My produce is about gone. I do have some peppers that I just put in
the freezer and others that are going to be smoked this afternoon.
Then they will be dehydrated. There is some juice waiting to be made
into jelly.

Then I need to clean up the garden and greenhouse for next year. Then
comes the Christmas baking.

After that I will sit back and wait for the seed catalogues.

What are you preserving now?

We're still here, just not much canning going on in some parts of the
country and in others they're too busy to visit. Just ignore the crazies
and they go away after awhile

Sadly, due to budget cut-backs, they were all canned.

Hello back.
Are you looking for someone in particular?

A couple of the regulars here live in a northern climate where the
harvest is pretty much done. (I'm one of them.) I could be making
apple butter if I felt like it; instead, I'm freezing soup broth but I
don't really consider that to be preserving in a more typical sense*‹ I
consider it to be storage. :-)

A couple of the southren regulars are occupied with family stuff. The
rest of 'em have lives. "-)

How can we help you? If you've a canning question, you'll likely find
that a couple folks are MULT-EYE talented and can help you most anything.

Hey! Y'all shouldn't make fun of SPAM, lots of Brits wouldn't have had
any meat at all during WWII if we hadn't shipped lots of it over there.
Come to think of it, my family ate a lot of SPAM in those days too. I've
got a can in the pantry now, just in case we can't cook or another
hurricane blows in. With that and canned tuna and vegetarian beans we
can feast like kings.

Don't forget the Hawaiians. They developed a taste for it during WWII
and now can't get enough of the stuff. SPAM sushi, anyone?

SPAM was somewhat of a staple at our house in my younger days, and I can
only take it in extreme moderation anymore :-)......Lots of memories of
canned meat at hunting camp as well and even though I could do without SPAM,
I still love both Potted Meat and Vienna Sausage!

I haven't eaten either of those two in many years. My Dad firmly
believed that if you went on a hunting or fishing trip without potted
meat or Vienna sausage you would most likely starve. He pronounced the
last as "VI ENNA Sausage." His favorites were those three meats,
sardines in oil on saltine crackers, fried salt pork, and thick cut
bologna sandwiches with mustard, a big slice of white onion, and black
pepper. I still eat the bologna sandwich once in awhile in his memory,
the others I leave to others. Dad was born in 1911, raised to age
fourteen in central Louisiana and then moved to Texas. Went to work at
age twelve when his Dad had a major heart attack and couldn't do manual
labor any more. I reckon he was most grateful to get what he could to
eat on 35 cents a day pay back then and learned to like the stuff.
Thanks for reminding me of my old man, we ended up as best friends when
I learned, at age 21, that he wasn't as dumb as I thought he was when I
was much younger. He's been gone 25 years now and we all still miss him.

Geez you guys; I just went shopping for our annual deer retreat, and after
reading this thread, think in addition to the buckets of pintos and ham
hocks, I make, going to have to go get some vienna sausages and sardines in
ketchup. Terrible thing to read when it's bedtime snack time. Yum Yum

Hawaiian breakfast somewhat popular here among the Pacific Islanders....
eggs, spam, and rice.
