Links: Autumn Canning and Winners

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. There were two classes in Washington, D.C., four canning demos across three counties, and a visit from my sister and her touring partner Becca. I’ve logged about 1,000 miles on the road and have canned my way through a bushel of pears. It has been good and it has been intense. I have one more crazy weekend coming up, and then things are going to quiet down a bit (and I couldn’t be more pleased). Now, links!

Swimming in kale? Try this kale and pumpkin seed pesto. It’s certain to freeze beautifully.
Fig season is long gone in Philly, but I’m remembering this fig and honey jam for next year.
Cold and flu season is coming! Amanda has some serious fermented goodness for you to ward off any seasonal bugs.
The folks at Rancho Gordo have discovered the goodness that is pressure canned beans. I try to always have a batch of these in my pantry.
Don’t throw away those apple peels! Make vinegar instead.
Maple chipotle sauce. Sounds like the perfect thing for turkey burgers.
Grape mostarda. It is amazing stuff.
Camille at Wayward Spark has been documenting her food preservation all season long. Latest installments have included sweet pepper romesco sauce and grape jelly. Love it!
I am deeply intrigued by this black onion jam.
Pear chutney. It’s a great thing to have on the pantry shelf. Make it.
Finally, this one doesn’t have anything to do with food preservation, but appeals to my potluck habit. Pasta for a crowd.
