Therefore the kids and I tackled the last apples and made half into a yummy rhubarb and apple crumble and the other I made apple and rhubard butter.
I didin't follow a recipe but this is what I did: cored, peeled and chopped lots of apples and about 10 stalks of rhubarb. I steamed them then added them to a pot with 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinamon and 1 teaspoon mixed spice. I then let it reduce and put it into clean sterilized jars.
We then prepared the chillies by washing them and taking off the stalks. Then I made the same pickling liquid as last week and pickled 4 jars of them.
I also wanted to make a chilli relish so I used about 20 chopped chillies with 2 tomatoes, 1 onion, 125ml sugar and a tablespoon of garlic. I boiled this up then blended it up with my stick blender and put it in a jar. My hubby tasted it and said it was super hot!
We have so many chillies now that a friend will be the lucky recipient of a jar or two!

I want to learn how to can! I have checked out numerous books, bought the canner with jar rack... yet nothing is ready for harvest... actually even planting in the garden yet... seeds have been started inside though :D
I am somewhat cautious about canning though... seems like a lot could go wrong... do you have any advice, or a favorite book or site that got you started... or did you learn first hand?
Thanks for any advice to the newbie on the block :D
I like the idea of the hot chilli sauce. Looks great and has my mouth watering.
