Homemade Canned Peaches by The Wood Grain Cottage

Canned Peaches

August 30, 2019

We've reached the final day of canning week! Today, let's go back to basics with canned peaches. This is perhaps one of the easiest and best places to start if you're new to canning.  Growing up, this is one of the recipes we'd always follow for both peaches and pears. And let me tell you, homemade canned peaches and pears are divine. They beat the taste of the store canned version any day. Bursting with flavor, the fruit tastes fresh and has great texture.   These peaches are perfect straight out of the jar, served with ice cream, yogurt, cottage cheese or they can be used in different types of recipes. You can even make homemade peach syrup from a jar! ...

Canned Peach Syrup

August 28, 2019

It's day two of our canning week and today it's all about homemade canned peach syrup! Have I ever told you how much I love homemade fruit syrup? It started when I was a little girl. My mom would cook pancakes for breakfast and she'd make the most delicious pear syrup from her canned pears to go with them. I can remember getting so excited. It was an absolute treat and such a perfect addition to pancakes. Ever since then, I've been hooked and I often make my own version from the various fruits I've either canned or froze. This year, when our neighbors peach tree ripened, they offered for us to pick as many peaches as we wanted. I took my 5 gallon bucket and filled it up in a matter of a ...

Canned Apple Pie Filling by The Wood Grain Cottage

Canned Apple Pie Filling

August 26, 2019

Welcome to the first day of canning week! Starting off our week, is canned apple pie filling! This recipe is seriously amazing. But before we dive into it, let me give you a little back story about my experience with canning.  Growing up, I was raised with a mom and family that loved to can. Every summer we'd have a big garden bursting with so much produce, we'd spend weeks canning everything and saving as much as possible. Our winter dinners, and so many other meals throughout the year, would almost always include some of our home canned items.  We would can everything from vegetables to fruit, and some of my best childhood memories are those spent around the kitchen ...

Raspberry Rhubarb Jam

August 14, 2014

It's really, really felt like fall lately. And as much as I've loved summer, I've been soaking up the slightly cooler temps and the few changes I've noticed in our surroundings. And to top it off, it's raining right now, which makes me want to snuggle up on the couch with a blanket and great book. :-D Anyways, as you might know, I live on a farm in rural Colorado. My parents have been farming large amounts of acreage, & raising cattle, since before I was born. With that, I grew up spending my summer & fall preserving and canning. Every year, my mom grows a big garden and we spend weeks, upon weeks canning everything from tomatoes, salsa, pickles, okra, homemade rotel, green beans, ...
