Gardening, canning, pickling and everything related

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.

Canned homemade pizza sauce this morning. I dont grow tomatoes tho, so I start with canned store bought puree. -

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.

cdavis Your garden looks great for this late in the year. You’ve definitely taken care of it.

cdavis My garden has been put away for the winter. All that is left is a few stray beets. The hard frost on Tuesday took everything out, even the covered plants. The tree’s started dropping their leaves even. Pulled all the plants, put them in the compost bin and turned the soil over for winter.

johnsbrewhouse We’re right at that point with our garden. We had flurries & cold rain in the afternoon & evening and a hard frost last night, 28*. Luckily I tilled last Friday & Saturday and we got our garlic in for over the winter. We still have a few covered tomato & pepper plants but not really expecting to glean much more off them. Kind of sad to see the garden go for the year but now it’s time to think about & plan next years garden!

Picked about two bushels of apples off my Granny Smith tree Tuesday, getting chilly at night here now.

Bob Stehlik My tomato’s and peppers were both covered and are in raised beds, but it stayed to cold overnight for them to survive. The tomato’s really know when the cold is coming. You are at a bit higher elevation than us being in CO. I’m only at 410 ft., we have had snow down to 2500- 3000 ft. on Tuesday in the mountains 45 miles from me. Mt. Rainier is no longer bare.
