Collards are like a fine Scotch whiskey, it's an acquired taste.

Yesterday I canned black-eyed peas. With only 25 minutes left on the canning process E-50 showed on the screen. E-50 is an interruption in process. As I often do during canning I heat water in my microwave for hot tea. The interruption happened at the time I turned on the microwave so I have strong suspicions that what caused the interruption. Just in case I won't use the microwave again while canning. I had to start the whole process over and sad to say 2 jars did not seal.

I had my old All American canner lid tested. They recommend a new gauge. I have looked around some, but am not sure they would fit. As I have no numbers on this canner. I would think a gauge would be a gauge and fit anything, but I am not sure. I looked at the All American site and they recommend changing out the pressure relief valve as well. I guess I should call there and talk to someone who might be knowledgeable? I would like to get the gauge changed out in case I have to use it.

Now it's time to rest and be thankful.

So pretty Judith, enjoy. Good luck Tara with the beans. Different ways to do them. I can them dry, so pretty simple. Beans, a little salt and boiling water, then pressure can. About a half a cup of beans in a pint jar. Pressure can 90 min.

Great job, Judith. Pickle beets are one of my favorite things to can. Must do a batch for the winter.
I've gone back to soaking the beans overnight and boiling for 30 minutes to can. Over the last year I have had problems with some of the bean broth darkling. If I don't understand what's happening with my canned goods, I go back to what the Ball Blue Book says.

Sara you got to do what works best for you. I steam juiced blackberries I had the in the freezer yesterday. Two and a half quarts, that are ready to make jelly with. I am supposed to show a friend how to make jam and jelly today. I would like to try making some cherry pie filling and blue berry pie filling. It would get some bags out fruit out of my freezer too. I have some empty jars again, should start filling them. Happy Canning everyone.

got 4 perfect pints of cherry pie filling canned yesterday. I could not believe the recipe filled the 4 jars, with none left over and none a bit short. They taste great also. Yum. Blueberry today. Had a great time making jam and jelly yesterday afternoon with a friends.

Well done, Michelle, I think that has happened with me only once or twice. Enjoy your cherry pies this winter.

Blueberry pie filling filled four jars, all sealed. This recipe was just a little shy of filling the jars, so I made notes on the recipe. Nice to have them out of the freezer, and ready to use.

I finished canning the last of my tomatoes yesterday. I ended up with 2 quarts and 1 pint. Now that the tomatoes are done and everything is out of the garden, I am done canning for the season. All in all I think it was a pretty decent year considering how bad my garden grew. Next year will be even better!

Good job Kristin! Any amount of food in the larder beats buying it at the grocery.
I got apples SUPER cheap from the Amish and found cranberries on the cheap at Aldi's. I am thinking of canning cranberry juice and taking the leftover cranberries and mixing with some apples for some kind of a compote
Emily, I've never tried mandarin oranges. Are they fresh? I've heard if the pith is not completely removed, they turn out bitter. Have you done them before? |

Thank you Lisa. My family loves cranberry juice. Is it pretty easy to make?

I'm in the process of getting ready to start canning next week. Found a recipe for home canned sloppy joes on-line that I want to try. Will make 8 1/2-pint jars which is perfect for me. One jar, one sandwich for a quick lunch.
I've ordered 8 different beans to be delivered week after next, one bean won't be back in stock until the 12th. When I do receive my order, I plan on canning up a storm.

Krista, I can mine with no sugar, but it is easy.
Sara, what kind of beans did you order? I know you get quite the variety. |
