    What are you canning now?

    I realize that you are suppose to stay within the subject matter - but hoping the mods will allow this since I really only want to tell the close circle of BYCers here that I communicate with through this thread. Anyway, I have gotten the results of my biopsies and they are positive and I do...

    What are you canning now?

    Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and well wishes. I will tell you it is not something that I will put on my top 10 list of things to do again. Normally only one hour is needed and I was there for 2 1/2 hours. The procedure itself was not that bad just the darn position that I had to lay...

    Thanks to everyone about the comments on my new "toy". Well, I did a batch of Mulberry jelly this weekend (juice from the freezer) and it went OK. The pot is large with a bottom that is 11" across. My large burner is only 9" so I had a hard time getting a good hard boil. I have another...

    What are you canning now?

    OK here is my new toy!! I was so excited when it came yesterday. Also check out the new jars that I got for my jelly this year. I ended up getting them for $.68 a piece and its about the same price I pay for mason jars and lids. I'm seriously thinking about starting a jam/jelly company...

    vfem What a great canner and deal to boot. I have a 23 quart Pesto pressure canner and I use our camp stove since my regular kitchen stove is a smooth top electric and when you fill with water and jars I would risk cracking the glass, not something I'm willing to chance. I use the pressure...

    What are you canning now?

    I love Grapefruit - so I thought I was being real cleaver when I bought 3 bags at Costco for $7.49 a piece for canning so I could have them throughout the summer months. Well, I only managed to get 7 quarts from the 30 grapefruit. Then I made the mistake of doing the math and the quarts cost...

    What are you baking now?

    Sometime back I posted something about a new book that I had bought called Sophie's Sweet and Savory Loaves - $25.00 at local gourmet kitchen store. Another BYCer emailed me the other day and made me aware that this book is out of print and sells for well over $200.00 and there are some on...

    Quote: What kind of jamming pot are you returning and why? I have my new cooper one on order and its back ordered until who know when so I fell your pain. Sandee I was using one of my caphalon pots... bad idea! I wasn't even making jam when it burned so badly. It burned making mustard of...

    Quote: Can you contact ball and get yourself listed as a supplier? Maybe you can purchase them wholesale that way. If your husband or you have a Business address, then they may be willing to sell to you in Bulk. I think you produce enough to get a break somewhere. I get to use my jars over...

    What are you canning now?

    Quote: I would say that you should be careful using a pressure canner to cook food in. The larger models - 23 quart like we have - are made of Aluminium and not something you should cook in. You can buy Stainless Steel Pressure canners but they cost a small fortune if I remember correctly...
