it is! I love making a huge amount and canning it in lunch-sized amounts too.

Sounds like it is a soup that would be good for an adventurous palate!

You can make it more or less spicy by adjusting the chilis and such. If you leave out the jalapenos and the pepper sauce, it's actually quite mild.

that's a lot of canning. Unless one has done it, they can't appreciate the work that goes into it!

SO TRUE!!!!! That's why we CAN appreciate all that work!!! It's also why we can admire the shelves of canned goods with such awe.

Hubby and I spent last evening canning apple pie filling. The recipe called for apple chunks cold packed, then covered with a syrup made of water, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, seasoning, and processing in HWB x 20 minutes for quart jars. So... so, so, VERY not impressed with this recipe. The syrup, I could eat a bowl full of it with a spoon! But, every single jar siphoned A LOT. They did seal, but... what a mess to clean up.
Remaining apples will be lightly seasoned and HOT packed with a bit of apple cider to initiate the boil. Then, when I want apple sauce, all I have to do is lightly mash or use a smart stick on them. Apple pie: add thickener and adjust seasoning when the jar contents go into the shell.

Shame it didn't go the way you wanted it to - but I'm sure it'll be delicious.

I like canning more versatile ingredients anyway... you never know just HOW you will want those apples. If you go easy on the seasoning, you could use them with onions for a pork roast too.
