Pineapple Fruit Salsa

  • 4 cups cubed, peeled, seeded papaya
  • 2 cups cubed,peeled, and cored fresh pineapple
  • ½ cup seeded, chopped banana peppers
  • 1 cup raisins (golden) (optional)
  • 1 cup of lemon juice
  • ½ cup of lime juice
  • ½ cup of pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons green onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar packed


Mango Salsa Recipe

  • 3 Cups peeled and chopped Mango
  • 3 Cups chopped tomatoes
  • 4 Tbs fresh minced cilantro
  • 2 Tbs minced seeded jalepeno pepper, adjust amount to your taste
  • 2 tsp peeled minced fresh ginger

Prepare the boiling water bath and make sure that the lids and jars are being heated in water that is simmering for use, though you should keep them from boiling. Mix all the ingredients together into a large stainless steel saucepan or pot and then bring them to a boil, while stirring constantly. Boil gently until the entire mixture is slightly more thick; this should take about ten minutes. Then put the salsa into the hot jars with ½ an inch head space. After this, the jars will need to be sealed and processed. Check the seals after processing and label and date using the home canning labels included with your pectin box.

Canned Bruschetta

  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup white wine vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • 5 cloves of minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons of oregano
  • 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
  • 9 cups of cored, peeled, chopped plum tomatoes

According to the Ball canning recipes, you should sterilize the jars by boiling them for 10 minutes before filling. Put all the ingredients except for the tomatoes into a stainless steel saucepan and bring them to a rolling boil with high heat. Stir to make sure that the heat gets evenly distributed and then reduce the heat, letting it simmer under cover for five minutes. Ideally, the garlic will be heated through. Use the tomatoes to pack the lower halves of all the jars and then ladle the hot vinegar mix on top of the tomatoes.

While removing the air bubbles, wipe the rim and then apply the band. After that, you will be able to process your ball canning jars, remembering to check them for a good seal after 1/2 hour.

Home Canning Meat is something that a lot of people are a little wary about, but the truth is that it is not nearly as hard as you might think that it is. For instance, Canning Fish is very straightforward.

Canning Fish

  • Raw Tuna or Salmon, cut into chunks that will fit your jars.
  • Coarse Salt
  • Vinegar,Oil,Water

Prepare the jars through boiling in your water bath canner them, and be as thorough as you can. Then arrange the salmon in the jars tightly, leaving one half inch of headspace.Whether you put it skin side in or skin side out is largely a matter of personal preference, though leaving the skin side out can have it sticking to the inside of the jar.

Don't worry about removing bones because they will become soft in the canning process. Top the jars off with coarse salt. Use 1 teaspoon for pint jars and ½ teaspoon for half pint jars.

The vinegar is optional, you could use water as well, but you will discover that it can make the bones much softer and easier to eat later on. Do not add too much liquid as the salmon will exude some oils on its own, filling the jar. Process in a pressure canner at 11 pounds of pressure for 100 minutes.

Sometimes the sterilization step will make your jars cloudy with the minerals from the water. To keep your jars lovely and clear just add some white vinegar to the processing water. It will keep white streaks from appearing on the glass.
