We love requests and questions. Coming up with new topics every day (we have now passed 600 days of daily updates without missing a singe one) can really stretch the brain and sometimes takes longer than actually writing the article. A question is a gift – saves some time and makes that days post a [...]

Canning Tomato Sauce – Preserving Summer
Posted in Canning (Waterbath), tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on July 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Although I ate a lot of jam, this is where things started for me. My Parents (one is Acadian and the other line is Scottish Celt ancestry) have little tomato canning in their family histories. Both families have been in Canada for 100s of years and neither placed a premium on canning tomato sauce. Through [...]
Canning Peaches in Several Forms – Preserving Summer
Posted in Canning (Waterbath), tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on July 7, 2010 | 4 Comments »
This post is going to be a bit of the `best of` as peaches are a bit of a soft spot for me. I`ve long adored them and we`ve posted several different takes on them. Peaches also tend to be the thing that I learn things the hard way with. I`ll share a few gaffes [...]
Infusing Vodka with Hot Peppers (Preserving Summer)
Posted in Infusing, tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on July 6, 2010 | 4 Comments »
It is a great myth that preserving takes a long time or takes a great deal of skill. Infusing is super easy and the results can be astounding. To infuse Vodka with hot peppers, do the following: Place a hot pepper (whole) in a mason jar. Fill Mason jar with Vodka. Store in a cool, dark [...]
Pressure Canning Peas and Beans (Preserving Summer)
Posted in Pressure Canning, tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on July 5, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Like many people, my personal interest in preserving started with jams. Our pantry is home to more than a dozen types of our own making while it is also home to another few dozen jars that were gifted, traded or purchased. Jam is a lot of fun to make though my relationship with it is [...]
Currants (and the Main Reason I Preserve Them)
Posted in Canning (Waterbath), tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on July 4, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I preserved currants for one main reason. It lets me write cheesy labels like “Currant Affairs” on jam tins. And that makes me happy. I also love them because I think that they are beautiful and they look so sickly sweet it’s as if they dare you not to take a bite. I am invariably [...]
Elderflower Coridal (an introduction to)
Posted in Canning (Waterbath), tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on July 3, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Elderflower Cordial is essentially a fresh sweet tea made in the early days of summer. Cordials are far more commonplace in the UK but rarer on this side of the ocean – including in our house (we have yet to make one). If I can find fresh elderflowers, I will indeed jump over this idea. If [...]
Raspberries (not zurberts)
Posted in General, Tips, Tricks and Troubleshooting, Infusing, tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on July 2, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I love raspberry jam. I just thought that there was an awful lot of sources for you to find ideas and recipes for it – so I thought I’d share some different options – vinegar and jelly. Making raspberry-infused vinegar isn’t much different than making tea (except that it`s different). It’s kind of like pickling raspberries [...]
Life`s a Bowl of Pits – Preserving Cherries
Posted in Canning (Waterbath), tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on July 1, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Nothing says love like cherries. Nothing. I lived in a kind-of commune (in so much as 2 friends rent a house and a bunch of other friends just keep moving in if you`re not looking kind of way) in Kelowna, B.C. many years ago. I spent the winter there between three seasons of backpacking Canada [...]
Preserving Berries – Kick out the jams…
Posted in Preserving (General Articles About it), tagged wellpreservedediblesummer on June 30, 2010 | 1 Comment »
We have 14 or 15 different types of jam in our pantry and I eat toast a few times a year. We use jam for cheese, in salad dressings, smoothies, cut it with balsamic to make a glaze and more. But more than a dozen different types of jam is more than enough and I’d [...]
