The garden is bursting with life and the tomatoes are finally staring to ripen. Which means, it’s time to can. My Dad found me a pressure canner at a garage sale yesterday for $8. What a deal. New they run close to $90. I’ve been canning the “old fashioned” way by putting cans in a huge pot of boiling water that takes forever but with the new canner, it takes just minutes and only an inch of water and it doesn’t turn the kitchen into a sauna in August. Thanks Dad!
Stay tuned, I’ll post a “How To Can” article with step-by-step instructions later this week. If you have any questions, send them to me now.
Hey Dan!!! garden looks great…Keith & I just canned green beans and peppers and can’t wait to eat them…hummmm!!
Nice post DS. I can’t wait to see your tips for canning. my wife and I have big plans for the garden next year! 😀
Hello. Do you ever have your produce/canned goods at the Sat. Hudson Farmer’s market? – or offer tours/classes at your farm?
Dan, this is AWESOME! I had no idea you had such farming skills. You and your family have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Hi DesignHaus! I don’t sell at the Hudson Farmer’s Market but I do attend weekly. I haven’t thought about tours or classes at the farm but that’s a great idea! I’m going to look into it 🙂
I also go to the market weekly. If you do open your farm for a tour, please let me know! Maybe classes thru the HCER? – Just an idea.
