| Sunny chopping peaches and cherries for her jam |
Here's a great end of summer thing to do with your friends: a canning party! My friend and fellow white trash Sunny had never canned anything before and wanted a tutorial. We met up at Toni's kitchen (hers is the largest): Sunny, Toni, Stacey, and me. We all brought cans enough for us and to share, plenty of produce to pickle and can. We spent about 4 hours and came away with quarts, pints and half pints of peach/cherry jam, drunken cherries, drunken peaches, pickled jalapenos, sriracha pickles, dilly beans, lemon curd, and pickled onions. The sriracha pickles were an experiment. I added sriracha sauce (hubby's favorite all time condiment. It finds its way onto everything from huevos rancheros to chili) to pickle brine. The brine came out pink, and smelled nice, but they need to set a while before I open them. All the other recipes we found on the web and they all turned out great, as far as we can tell!
