Preserving Round-up: August Urban Farm Challenge (a little late)

Fall is here. It has been for weeks, but I’m behind the world right now, and in a little bit of denial. I still have a box of tomatoes from the garden ripening in the garage and squash (the squash trellis was a success, I haven’t weighed my take yet, but I would guess that I have at least 50 pounds) has been stored in the basement pantry.

The August Urban Farm Handbook Challenge was preserving, and though I didn’t get to posting, I did preserve in August…mostly pickles. I thought I’d post a preserving round-up of recipes on the blog as a kind of index for the year.

Here are links to some of the things I’ve canned this year:

Rhubarb Syrup
Pickled Red Onion
Orange Meyer Lemon Marmelade
Preserved Strawberries in Syrup
Preserving Cherries
Citrus Preserves
Rhubarb Chutney
Wine Jelly
Dilly Beans

Next up, I’m planning on giving this recipe for Caramel Apple Jam a try, hopefully this week, and this one from Mrs. Wheelbarrow for Caramel Pear Preserves . ( Mrs. Wheelbarrow has announced that there is a book in her future. If you haven’t looked at her blog, you probably should. She is at the top of my list of food/canning bloggers and I can’t wait for her book!)

What did you can this year? Anything new on your list? Anything I should try next year?
