Late Fall & Early Winter Canning Recipes
November is when the weather really starts to turn cold, and here in Vermont, we’ll almost always have snow on the ground this time of year. It’s a month where you start to really appreciate all the extra heat a canner can put out, and you can work double duty, keeping a toasty kitchen and putting up the last of the garden produce.
Carrots, beets, parsnips, onions and other below-ground crops are also still out in the garden, and these patient crops can wait underground as you slowly work through preserving them.
Above ground, we’re still harvesting the cold-hardy vegetables from the garden, and Brussels Sprouts keep right on growing through early-season ice storms.
And then, of course, there are all the things that hit the market this time of year, like turkey, sweet potatoes, and cranberries.
Now is the perfect time to get a great deal on a case of those and put them up on your pantry shelf.

(Ps. I also run the blog Practical Self Reliance, which has information on all manner of food preservation techniques (cheesemaking, salt curing, fermenting) as well as just about everything else you’d need to learn to be self-reliant in this modern world. It has its own substack as well, and you can subscribe to practical self-reliance separately as well. That newsletter comes out weekly and covers canning, as well as everything else.)

My mother used to purchase "horseradish jelly" from a small shop in Longwood, Florida in the late 80's. I venture to say it's a lot like red pepper jelly, except it's made with horseradish. It's not stinging to the palate like horseradish spread but is sweet like pepper jelly. We used to eat it over cream cheese with crackers. I would LOVE a recipe to make my own now that I'm no longer able to purchase it.
