If they are seedless grapes, you can just put a light syrup over them and can them in a water bath, or steam canner for about 20 minutes and they should be fine. I have done them before.

It is a lot of work, but I take great pride in seeing all the pretty jars filled with such variety. I know it's all clean, no harmful additives and it just tastes better. Fortunately, canning season doesn't last too long. If it got in the way of my stitching, I might just have to quit!

What recipe do you use for your tomato salsa? Do you have to pressure can it? I have tons of tomatoes right now. Thanks!

The roe isn't actually canned, but simply jarred and refrigerated. I took the picture because it was so pretty. It's salmon caviar and I use it on sushi rolls and stuff. It's really yummy.

Canned salmon is wonderful. Had a friend who would open the jar & stir it all up & spread on crackers. Takes 90 minutes to process :thumbdown:

I want to do some canning, but don't want to use a pressue cooker. Can anyone tell me some simple things to can and how to do it? I did can some tomatoes this year, but I would like to can other things or maybe make other things with the tomatoes. I have a garden this year and have been getting tons of stuff out of it, most of which I have frozed, but now the freezer is full. Also, there is a peach orchard not far from me where you can pick your own. Later this fall I will be able to pick greens from a friend's garden. No room to freeze them, so what can I do?

You could make peach and tomatoe chutneys, they only have to be water bathed instead of pressure canned. They are so yummy. Look in your Kerr or ball canning recipes. Many things are jarred and water bathed.

I like to can anything as long as I don't have to use a pressure cooker. Thanks for all the ideas. What is the difference between jarring and water bathing?
