Lisa, my kids love them too! I like them on my salad, but my kids could eat them right out of the jar!

Today I put up 7 pints of lentil soup and 2 jars did not seal. The recipe is from my The Complete Guide to Pressure Canning and it's the first recipe I have ever seen that called for measuring the lentils & Veggies with a ruler. I used a 6" metal slide ruler that I have used for over 50 years to hem. I used a slotted spoon to put the lentils/veggies in the jar; measured the 2"; and filled the jars with the soup. Quarts called for 4".

Great job, Krista!
Sara - that is interesting! I have never seen a recipe for canning that measures the ingredients in inches before.

Easiest way to explain her reasoning is the ratio of lentils and veggies to liquid. There were floaters of lentils & veggies in the liquid.

Got 6 pint jars of pickled beets canned up a couple days ago. Going to have my husband try them before making any more. I made them once, years ago. STill dealing with rain here. I started trying to get the garden weeded, a slow process. The chickens enjoy the weeds.

Michelle, pickled beets are a favorite of mine. Weeding is no fun, but it has to be done, and I am behind on my weeding.

I just realized this thread has been going strong for 10 years. It was started July 18, 2015, by Naturemaiden, Connie.
Well done canners! Thanks Connie. Has anyone heard from her?

Today I washed a box of Ball lids to have ready for next canning day. Two of the lids had small dents around the edges of the metal. Trashed them. Has this ever happened to you?

That's awesome that this thread has been going that long!
I've had a couple bad lids over the years but luckily, not very many. I do the same - trash them. Every now and then I get 13 in a box!

Nice harvest Heather! Sara I think I have only had one or two lids that were funky. Either dents or the rubber was messy.

Canned 7 jelly jars full of peach butter. They all sealed! First time that I have made peach butter.
