I didn't know you didn't like it! I couldn't stand it at first, but the Dearliest grew up with it and gradually converted me.<br /><br />Chipolte and chutney are two things you can do with fruit that are more unusual. One of my sister-in-laws brought over a raspberry chipolte (store bought) and served it over cream cheese with crackers. It was SO GOOD and I'm definitely going to try making some, I think. The spiced peaches sounds wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233169350813904847.post-6599634157443461522012-07-20T17:11:40.265-07:002012-07-20T17:11:40.265-07:00Wow, that sounds delicious!

I wonder if there is anything other than jam that you can make with fruit. I guess apple pie filling or applesauce or something. A friend of mine preserved 'spiced peaches' with cinnamon and nutmeg! That sounds yummy! I think I will wait on the vinegar/veggies until a later date. <br /><br />Anyhoo - my main goal was to learn now so that when I have my super duper awesome garden for the first time next year, I will have the ability to preserve the overstock. <br /><br />Share your favorite canning recipes with me some time! I'd love to try them! :)charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105496840631231079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233169350813904847.post-41249778495634257372012-07-20T16:43:17.060-07:002012-07-20T16:43:17.060-07:00Yay!

I love strawberry jam and it's the one thing I purpose every year to do and never have.<br /><br />I tried one batch of apricot preserves but messed up and lost it, and I need to get more lids before I can do more, alas. I have been storing up fruit, however, and I have raspberries and apricots and will soon have blueberries all in the freezer waiting for processing. Do you have plans to can more this summer? :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
