Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate (BBB)

Mar
20


I’m happy when I’m baking bread. I’m happy when I’m canning. These are two things that feel good. Even if I’m having a bad day, they improve it. And a good day? That’s even better. It’s all about the creating, and for me, that is most true in the kitchen. This week, I canned up a batch of Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate in my steam canner–which I love, by the way. (It’s actually a dual-use canner, so you can operate it like a regular boiling water bath canner or use it as a steam canner. I only use it as a steam canner. In steam canning, you only use 2-3 quarts of water. I love that. No more heavy pots of water! In case you’re interested, this is my steam canner. Just wanted to mention this at the start of the new garden and canning season. If you can get yourself one of these steam canners, you will be so happy.)

Back to the Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate–I’ve been starting to get out in the gardens. It’s warm already here! Surprise spring! And I thought about all those warm (aka hot) days to come, and how I’d like a refreshing something after working outside. Mix this concentrate 50/50 with water, ginger ale, or even some vino over ice after a hard day hoeing. (I’m just kidding. I don’t hoe!) I picked this recipe out of the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. This is sort of like an expanded Ball Blue Book. It has some of the same recipes, plus many more, with pictures, and of course all of the trusted Ball instructions for beginners, too. If you need this book today, let me know!

    That’s a nice looking steam canner. I’ve never used a steam canner before. It is exactly the same as a pressure canner?

    You said you only use it as a steamer. Does that mean you don’t process anything by the boiling water bath method?

    Thanks for the info.

    My Mom used to can and preserve every fall when my sisters and I were kids. I remember sneaking into the cellar to snatch a jar of tomato and zucchini with onions. That stuff was DELISH with crackers LOL! My Mom has gotten older and isn’t able to do those things anymore. She did tell me that she wants to can with me this year while she feels like she still can do a little. It would be awesome to have this book for us to go through and pick out some recipes to work on together. Thanks so much for YOUR generosity! :butterfly: (BBB)

    I have not been aware of this type of steam canner. Hope it’s available in my part of the world because this is exactly what I should have, especially this summer when I’ll be canning a lot of Zucchini Relish for our daughter’s wedding favours! I too am happiest when canning and/or baking bread. Please enter my “number” for the BBB. Thanks!

    Hi, Suzanne–Please don’t enter me in the drawing as I have a copy of the book and it should go to someone else. I just wanted to say, though, that I have this steam canner, also, and I love it! My only problem is that I’m so short that I have to stand on a stool to read the dial when it’s sitting on my stove :lol: But not having to lug a BWB canner full of water from the sink to the stove is a godsend!

    I’m just now off to find that Chokecherry Jelly recipe on this site and would very much like to win that BBB book too! I’m gearing up for a good canning season and am so pleased to have found your directions to make violet jelly. I used to just dry the petals and use them in sugar cookies but now I can venture further afield. You are right, the blossoms only last a week or so! I got a chuckle out of your “picking pad” as I too use one of those spongey things to kneel on!.

    I would love to have a copy of this book. A bigger question–How in the world do you manage to have a garden and not hoe??

    The strawberry lemonade concentrate sounds wonderful. That is a good idea. I would love a Ball Canning book, I just started getting back into canning this last year and I am definitely going to do more this year. My husband works for a farm that does vegetable stands and brings home lots of vegi’s and fruits since our garden is very small. Whatever fits on our porch, we are in an apartment for now.BBB for me.

    Suzanne, the Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate with the vino sounds great. From one gardener to another, would love for you to send the BBB my way.

    I’ve been reading your blog for a little while now but this is my first time commenting here. I couldn’t resist as this book looks wonderful. We bought an acreage complete with apple orchard 2 years ago and I’m just starting to get my head around canning.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
