Canning is one of those things I vaguely remember my grandmother doing, but had never tried myself. Well, I can now say that I've done it. So far this year, I've put away 21 pints of pickled beets and 7 pints of pickled dill carrots. All contents are fresh from our garden this year, which makes it even more exciting. Next year, I'll have a better idea come garden planning time, now that I know what I can more easily preserve.
The canning was all made easier with our new American 921 pressure canner that's capable of doing 14 pints or 7 quarts. This weekend I'm going to give an Apple chutney a try. I'll post the results.
