Canning Recipes

Pickles, Corn and Peaches
from Pam Soelberg!


DILL PICKLES

3 QTS water

1 QT vinegar

1 cup salt

Fill bottle with desired cucumbers, mix dill plant in and around cucumbers.

Bring liquid to a boil, and fill bottle and seal.

Liquid can be stored in fridge, until gone, just bring to a boil before you fill bottle.

Pickles ready to eat after they sit for 5 months.

MOM’S SWEET PICKLES

25 cucumbers 4-5” long

Slice into ¼” pieces

Put in crock. Cover, do not let air inside. (no peeking). Soak for 10 days in salt water. (Enough salt to float an egg).

Then on 11th day rinse cucumbers. Soak in alum water overnight (enough alum the size of a walnut)

On 12th day. Bring to a boil 1 QT vinegar

1 TBSP whole cloves

4-5 sticks cinnamon

2 QT sugar

Pour over rinsed cucumbers. Let stand 24 hours, drain syrup off of cucumbers, bring syrup to a boil, pour over cucumbers. Repeat process a total of four times. All in the crock.

On last boil, I will put cucumbers in a quart jar, while syrup is boiling, then pour syrup over cucumbers. Put lid on and seal. Best if you can wait until Thanksgiving to eat.

FROZEN CORN

Buy enough dozen ears of corn to please your family. I usually buy 20 dozen. (This makes 40-50, 2-3 cup bags of corn)

Cut corn off of cob with electric knife. When all corn is cut.

In heavy pan cook:

8 cups raw corn

1 cup water

1 square BUTTER (not good with margarine)

2 TBSP sugar

1 TBSP salt

Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally so bottom does not burn.

Fill sink with ½ bag ice. Pour corn into a metal boil that is sitting in the sink to cool. When cool

Bag into serving size to please your family.

Freeze. Put in microwave to cook when ready to serve add pepper to taste.

FREEZER PEACHES

(Great for diabetics)

12 oz Frozen juice concentrate

3-4 cups sugar or artificial sweetener

Mix in a large bowl until sugar is mixed in well.

Peel and slice peaches, mixing into orange juice mixture with a slotted spoon.

Keep adding peaches until covered in sauce. Put into quart freezer bags, draining off juice.

Continue until juice in all gone. Will last in freezer for years.
