I can’t stop canning things! Unfortunately, each recipe gets sweeter. I really need to work on adding some vegetables to the canning mix! Shesh!
This is the Apple Berry Syrup that I mentioned in the last post…
Yesterday, I canned up a 1/2 bushel of peaches!!
We made Spiced Peaches in a very light syrup, Peach Applesauce, and then dried some peaches.
Tonight, I made a peach pie with this recipe. We topped the pie with home made whipped cream and some home made chocolate rose syrup!!
The Chocolate Rose Syrup is something that I tried yesterday at a meeting (meetings with herbalists always entail great foods!) and I thought I’d try my hand at canning it too!!! It would make a great present.
The recipe made 25 4 ounce jars!!!
Here’s how to make it:
3 cups cocoa powder
4 1/2 cups honey
2 1/2 cups rose water
2 cups water
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Mix all in a pot and simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour into jars and process in a boiling hot water bath for 25 minutes.
Sit down and lick pot and all cooking utensils! Mmmmm!
OK, so next, I’ll work on green beans! 
Oh the chocolate rose syrup sounds so good I have to try it! Just playing catchup with blogs…omg your home looks SO AWESOME!
Yum! I’m so glad you’re enjoying canning and it does become bit like an addiction…
look at that belly! baby is doing well i see!
I can’t wait to try the syrup recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
Your baby bump looks so cute!
Nice work with your house and canning! One thing we have started doing a few years back is to use a sharpie to write the date on the lid of all we can. My wife had me make her labels but they fall off or fade and we end up not knowing the age of some of the things on the shelves.
Great blog. ill be following. We are starting to can next year and I cant wait.
