I can't believe I never commented on this thread before! :O

I can can. Well anyone can can. But I can.

I usually put up 100ish-150ish jars a year. Which is not a lot. I'm planting my garden to be a canning garden this year, with 200ish plum paste tomatoes, 2 50' patches of green beans, beets, corn, cucumbers and so much more.

I have canned:
Several different jams, my "signature" is strawberry lemonade jam
applesauce
pears in syrup
mangoes in syrup
grapefruit in syrup (waste of time)
peaches in syrup
juice concentrates (to be used to make juice or....to add to adult beverages)
green beans
corn
creamed corn
beets
beef broth
chicken broth
cubed venisun
french onion soup
salsas (tomatillo and reg)
pickles (cukes, peppers, beans, etc)
tomatoes (crushed, sauce)

I'm hoping for 500ish this year. Which is a large jump. I have the time, just not sure if I will produce the food...
