apples, and quince and pears, oh my! apples and quince and pears!
c'mon, i know i'm not the only one that thought that!
below is a cornucopia of autumn delights - all put up in jars for later. fall is my favorite preserving season, after all, apples and pears get pretty adamant about getting jarred. and quince, my new found favorite, seems to be all the rage this year around the canning blogosphere.
if you've been jamming the can, either at home or blogging about it...WOW! i can't believe we are in the 11th month!
if you've never canned before, i hope you've been inspired by this group of wonderfully industrious and creative people. and if you haven't quite mustered the gumption to start yet, i say; start here! because applesauce and apple butter practically can themselves! so giddy up and get some pomes in jars!

apple thyme butter - showfood chef
i don't think you really understand how much i love jam on biscuits do you? especially warm, flaky biscuits. i don't appreciate being tortured nearly every time i read your can jam post. ;)
applesauce - bigger than a breadbox
what could be more fun than making applesauce with a dear friend? (making applesauce with a dear friend while drinking a crisp wine and shootin' the shiz would be my guess...)
applesauce & oven apple butter - cafe libby
first of all, thank you so much for your thankful post. *touched* second of all, i love that you posted your tried & true recipes, third of all, i need a le creuset dutch oven already, don't i?
gingered seckel pair butter - the kitchenette
hollandaise, pear butter, apple butter...girl, what have you been eating all your life? ;) actually, i'm even more intrigued by what your going to be drinking soon!
lazybones spiced apple butter - rufus & clementine
this is quintessentially nikki. not that i'm sayin' you're lazy, just that you like to meander. i love that you got to a point to know when you can do this in canning. and then did it inexcusably!
maple apple butter - breadmaking with the bread experience
hmmm..this butter in a crockpot thing is really catching on. do i need one?
pear and buddha's hand butter - wine book girl
this looks amazing, i really love the idea of a zesty butter!

gulp! just saying that makes my mouth water...

linda lou's apple pie jam - just the right size
this is apple pie in a jar, isn't it? i'm surprised you need the boxed pectin tho, as apples are so darn full of it.
quince jam - putting by
hey it's the taste that counts! (i was going to say you didn't cook it long enough to change color, but 2 hours seems sufficient, hmmm...)
meyer lemon marmalade with apple, pear & candied ginger - mock paper scissors
another suggestion if you don't like the bitter is to use the zest only - use a zester, get the just the yellow, & avoid all of the white pith. then you can leave it in! :)
paradise jelly - what julia ate
this is the ultimate jewel in a jar i see. hey, you could also use it for a tart tarte, non?

pear-apple jam - sugarcrafter
i agree 100%, sometimes it's gotta be all about the fruit, & leave the spices at home!

yes i do see this with a triple cream. RIGHT NOW! (ahem, excuse me).

omg, this on cheese pancakes! after all, maple syrup has so been done...
chai spiced apple rings - notes from a country girl living in the city
i think you are absolutely right about the soft apples. when canning, you want to use the most recently picked (or properly stored in some cases) produce for the best texture in the finished product.
dolce de marmelo (marmelada) - café del manolo
ah, now i get why you've been making all those sexy jams etc, - you're portuguese! (and how great to see the actual recipe from your mom!)
pears in light syrup - all types of cooking and a whole lot of canning here!
jane knows of where she speaks - don't leave the cinnamon stick or the vanilla bean in the jar if
you want to taste the pears!
poached quince in vanilla syrup - laundry etc.
on oatmeal porridge with greek yogurt! yes please! i could eat that bowl right outta the photo! and you really got your quince to turn a nice burnt-pink didn't you? mine only blushed.
quince in rose syrup - tigress in a jam
the problem with this is; it's so gorgeous on my larder shelf i don't want to eat it! (but it will, i will i tell ya!)
saffron pears - locally preserved
how did you know that i'm a riesling and gewürztraminer cat? and the saffron - inspired!
and now, i have so many things i need to say to you peeps! first up, karla baker was the winner of the last give-away! karla won a copy of:
that's right, shae's amazing tell-all ebook! (now listen, don't fret if you didn't win because it's only a click and $9.95 away. and so worth it 'cause these jams are damn good!)
hold on to your jar lifters everybody because the holidayz are coming, i know we'll all be busy at the end of the month, plus i'm leaving on a jet plane on the 15th of december, on a 15 hour ride to curries and mango chutneys. given all that, i am taking the liberty to choose the last month's focus.
attention everybody! ¡atención!
the december's food in focus is: dried fruit
how dya like them apples? (or figs, or dates, or raisins, or cherries, or pears, or plums, or peaches, or apricots, or berries, or....)
you better do it! and you better post it between sunday december 5th and friday december 10th to be included in the last round-up.
oh, and think of this like herbs or chiles, you know, i don't want to see a whole jar full of dried fruit sealed shut, that would be silly. use it for flavor!
any questions?
:)
