Finally was able to make some jelly. I have had these in the freezer for 2 years. 12 half pints of chokecherry jelly and 7 pints of chokecherry syrup. Still have about 4 gallons of chokecherries left and 2 gallons of sand plums. Just ran out of time today.
That’s quite a bit of work. We have chokecherry trees and sand plums all over the place around here. We used to make wine and jam out of them, some good stuff, but a lot of work.

YooperDog it is a lot of work! The whole time I’m doing it I just think how good the jelly is on toast!!!

GWG8541 I have used a few different ways but the way I do it now I like the best. I cut the roots in to chunks after peeling and put them in a blender. I then run blender to get roots chopped up and then shut it off and let it sit for about 5 minutes to let chemical reaction happen. I then ad vinegar to it and blend to consistancy that you like. I like mine fairly thick so I don’t add any more than needed. I only make it in small batches so it doesn’t lose it’s heat before I use it

sixpoint I make chokecherry jam also

wdaly That is true. Its a chemical reaction goin on. If you don’t like it as hot you can add vinegar sooner

RON PARRISH do you ever add sugar to it? I’ve heard that makes it hotter too?

ND Mike I have never tried that.

I’m not much of a gardener. but I have grown jalapenos on my deck to red and smoked with mesquite until dry for chipotle powder.
I like to cold pack pressure can beef. Absolutely delicious, like left over pot roast anytime you want. My favorite thing to make with this is beef and gravy over biscuits. Beef and noodles are good too.

marzig20 The beef looks great. I also can meat (beef and chicken). There’s a Ball recipe for beef in red wine sauce that is exceptional.

marzig20 that sounds great I have to try that with some venison.

wdaly I’ve never canned chicken, sounds good. I think any meat can be canned. Do you cold or hot pack.
marzig20 I honestly don’t know the difference between hot or cold packing. I’ll ask my wife how she cans our chicken
