bubur paling pemes ...bubur ayam..i think almost every society kat asia ni ada their own version :) ni pakai ginger, garlic and onion..i main tumbuk seme..and then i taruk kepak ayam, kasi brown sikit the kullit and then taruk chicken stock. alah pakai knorr nyer serbuk lah..hehe. and then..taruk lah beras...oh also i suka taruk white pepper..best..wangi bau dia :) last last baru taruk duan bawang hiris halus. dah jadi..tekak orang melayu jugak kan..i taruk bawang goreng :) oh..i suka bubur yang soupy..yang pekat2 sangat..i tak minat :) ni kira ikut citarasa sendiri lah eh :)
ni untuk cik sri lah..my canning experience and how it looks like. well, the final product jer..sebab buat masa ni i takder apa yang nak di canned. insyallah besok lusa i nak canned my pasta sauce yang i tengah simmer berjam2 lamanyer :) and inilah hasil2 canning that i have done over the years. my fav bit about the canning process kan..are the canning jars..i love how versatile they can be :)

these jars i bought for $5 at a garage sale. used ones lah..but basuh berseh2..kita boleh pakai balik. and it is cheaper than buying new ones. but sometimes, i mmg kena beli baru nyer lah.

some of my canned stuff. lagi banyak ada but i think they are in the storage unit kat hiawatha. tuari i dapat amik sikit lah..still too many things that needed to be moved. you can see, i have salsa that i made this year, and i think the last two years nyer batch pun masih ada. one of them in fact came from 2003. the peaches i canned 3 years ago. the plum sauce i made from the wild plums, yang botol pendek yang dekat dengan the door.

these two bottles of tomato are the ones from 2002..dah masuk 6 tahun i canned and still good. in fact i used it today to make my pasta sauce and it is still in the pot. insyallah besok i nak canned them.

alamak sri..dah lama i tak baca ni perkataan ..brodel..haha..geli hati pulak. yes some ppl diorang buat camtu but i main taruk jer susun kat garage. oh..rasa apa yang you nak?..hehe. kalau pickles kira masam lah rasa nyer sebab pakai vinegar..i yang tomato tu..macam tomato kat dalam tin :) and salsa..rasa macam salsa kat dalam botol lah :) and yes..we consume it all....bagus nyer canning, selagi the top tak boleh picit..maknanyer the seal is good. the stuff inside is still good to eat :) ada orang canned jam. dah tak yah beli jam..i ingat nak buat sekaya sendiri and canned my sekaya lah :) fresh sikit :)
kak rosma..u serious u cannned some stuff and its been around for 6 yrs! I dint know canning can last tht long. how do u secure the cans? sorry, me ni greenhorn la..kekeke !
fir
My pantry pun ada stuff from before I was here. Jams, pickles, salsa, relish. Bila nak consume pun tak tau. I nak can sambal tumis ikan bilis/kacang aa..hehe! Mason Jars very nice if its new...kalau dah karat tutup dia, I macam tak selera gitu. My basement ada hundreds of mason jars. Nak buang sayang, nak pakai buat canning..malas! I ni serba serbi malas.
salam akak... i can see the blueberry jam!!! *mouth watering*
how was sean and the kids with their fasting? he he he...
i'm new with this canning thingy he he he...
fir, yes..i used to live next to this old mennonite couple and she taught me how to can and all that. and they really last. so long as the seal is not broken..it is good to eat. safe to eat i mean..hehehe. the seal comes in two parts..the ring and the seal. which has a rubber type thing around it and once you put it in hot water, it will automatically seal the jar. and then when you bukak it will give this soft pop sound..macam jar kat kedai :)
oh kak za..tutup karat..can just buy the tutup jer..can change easily..takper you dengan john leh lah consume pelan..or better still give it away..hehehe. like i said tukar ring dia..dah nampak cantik balik :) i pun like you..tak suka tutup yang karat1 lah..very saspises gitu :)
salams faisal :) homemade jam lagi :) alhamdullilah..sean mmg dah biasa fasting ni..sarina pun alhamdullilah..suma the long hours ajer yang buat dia ada merengek sikit at the end of the day..maklumlah buka nak dekat pukul 8 kat sini. srah puasa yok yok :) half say jer..itu pun sometimes tak sampai..:) mmg canning ni i think only western nyer concept. kita nyer concept..masuk dalam botol plastic terus masuk esbob :)
thanks kak rosma for the tip, i did see these jars. but then i was looking for canisters, but somehow these jars really attract me la.But right now, if i were to go on canning spree, i may have to store them in my warddrobe..haha! not much space la! hehe
fir
hahahha....i tiap-tiap raya kumpul bekas plastik yang tutup merah tu...standardlah...:)
fir..tell me about storage space..hahaha. you can never have enough :) i know..love these jars..they are so much cheaper then the canisters :)eh you never know..wardrobe ada secret panel..haha
mona..kalau i kat sana pun i simpan itu bekas plastic..hahahaha
Oh my! I love your pantry!!! :D The jars...! My gosh!!
Kat NTUC ada jual those jars but I don't think I've seen the ring u're talking about. Or maybe I have to open it up first baru nampak... not sure. Maybe they're just regular jars. Have to check next time I am there.
Rosma, from 2002 boleh ke makan? I guess over there u have the 4 seasons so it's ok... kat sini cam tak confident gitu... coz u know lah, humidity and bacteria don't go hand in hand. Even food I store in the fridge gets bad. But really lah, I have to take my hat off to u for preserving good food that long!! :D
Kak rosma I collect exactly the same kind of jars,kalau you dekat i can share share some with you..but I use to store rempah lah..the ones in the spice rack semua kecik isi rempah tak puas...and rlaly got to salute you for actually cannng your own stuff now..
we made roti kirai too the other day but made kari ayam instead...macam janji eh!:-P wish we are nearby boleh main exchange exchange food for iftar..
sweets..the rings entah eh..it is together with the jars when we bought them :) there are various kinds of tops i think :) oh yes..so long as the seal is not broken..it is okay to eat. besides, the salt content is enough to make sure that there's no bacteria. unless the seal, like ballooning, then better to throw it away. i got one jar that the seal has broken..it was my salsa..but it wasn't bad..but we didn't eat it to be safe :) i think the drier air helps too i guess :) kat sini pun..even if we put in the fridge, it can go bad.
zee, samalah..i store my spices and what nots in them too..hahaha. not just for canning :) i guess, i was interested in learning. so my old neighbour taught me :) i know..kalau nearby..we could have iftar together too :) like today we had burgers and popiah basah :)
