Turkey stock
Put carcass in the pressure canner for 3 hrs @ 15 lb to extract everything. Strain bring to a boil put in jars and process in canner for 20 min pints 25 min quotes @10 psi.
Instructions
1. Start with leftover cooked turkey, already fully cooked. Debone the turkey and cut it into chunks or shred it, depending on your preference.
2. You can use turkey that has been roasted, baked, or even cooked in a slow cooker. Be sure to remove any skin and bones.
3.Bring turkey or chicken broth to a boil on the stove. If you don’t have homemade turkey broth, you can use store-bought broth or water. Homemade turkey broth will give the best flavor, but it’s not necessary if you don’t have any.
4. Add 2 to 3 inches of water to your pressure canner and set the bottom rack in place. Preheat it to a gentle simmer while you prep the jars.
5. Pack the shredded or cubed turkey into canning jars, leaving 1 1/4 inch of headspace. Be sure the meat is loosely packed, so the broth can circulate between the meat during the canning process.
6. Optionally, add 1 tsp of salt per quart or 1/2 tsp per pint for added flavor. Salt is optional and will not affect preservation, but it helps with texture and flavor.
7. Pour hot turkey broth (or water) over the turkey in each jar, maintaining the 1 1/4 inch headspace. Use a debubbler to remove any air pockets. If necessary, adjust the broth level to maintain proper headspace.
8. Wipe the rims of the jars to remove any oil or residue, and then cap them with two-part canning lids. Tighten the rings until finger-tight.
9. Load the filled jars into your preheated pressure canner using a jar lifter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for loading the jars properly.
10. Close the canner lid, but do not seal the vent yet. Bring the heat up to high and allow the canner to vent steam for 10 minutes before sealing the canner completely.
11. Once venting is complete, bring the canner up to the recommended pressure for your altitude and canner type (see notes). Process pint jars for 75 minutes and quart jars for 90 minutes.
12. When the canning time is complete, turn off the heat and allow the canner to cool down naturally. Don’t open the canner until the pressure has returned to zero and the canner is safe to open.
1. Seed and peel pumpkin, then cut into 1” cubes.
2. Place cubes in large stockpot, add water and bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
3. Fill jar with pumpkin cubes.
4. Add salt (1/2 tsp. per pint or 1 tsp. per quart) if desired.
5. Fill jar with cooking water, leaving 1”headspace.
6. Remove bubbles, wipe the rim clean, and place on your seal and ring.
7. Process in a pressure canner according to the directions below.
8. Process pints for 55 minutes or quarts for 90 minutes, adjusting for altitude.
If you prefer to can your kraut, pack the sauerkraut and juices into
pint or quart mason jars, leaving 2 inch headspace at the top of
each jar. Close the jars with two-piece caps. Immerse the jars in a
canner of water heated to about 140°F and bring the water to a boil.
Keeping the water at a gentle boil, process pint jars for 20 minutes,
quart jars for 25 minutes.
BASIC PICKLED Beets
7 pounds beets, with their rootlets and 2 inches of their tops,
well scrubbed
Two 4-inch cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces
1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons pickling salt
1 quart cider vinegar
2 cups water
1) Put the beets into a large pot and pour enough boiling water over
them to cover them. Return the water to a boil and boil the beets
for 15 to 35 minutes, depending on their size, until they are just
tender.
2) Drain the beets and cover them with cold water. When they are
cool, trim them and slip off their skins. If they are large, halve or
quarter them—or, if you like, slice all the beets into Y,-inch-thick
rounds.
3) Tie the spices in a spice bag or scrap of cheesecloth. Put this into a
nonreactive pot with both sugars, salt, vinegar, and water. Bring the
contents to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and
simmer the liquid, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
4 While the liquid simmers, pack the beets into pint or quart mason
jars. Pour the hot liquid over the beets, leaving 2 inch headspace.
Close the jars with two-piece caps. Process the jars for 30 minutes
ina boiling-water bath.
5) Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks
before eating the beets. After opening a jar, store it in the refrigerator.
From The Joy of Pickling pg 108
Ingredients
6 cups apple cider vinegar (5% acidity)
6 cups granulated sugar
½ cup chili flakes
½ cup garlic (peeled and chopped)
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 ½ tsp dried ginger
3 tbsp ClearJel (cook-type) (optional... you can omit but do NOT use cornstarch, arrowroot, or flour)
Instructions
Sweet Chili-Garlic Sauce and Canning Prep:
Fill a large stock pot or boiling water canner with water and begin to preheat the canner. Wash your canning jars in hot soapy water. Check your rings for dents and count your lids to make sure you have enough. Boil or keep your jars warm, but do not heat your lids.
Peel and chop the garlic cloves. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine with the salt and the soy sauce. Measure the sugar into a large bowl, and add the dried ginger (you can also measure the sugar and ginger directly into the pot in step four if you want to save a dish).
Measure the vinegar into a large heavy bottomed pot. If you are using powdered pectin, sprinkle that into the pot and whisk well to break up any clumps. Bring vinegar to a boil over high heat.
Add sugar and ginger and stir until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes.
Add the chili flakes and the garlic mixture to the pot and stir until well combined. Turn the heat to low and simmer for three to five minutes.
Fill the Jars:
Remove the pot from the heat and ladle the sauce into your hot canning jars. Use a canning funnel if you have one to help keep the chili sauce off the rims of the jars. Stir the sauce as you go so the jars get an even distribution of ingredients (the chili floats and the garlic sinks).
Leave 1/4″ of headspace at the top of each jar. If you have extra sauce, refrigerate it rather than overfilling or underfilling the jars.
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, lint free cloth or paper towel dipped in hot water, vinegar, or a mixture of the two. This will remove any sticky residue from the rims of your jars and help make sure you get good seals. Top the jars with lids and rings, and place them in your canner using a jar rack or tongs.
Process the Sauce:
Process the jars in the boiling water bath for ten minutes. Start the processing timer only after the pot reaches a rolling boil. (If you live at high elevation, consult a canning time conversion chart to increase the processing time accordingly for your altitude).
After the jars have boiled for ten minutes, turn off the heat and set another timer for five minutes, leaving the jars in the covered pot. This will help prevent siphoning (losing liquid from the jars).
Using jar tongs or the jar rack, lift out the jars and place them on a tray, a wire rack, or a folded towel. Don’t place hot jars directly onto a cold surface (like a stone, concrete, or stainless counter top surface). Leave the jars undisturbed to cool overnight, or from 8-24 hours.
Remove the rings from the cooled jars and check to make sure your lids are firmly sealed. Refrigerate any unsealed jars, or you can reheat the mixture and reprocess with new lids. Wash the jars to remove any sugar or sticky residue and hard water marks, label them, and store them in your pantry without the rings on.

Pickled Sweet Green Pepper Strips
MAKES 4 PINTS
THESE SWEET, SOUR, CRUNCHY STRIPS are a wonderful addition
to salads or accompaniment for dips such as hummus
and baba ghanoush.
4 thin slices fresh ginger (I used powered)
4 small garlic cloves
2 teaspoons pickling salt
2 pounds green bell or pimiento peppers, cut into Y2-inch
lengthwise strips
2 cups white wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar
2 cups water
1 1/4 cups sugar
Divide the ginger, garlic, and salt evenly among 4 pint mason jars.
Pack the pepper strips snugly into the jars.
In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, and sugar. Bring the contents
to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then reduce the heat
and cover the pan. Simmer the liquid, covered, for 5 minutes.
Pour the hot liquid over the pepper strips, leaving 2 inch headspace,
and close the jars with two-piece caps. Process the jars for 10
minutes in a boiling-water bath, or immerse them for 30 minutes in
water heated to 180° to 185°F.
Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks
before eating the peppers. After opening a jar, store it in the
refrigerator.

Marinated Sweet Peppers
MAKES 3 PINTS
IN THIS RECIPE the peppers are softened by blanching, not roasting, so no peeling is necessary.
The pickling liquid makes a good salad dressing.
2 1/4 pounds pimiento or bell peppers
(green, red, yellow, or a mix of colors)
3 small garlic cloves
3 thyme, marjoram, or oregano sprigs
1 cup white wine vinegar, or more if needed
1 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt
1 cup olive oil
1) Put the peppers into a large bowl and cover them with boiling
water. Let them stand for 3 minutes or until they are flexible.
2) Drain the peppers and cover them with ice water. When they have
thoroughly cooled, drain them well. Put a garlic clove and an herb sprig
into each of 3 pint mason jars. If the peppers are very long, cut
them in half. Pack the peppers into the jars.
In a nonreactive saucepan, heat the vinegar and salt. As soon as the
liquid comes to a boil, add the olive oil. Bring the contents to a boil
again. Immediately pour the hot mixture over the peppers, leaving
2 inch headspace. The liquid should just cover the peppers; if it
doesn’t, add a little more vinegar. Close the jars with two-piece
caps. Process the jars for 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath, or immerse them for 30 minutes in- water heated to 180° to 185°F.
Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the peppers. After opening a jar, store it in the refrigerator.

This is the same recipe for the Whole Peperoncini peppers but these are cut into rings
Low temperature processing
Honeyed Jalapeño Rounds
Although the jalapeño is probably the most popular chile in North America, the many
cultivars sold today vary so much that some are barely recognizable as jalapeños. Big ones,
looking more like Anaheims, are meant for stuffing. Others have had all their heat bred out of
them. For this pickle you want traditional jalapeños—small and hot, but not too hot. If you
can’t find them, consider using serranos instead. The pickle will be particularly appealing if
you mix green and red peppers.
You can seed the peppers or not, as you wish (but wear gloves if you do). After cutting the
peppers into rings, you can take out most of the seeds with a grapefruit spoon (a pointed
teaspoon with serrated sides) or a swivel-style vegetable peeler. Then put the rings into a
colander, and rinse off the seeds still clinging to the peppers. Some people cut the peppers
into rounds and then seed each round with the tip of an apple corer.
Though popular with my readers, this recipe has frustrated me: The peppers soften too
much. To keep them a bit firmer, you can add a pinch of Pickle Crisp (calcium chloride; see
here) to each jar just before processing. For still crisper peppers, you can treat the pepper
rounds with lime, as recommended by the National Center for Home Food Preservation:
Soak them in limewater (1 1/2 cups pickling lime to 1 1/2 gallons water) in the fridge for 18
hours, stirring occasionally; rinse them; and then soak them three times in cold water, for 1
hour at a time, rinsing between soaks.
In the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s version of this recipe the peppers are “coldpacked”—
that is, they are put into jars raw. Cold-packing may lessen softening, but it can
also cause the peppers to float in the jars. For cold-packed pepper rings that don’t float, try
the variation that follows.
Pickled jalapeño rounds are usually used as a table condiment, to spoon right into tacos or
black bean soup.
Makes 8 to 10 half-pints
24 to 30 whole black peppercorns
8 to 10 small garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons Mixed Pickling Spices
1 quart cider vinegar (5 percent)
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons pickling salt
2 1/4 pounds jalapeño peppers, cut into 3/16-inch rings and, if you like, seeded
4 tablespoons olive oil
1. Put three peppercorns and a garlic clove into 8 half-pint mason jars. Have 2 more
half-pint jars ready in case you need them.
2. Tie the spices in a spice bag or scrap of cheesecloth and put it into a saucepan with
the vinegar, honey, and salt. Bring the contents slowly to a boil. Add the pepper rings,
and bring the contents back to a simmer.
3. Divide the peppers among the jars, and pour the hot liquid over them, leaving a little
more than 1/2 inch headspace. Discard the spice bag. Pour about 1 1/2 teaspoons olive
oil into each jar and close the jars with two-piece caps. Process the jars for 10 minutes
in a boiling-water bath.
4. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the
peppers.
Cold-Packed Jalapeño Rounds
Follow the recipe, but toss the peppers with 4 teaspoons salt and let them stand,
preferably in the refrigerator, for 2 to 3 hours. Drain them well, but don’t rinse them
unless you’re trying to reduce your family’s salt intake. Heat the vinegar with the honey
and spices but without added salt; let the mixture simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Put
the pepper rounds into the mason jars with the peppercorns and garlic, and pour the hot
vinegar over. Add the olive oil, and process the jars
Notes:
cut to 1/4
I used hot Hungarian wax peppers
8 pints
Peperoncini
This recipe is much like the preceding one, except that here I simplify the seasonings and use
thin, straight, mild-flavored, yellow-green peppers that are just long enough to fit into a pint
mason jar. You may have seen them pickled in jars in gourmet shops. Since these peppers
may be labeled simply peperoncini in seed catalogs, you need to look at the picture and read
the description to be sure you’re getting the variety you want. Japanese fushimi peppers and
some Spanish guindilla varieties make good substitutes.
Makes 4 pints
8 small garlic cloves, peeled
2 small Mediterranean bay leaves, torn in half
2 pounds straight green peperoncini, each slit once lengthwise, stems trimmed to about 1/4 inch
2 cups cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or distilled white vinegar (at least 5 percent)
2 cups water
4 teaspoons pickling salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1. Divide the garlic and pieces of bay leaf evenly among 4 pint jars. Pack the peppers
vertically in the jars.
2. In a nonreactive saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, and salt to a boil. Pour the hot
liquid over the peppers, leaving slightly more than 1/2 inch headspace. Wait about 5
minutes for the liquid to fill the cavities of the peppers, and add more liquid as needed.
Then pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into each jar. Close the jars with two-piece caps
(make sure the rims are free of oil, which could prevent a good seal). Process the jars
for 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath.
3. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the
peppers.
Pickled Whole Hot Peppers
For this pickle I have used Cascabella peppers, in their glorious colors of yellow, orange, and
red. But you can use any small hot fleshy pepper, such as Floral Gem (a similar wax-type
pepper), jalapeño, or hot cherry. Give a jar of these pickled peppers to some chile-head
friends and stick around to watch them gasp and sweat.
Makes 4 pints
8 small garlic cloves, peeled
8 whole allspice berries
16 whole black peppercorns
2 small Mediterranean bay leaves, torn in half
2 pounds small, fleshy fresh hot peppers, such as Cascabella, each slit twice lengthwise, stems trimmed to
about 1/4 inch
2 cups cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or distilled white vinegar (at least 5 percent)
2 cups water
4 teaspoons pickling salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1. Divide the garlic, allspice, peppercorns, and pieces of bay leaf among 4 pint mason
jars. Add the hot peppers.
2. In a nonreactive saucepan, bring to a boil the vinegar, water, and salt. Pour the hot
liquid over the peppers, leaving slightly more than 1/2 inch headspace. Wait about 5
minutes for the liquid to fill the cavities of the peppers, and add more liquid as needed.
Then pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into each jar. Close the jars with two-piece caps
(make sure the rims are free of oil, which could prevent a good seal). Process the jars
for 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath.
3. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the
peppers.
Mexican Pickled Jalapeno Peppers

Ingredients
6 lbs cucumbers pickling variety
8 cups onions thinly sliced (I only used 3 cups)
½ cup salt pickling
4 cups vinegar 5%
4½ cups sugar
2 tablespoon mustard seed
6 tsps crushed red pepper flakes (added 2 poblano peppers)
1½ teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon turmeric ground
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers and cut the blossom end off.
Cut into 3/16-inch slices. I use a wavy cutter to give them a crinkle look.
Combine cucumbers and onions in a large bowl. Add salt on top and mix. Cover with 2 inches of crushed ice. Let sit for 3-4 hours. If you have room in your fridge stick them in there, if not don't worry about it.
Combine remaining ingredients in a large pot. Boil 10 minutes.
Drain and add cucumbers and onions and slowly reheat to boiling.
Fill jars with slices and cooking syrup, leaving ½-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process.
To process in a hot water bath: submerge jars in a pot of boiling water. When water returns to the boil, process for 10 minutes if your elevation is 0 - 1,000 ft. ---- Process for 15 minutes if your elevation is 1,001 - 6,000 ft. ---- Process for 20 minutes if your elevation is above 6,000 ft
When finished processing remove jars from water and let sit undisturbed on counter until seals pop.
-I used this
To process with low temperature pasteurization: Place jars in a canner filled half way with warm (120º to 140ºF) water. Then, add hot water to a level 1 inch above jars. Heat the water enough to maintain 180 to 185ºF water temperature for 30 minutes for pint or quart jars.
