Canned 10 lbs of potatoes today. Have another batch in the dehydrator. Great way to warm up the house on a chilly windy day. -
Canned homemade pizza sauce this morning. I dont grow tomatoes tho, so I start with canned store bought puree.kyle I can mine in the same size jars and the club stores sell the sauce for less than you can produce it yourself ,just taste to find the salt content some are more than others , if it is to salty I use lemon juice to equalize it

craigrice I got the recipe from a buddy who used to own a bar. When he bought the bar, he had to pay for the recipe from the previous owner. The place was known for its pizza. Since I started making it, store bought sauce just dont cut it anymore. Buying the puree is just so much easier and cheap

I was going to use the recipe out of the ball blue book. You boil them for like 10 minutes, hot pack them with water and salt, process for 40 minutes at I think 10 pounds. Does that sound about right? Or do you have a better way

I do mine about the same way. I put my cut taters in water, put it on the stove and apply the heat. Once the water comes to a boil, I boil for two minutes then go back to the Ball book. Just like packing the jars with a little sturdier potato. I’m about 3500 feet so I pressure cook at 12#.

wdaly do they soften up then after processing. I think it would be nice to just heat them up and eat them for a quick meal camping or at the hunting shack
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

kyle They do soften up but are still pretty versatile. I like having canned items to take in the camper to save refrigerator room. These make great potato soup or fried potatoes.

kyle I had a jar of the potatoes that didn’t seal. Does them in the fridge overnight and made potato salad this morning. I like my potatoes in salad too still have a firm bite. These were just right. The nice thing is how fast it is to make tater salad when the taters are already done.

never done taters but have wanted to might put on the list

craigrice we ended up with almost 3 bushel, from what I read thin skinned taters have less starch and are better for canning. This weekend I am going to can some of my reds and give it a try

Have never canned potatoes, but we used to pheasant hunt in Kansas over thanksgiving and we would cook a turkey on a grill out in the field and my brother in law would always bring canned potatoes, I thought they were pretty good.
-
they are also good in a sheet pan meal or in a seafood boil to save time

I haven’t gave up on the garden yet. My tomatoes and peppers are still doing good and I planted English peas for the first time ever.
