Anyone here do home canning? I just started this year and it's a ton of fun. It takes a lot of time but the results are delicious. Anyone have any favorite home canned or pickled items? I would love to here about anyones successes, failures, favorites, or parents/grandparents historical/monumental canning efforts.
So far I've done pickled brussels sprouts, cherries, rhubarb sauce and apple sauce. What have you done?

Lainey used to - well, still does - do a lot of canning ... tomatoes, green beans, pickles, corn ... pretty much you name it! Me, on the other hand, now relies on Del Monte! |

I haven't done any canning in over 20 years. Can't say as I miss it too much! 
When I was a teen-ager, I had to help my Mom every summer. She/we did all kinds of canning: jams, jellies, peaches, pears, cherries, apricots, dill pickles, sweet pickles, bread and butter pickles, tomatoes. We also froze vegetables: corn, green beans, peas, carrots.
She would not can vegetables other than pickles and tomatoes. When she was a young girl, during the depression, an entire family in their small town died of botulism that was contracted from home-canned green beans. She told me of how my grandmother, after hearing the news, went to the pantry and dumped out every jar of green beans she had canned. And she never canned any again. Mom never forgot it.
So, just be careful that you do it right! |

We've made a lot of muscadine jelly this year. Goes great with a biscuit! |
