    What are you canning now?

    Mine suffered earlier in the season or I would have had a LOT more. I thought it was going to be an amazing basil year the way it started out. I make it throughout the summer (every other day typically).

    What are you canning now?

    I just defrosted butternut squash soup that I did this with and it had heavy cream in it and it was perfect.... Never made your soup so can't be 100% certain but it's worth a try I'd think. I know some people who buy Organic milk at Costco once a month and freeze milk, now this I've also never...

    What are you canning now?

    You can probably freeze it when it's cooled. I freeze my soups in the gallon sized zip lock bags. I lay them flat on a cookie sheet in freezer until they are solid then you can remove cookie sheet. Cookie sheet prevents them from taking on the shape of your freezer and adhering to the...

    30- 1/2 pints of quince today interestingly enough today's batch was red compared to the batch I made about 2 weeks ago that was yellow. Similar flavor but different color. Quince for both batches were picked from same bush.

    What are you canning now?

    pepper jelly for sure Also, yes you can freeze peppers. I freeze all types. I keep the hot separate from the bell peppers and I just dice them and put in ziplock bags. They turn into a brick but just bang them once on the floor or with a meet tenderizer and they break free very easily...

    Anyone ever get sick after getting flu shot?

    Quote: The NASAL Spray IS live virus so yes that is VERY possible and thus the reason that anyone who is imuno compromised should not get it. Last year my DS got the H1N1 nasal vaccine and since my DH is imuno compromised they stayed away from each other 24 hours to prevent problems for DH...

    What are you canning now?

    I'll have to look again but I believe it was the bartlett's specifically that mentioned turning pink...but could also be the metal peeler. Do a google search for canned pears turning pink, it seemed harmless. I'm off to open house or I'd go back and quote what I found.

    What are you canning now?

    I think you can mix the pectin with a little of the juice liquid over heat to make a paste to help dissolve easier.. I always just use the dry and it is fine even in recipes that liquid is called for.

    What are you canning now?

    What kind of pears were they AND what pot and utensils did you use in your process (metal, plastic, ceramic?) I did a quick google search and it brought up all these questions. It doesn't seem that unusual with certain varieties of pairs and also using metal seems to set it off for some...

    Jam Making Thread!

    I also do not agree with the turn upside down method. If you want to prepare these and guarantee they are food safe for storage you need to do a hot water bath on them and follow canning guidelines OR a pressure canner. Make sure you are using the most up to date info NOT old school leading to...

    What Do You Do When There Is A Power Outage RE: Incubator

    You can purchase a UPS (intended for computers and electric equipment) but it's basically just a powerstrip with a battery. The more expensive you go the more time you get on that battery. If only your incubator is plugged into it, you would have quite a bit of time on some of the mid range...

    Peanut Butter

    Quote: Even if you step on the apple to split it open so they can get to the good stuff? I cut them up, gave them to them whole and they still didn't eat them!?! They don't care for lettuce either... a head or tore off... Silly birds anyway!! Mine typically only like the apples smashed into...

    Peanut Butter

    Quote: That is a really good idea!! Mine don't care for apples, is that odd? Even if you step on the apple to split it open so they can get to the good stuff? PB&J crusts/sandwiches that you are making for your kids (kindergartners) at school are not having enough PB on them that a kid or...
