Italian Plums!!! Does anyone have ideas for Italian Plums????? I picked just two small branches and have a sinkful. I am going to can these in light syrup. I've tried making jam in the past but it comes out with prune flavor seeing these are the plums that dry into prunes.
Maybe I'll try prunes again as well.
Help, I need ideas! Anybody living south of the Twin Cities want plums?????

Here's the recipe:

Serves/Makes: 5 pints
Ingredients:
4 cups peeled, crushed pears
6 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 lemon or orange, ground up
Directions:
Combine all ingredients, and cook in a heavy pan, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until it reaches a spreading consistency. Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal.

Okay anyone have any good canning recipes?? Ill share my stewed sauce--this is good in soup, hot dishes or spagetti sauces
1 bushel plum tomatoes, washed and stemed
8 large green peppers, washed, stemed and de seeded, and chopped into chunks
3 large onions, chopped
2 tablespoon chopped sweet basil
4 Tablespoon itialian seasoning
2 tablespoon chopped chives
2 large cloves garlic crushed
Place the above in a couple large pots--blend with hand blender or run through belnder grinding the skins of tomatoes---cook until hot through--pour into clean sterile canning jars --lid and ring--process in bubbling water canner for 20 min.
I googled bushel and it said a bushel of tomatoes equals 53 pounds!! Is that seriously how many tomatoes you need for this recipe? I have just over 20 pounds, so I could pretty much half it I guess then?

My mil brought me a box of pears and a box of peaches from Yakima today. The pears are almost too ripe. Dh and I just peeled, pared and quartered them all. I am making pear butter and we're sticking the rest in the fridge till morning and making Pear Chutney, something his grandmother used to make. It's not her recipe but he said the one I had looked familiar.
We have the Venus Fly Trap plant in the kitchen hoping it will get a great meal with all the fruit flies in there. Good grief!
I guess I need to go Jam some plums now.
Pear chutney? I haven't tried that! Would you share your recipe?
Fruit Flies - I've been having great success letting them accumulate in a bucket of peelings then running the vacuum (hard) floor attachement over the top while tapping the bucket. Be sure to sneak up on it at first (with the vacuum running) though because they spook pretty easily. I've also been sneaking up on the bucket with a big towel, covering it quickly and taking the whole thing outside. But, of course that doesn't reduce the FF population like vacuuming does. I also have a bug zapper inside the house. With these three methods I have pretty much gotten rid of the major FF population I brought into the house. Even if I do keep bringing them in....

It wasn't Pear Chutney I was going to make it was Pear Relish. I messed up typing. LOL
Peach or Pear Chutney
4 quarts finely chopped, peeled peaches or pears (about 20 medium)
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped onions(about 1 medium)
2 to 3 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup mustard seed
2 Tablespoons ginger
2 teaspoons salt
1 clove garlic, minced(optional)
1 hot pepper, finely chopped
5 cups vinegar
Combine all ingredients in a large sauce pot. Cook slowly until thick, about 40 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Pour into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Yield: about 7 pints.
Pear Relish(What I was really going to make)
10 1/2 pounds pears, peeled, cored and chopped
6 cups chopped onions(about 6 medium)
6 cups chopped sweet red peppers( about 6 medium)
6 cups chopped sweet green pepper(about 6 medium)
1 bunch celery, chopped, discard leaves and coarse stalk
3 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon allspice
1 Tablespoon salt
5 cups vinegar
Combine all ingredients and let stand overnight. Bring mixture to a boil. Pack into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 20 minutes in boiling water bath. Yield: about 9 pints.

Apple salsa? Pear salsa? Do tell!
Michelle, I'm adding your chutney and relish to my collection. I'll need to start earlier next year before the pears ripen as much as they are now.

charity, post your tomato salsa recipe, if you don't mind. I've been looking for a good one to can.
I made 14 jars of pear honey. I know, that's nothing compared to what you all are doing! 
It's very yummy! I was drooling standing over the stove because it smelled so good. Hubby loves it. When he first saw the jars, he said, "Well, we'll have pear honey for awhile." I explained that I'll end up giving some of it away. Then after he ate almost 1/2 a jar himself at one sitting (with homemade biscuits ), I said, "Uh, I don't think it will last us very long at all."

my salsa recipe is-- chunk some paste tomatoes,chopped peppers, green peppers, red peppers, cubaella, jhlapeno ,chopped onion,chopped cilantro, ,garlic----now all this depends on how many tomatoes I had a peck of tomatoes, and uses 4 very large green peppers, 4 large cuebaella, 6 large jhlapeno, about 3 -4 cups onions, 2 TLB dried garlic, about a cup of cilantro, and 2 large limes juiced, and I cut some of the meat of the lime and put in it also-----I peel my tomatoes by dipping in hot water--as i peel them I put them in a colander over a large bowl, this lets some of the juice drip out so you have thicker salsa--I also can the juice for soups--I mix and bring to boil--only for for 10 min--turn off heat fill jars and process for 15 min in pints---the hot peppers and cilantro are add for your taste---I like allot of peppers and onion so I mix according---I just read the salsa bottle and went from there--oh I dont add salt or pepper but you can---

--- hmmm. Maybe I can use bee's honey in the "pear honey" 
RE: Canning recipes?? - 
Next time I'll plan ahead and get an orange...I think it would be really yummy in it.
Hubby gave me his stamp of approval.
