How does your winter garden grow?
After a couple of months I went into the garden to see if I could pull up the last of the carrots. We have not yet had a hard freeze here (a little dust of snow, but the ground hasn't frozen yet). …Continue

Canning Tuna

I have about 25 pounds of tuna in my freezer that will need to be thawed and canned. The recipe in my pressure cooker manual calls for baking the tuna first and then canning. Other recipes I have…Continue

After a couple of months I went into the garden to see if I could pull up the last of the carrots. We have not yet had a hard freeze here (a little dust of snow, but the ground hasn't frozen yet). I had some of the bigggest carrots I have ever seen! We planted a Nantes so they were short (because of our rocky ground) but probably four inches thick! So much for wintering over! I had also left the last crop of radishes to try to use the pods and let them go to seed. I had radishes growing the…See More

Sue Gee replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"Actually, I am getting a little burned out with the canning (for this season). I need to put the garden to bed for the winter and do some deep house cleaning (everything got so dusty after our dry summer). There are some knitting…"

Janet Buechler replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"You must be in the Pacific Northwest, as are we. We don't fish but tuna and salmon can be had at a reasonable price near home. We are still eating the last of the tomatoes and have quite a few carrots still in the ground. I froze…"
Sue Gee replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"We aren't quite that self-sufficent, but we do more each year. My hope is to put up some salmon next season. We don't fish, but a trip out to the Columbia River Gorge to purchase some from the tribes might be the way to go.…"
Janet Buechler replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"My goal has been to only need household products and perishables from the grocery store once a month. We live in earthquake country plus the possibility of big winter storms and I know we can live a long time with what we have put away from…"
Sue Gee replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"Sounds wonderful. Glad you used science based recipes from your canner and extension. Pressure canning can be done safely outside, but there are considerations with regard to the stove and weather conditions. You should post some…"
Janet Buechler replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"We canned two tuna. You are right. The smell took a week to get out of my house. But canning outside didn't sound safe on the camp stove. We have eaten several jars and are still here! Tastes delicious, but we…"
Sue Gee replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"This might be a little late, but canning fish really needs to be done correctly, for safety. You can download information off the OSU Extension website that gives safe instructions for canning tuna and other fish. The web address…"

CSA Cookoff: No-Cook Mason Jar Tomato Sauce
"A month ago I thought I could never have enough fresh tomatoes. Silly me. Anyway, what a great idea. I can't wait to try it this week. And using on bread sounds heavenly."
Janet Buechler replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"Thank you all. I think I will skip the cooking first, seeing as it is steaming in the pressure cooker for so long. I will definitely check out the pinterest posts (I am just figuring that out!)"
HOMEGROWN.org replied to Janet Buechler's discussion 'Canning Tuna'"Hey, Janet. Another excellent question! Here are some responses from HOMEGROWN's Facebook page
Babs Bugg McNeely Wouldn't the tuna cook while being canned? My mom would use orange roughie but I can't recall how. :( Yesterday at…"
Janet Buechler posted a discussionCanning Tuna
I have about 25 pounds of tuna in my freezer that will need to be thawed and canned. The recipe in my pressure cooker manual calls for baking the tuna first and then canning. Other recipes I have found online call for putting it into jars raw (with or without seasoning). How has anyone else done this? Is this a safety issue or just a preference? As you can tell, this will be my first time canning something other than vegetables in the pressure canner.See More
