Oh, I didn't list what's in the plan for the rest of the summer--our season up here is behind many of yours in the south so we have yet to do:

dill pickles
bread & butter pickles
plum jam
apricot jam
nectarine jam
raspberry peach jam
peaches
pears
apples
applesauce
crabapple jelly
crabapple butter
Newhouse Farm chutney

Newhouse Farm Chutney

1 sugar pumpkin
4 large cooking apples
2 lbs tomatoes (10 medium)
4 onions, chopped
red pepper flakes and salt to taste
1 tsp of each: allspice, mustard seeds, peppercorns, paprika
2 cups raisins or currants
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
4 cups red wine vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)

Peel and roughly chop the veggies, crush any whole spices with mortar and pestle or spice grinder, place all ingredients in large pan and bring to boil. Turn down heat and leave to simmer for 3 hours or until contents take on a jamlike consistency and a wooden spoon drawn across the base of the pan leaves a trail that doesn't fill in with liquid. Pack into pints and process 20 minutes (water bath). Nice with "ploughman's lunch " or any cold meat sandwich.
and when I get the pressure canner fired up again for convenience meals I plan to try a new recipe I found for:

Barbecue Sandwiches

2 quarts canned tomatoes
3 onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp dry mustard
salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce to taste
1/4 cup pickling spice
4 lb pork or beef roast, chopped (about 6 cups)

Combine first 8 ingredients, tie pickling spices in cheesecloth bag and add to sauce, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Remove spice bag, add meat to sauce, cover and heat through. Pack into pint jars leaving 1" headspace, process 75 minutes at 10 lbs pressue (correct for altitude, I need 12 lbs). Serve in buns with coleslaw.
