Ack! It won't let me post the list with links here in the comments, so I added it to the end of the post above. Scroll up to see every salsa canning recipe I can find.
A lovely post, Ashley. Thanks for sharing and the photos are great! Pancake looks like future 'trouble' as most pups... guess we will be hearing more about that! You are putting out good work, a great service, Ashley. Good medicine! Thank you.
Wow! You have been insanely busy! This winter, you will be grateful, I know, but you must be exhausted! I have never seen a cuter puppy. I love the one ear up and the other down.
Sea buckthorn has always worried me because of its spreading and its thorns. I don't know what type yours is, but do you find it is an issue? I've often thought that it would be a good one to "guerilla" plant!
I've just started canning this year and am surprised at how easy it really is. I haven't done much, but I did just receive a metal shelving unit that I will put together tomorrow on which to store all of the jars, etc. Right now, my kitchen is overrun with pickles, blueberries and pear sauce which will be much nicer put on a shelf out of my way. I plan to can some grape juice, too. There is no room in the freezer, so if I want it, it's got to be canned.
Your quince is like my peach; it actually bloomed for the first this year...it might have done a little last year, but then we had that cold snap...anyway, I've waited six years and only two peaches came to fruition. My quince, which is only three has about twenty fruit on it. I've never really had quince, so I, too, am very excited to try them. When I read the title of this entry, I thought that mine were not developing like they should...then below you specified how yours weren't quite ripe yet, either. It's nice that all of the fruit doesn't ripen at once, but is spread out across the year. I think I'll particularly like the fall things because with the pickles, it seemed like they needed to be done on the hottest days of the year...I will much prefer to stand over a pot of boiling water when there is a little chill in the air.
So where you are Barbara, sea buckthorn may be invasive. It loves dry climates with sandy soil, which is the opposite of what we have. I've been babying our patch for 10 years, but our soil is too darn wet for it to really go crazy. It does have the potential though.
Local farms don't have quince until sometime in October and ours are no where near what I'd consider full size. I'm not worried about them yet, they look like they're taking their time, but that's ok.
We're just the opposite of you, and now we've got a good bit of chill in the air. (40 F outside when I work up this morning)!
I live in Middlebury, VT. It was chilly this am and I resorted to putting on slippers and a robe! It's funny how once the calendar turns to September, everything changes; while we still have warm days, there is a very different feel to the air and the light is so different. I love the long shadows and the clarity of the air. On sunny days, the blue of the sky is so much more intense.
I do have sandy soil, so I'm leery about sea buckthorn, although watching "Canadian Permaculture Legacy" and hearing Keith sing the praises of it, I'm tempted to try. I know it needs full sun. I guess the trick would be to plant it where I could mow all around it for quite a swath...or backing it up against a shady area.
Of course! The tomatoes in red wine are the same as canning tomatoes in water, and you do still need to use the lemon juice. The only difference is you use red wine as a canning liquid instead of water. I like to put 1 cup in the bottom of a quart (with the lemon juice, before adding the tomatoes) or 1/2 cup in the bottom of a pint to ensure that the red wine flavor gets all the way through the jar. Then they're filled once packed with more red wine (or white wine works too). I'm going to write this one up for my canning site shortly, but here's the basics of canning tomatoes, and you just need to switch out the water for wine: https://practicalselfreliance.com/canning-tomatoes/
I have a good (tho a bit "vinegary" pasta sauce recipe and salsa recipe. Happy to share if you are interested. I took a Jean Paré recipe and 'tweaked' it and have been making both for 5+ years now. Love your blog....thank you for your wisdom.

A Corgi Puppy!!!! I have 2, one is red and Milo is 6 years old and a Maine Coon Cat age 6..our second corgi is 10 year old tri-color Keeghan...We adore these puppies..We have a fenced in yard we call the Corgi playground.. Mine are overweight and on diets. Fiercely protective, barks at a gnat farting, and all around a pain in the butt sometimes..but, I sure love them. Keeghan was bought for my late husband. Both boys went into a depression after he passed. They grieved and took a few months. Especially Keeghan. He has latched on to my son I live with, Josh. This is good. Milo is my dog and stays basically around me.
Good luck with Pancake!!! Patience is good. Lots of exercise. I don't let mine roam free as there are bear, fox, hawks, etc. Both are too big for a hawk, but still. Good luck, Kari

I am always amazed by everything you do Ashley. Many of the fruits and vegetables you use I’ve never heard of! Thank you!

Ashley, your list of ‘things canned’ is amazing. I will look up a couple of them to see if I can recreate.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Kristy
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for putting up safe and tested recipes. I have seen a lot of sketchy posts lately.
gracias por tu generosidad y talento que siempre compartes con todos tus seguidores
¡De nada! Me alegra compartirlo contigo.
Ashley, thank you for your wonderful posts. Would you share how you can the tomatoes in red wine AND the cassoulet you plan to use them in?
Oh, and here's the simplified cassoulet we make here in the winter months: https://adamantkitchen.com/easy-cassoulet/

I like the stackable mason jars , Seaberry and Quince.
Your posts are great, hope to see more of them.
Informative

Oh I'd love your recipe! I'm always looking for new ones!
Pancake is beautiful and the silk moth most interesting.
Thanks Kathy!
Pancake is precious!
Super cute pup!! And I love your idea for cucamelons; they always seemed so novelty that I haven’t tried growing them yet.
They are fun, and my little ones love them...growing them gets them out to the garden like nothing else.
Do you have a recipe for tomatoes in red wine? I tried googling but only found recipes for red wine tomato sauce.
