Our backyard garden has done really well this year. I’ve been picking a lot of fresh vegetables every week. Sometimes I have enough to can a full load of whatever it is that I harvested. At other times…I have a little bit of this and that which I toss together to make mixed vegetables. Here’s the recipe that I recently used to make mixed vegetables. It utilizes carrots, corn, green beans, zucchini and bell peppers.

The recipe will yield approximately 6 pint jars. You’ll need to process the jars in a pressure steam canner. I bought mine from Amazon for a really great price. I use it several times a week during the growing season. You’ll need at least 6 glass pint size mason jars.
Country-Style Mixed Vegetables Recipe
3 1/2 cups carrots, sliced into rounds or diced
3 1/2 cups whole kernel corn
3 1/2 cups greens beans, chopped into pieces
3 cups zucchini, peeled and chopped into cubes
1 cup green or red bell pepper, chopped into pieces
salt
water
Prep all of your vegetables as listed above. Make sure you measure them out as you want the portions to be accurate or close to accurate as you can get.
Combine all of the vegetables into a large pan. Add water to cover the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pack the vegetables and liquid into a pint size glass mason jar leaving 1″ headspace at the top. Remove air bubbles. Wipe the jar rim with a clean cloth, add the seal and ring just until it’s fingertip tight. Place jar on the rack in the pressure canner containing 2″ of simmering hot water. Repeat until all jars are filled.
Place the lid on the pressure steam canner. Lock it into place. Adjust heat to medium-high. Vent steam for 10 minutes. Bring the pressure up to 10 lbs (psi). Process the pint jars for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the canner cool down until it reaches 0 ZERO pressure. Once it reaches 0 set a timer for 5 minutes. Then remove the lid. Let the hot jars sit inside the canner (lid off) for an additional 10-15 minutes before carefully removing them to cool on the countertop. Label and date.
