What can I still can in October in Georgia?

If you can get your hands on some late figs......my co-worker makes ( and cans) a strawberry fig jam that's better than my own grandmother's strawberry pineapple rhubarb jam. And THAT's quite a concession, from me.

I canned some of the cranberry orange marmalade between Christmas and New Year's, except I used a different recipe, which originally comes from Well Preserved by Joan Hassol. I used seven slightly smallish Clementine oranges instead of navel oranges, and I added two satsumas to it, since my best friend had given all of us a bunch of them at Christmas.

It turned out delicious, and very pretty. I got ten jars out of it, and have given five of them as gifts so far. Everyone loves it!

That sounds intriguing! I may try something like that next year…

Philokalia; this is the first time I've returned to this thread, (sorry), so of course, I didn't see your post. Actually, I didn't create the original chart, I found it through a post on the Daves Garden site, or online, don't recall. You can actually adjust the chart, yourself; depending on if your frost dates are earlier or later, than those posted on the chart...just move the planting information forward or backward by the amount of time difference involved in your own frost dates.

last weekend i made and canned some Cherry Marmalade! recipe was in the blue book. delish!

i'm readying to go through the freezer and make more jams with our fruit we froze last summer. i think i have enough blackberries to make both a batch of jam and one of wine!
