blog...she's amazing. She has gorgeous food pictures on her sidebar. I just love rows of home canned foods!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'll have to try this method. Sounds quick and easy to me. Did you post this recipe? I want it!
ReplyDeleteWillow ~ yes, click on the 'here' and it will take you back to that post!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, it's a good thing you are not my neighbour...I'd eat you out of house and home!! tee hee.
ReplyDeleteWonderful things keep coming out of Betsy's kitchen...!
That salsa looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour salsa looks so pretty and delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'll check out the "un-canning" method. I've always wanted to learn to do canning but I'm too freaked out about bacteria. I know it can be done safely I just need some lessons! My mother-in-law always cans the greatest jams and jellies. Maybe someday I'll live near enough to her to learn.
Blessings!

Lavinia ~ you are welcome to move in next door! I'll share my food if you tend to my flowers and birdbath! Deal?
ReplyDeleteThat just looks wonderful and I'll bet it tastes heavenly!
ReplyDeletelooks yummy!
ReplyDeleteyummy!! and the new method sounds like a huge improvement over the old way. i spent many,many hours helping my grandma farmer can back when i was young (I started to say back in the old days. yikes!!).
ReplyDeleteYour salsa looks so good! I love the combination of black beans corn and tomatos.
ReplyDeleteI've made tomato sauce the "green way" and it is a lot easier than the water bath, etc. I've never had a problem with a vacuum forming. I wonder why more people don't use that method?
