Mods please forgive me one more time for posting out of topic here - but since I posted once before I wanted to give everyone an update Good morning everyone GREAT NEWS!! We met with my surgeon last Friday and my cancer is in Stage One and there are two small spots. We are so thankful for...

Quote: Doreen and all others here - I consider everyone here to be a friend! I'm so happy that you joined officially and can share your experiences here as well. The thing that I love about this site is that there are so many loving and caring people out there. When I tell other people...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Quote: I got this book last year and I really like it. Has a lot of information, plus a whole chapter just for Salsa and no one else has tested recipes that are approved. It only cost $18.00 and has tons and tons of recipes and covers all aspects of preserving food...

Well, I haven't got my new copper pot yet but made one of the recipes from my new jam cook. It was a Strawberry Blood Orange with Rosemary Marmalade. Now neither my husband or myself are real marmalade eaters - but this was very good. A lot of very rich flavors. I didn't leave the Rosemary...

Seems like it has a billion years since I have been on Chicken Chat. How is everyone? We finally got out 8 carcasses out of the freezer from last year's meat bird harvest and made chicken stock. My husband removed the lid a bit early on the pressure canner, pressure was off but he didn't let...

As usual everyone is busy with canning. I agree with all the comments about canning your own beans. We can ours as well and they are AWESOME compared to store bought. In fact we just ate the last pint of pinto beans and need to get on with doing some more. Now that the holidays are behind...

Been away for a while but have done some canning. Made a new Raspberry Cranberry Preserves and Cranberry Chutney. Went to my mom's over Thanksgiving and she had cleaned out her old shop and gave me about 100 canning jars. I'll have plenty of quart jars when canning gets in full swing next...

The wedding is finally over I(boss' daughter and I did all the decorations and flowers) so I can starting canning up all the frozen juice that I have in the freezer. Better yet my husband got to come home for the first time in 10 weeks. He has been working out of town. Anyway, he tasted the...
