Quote: None of the youtubes mentioned anything about mixes I just used onions and peppers from our garden...kind of sauteed a bunch (I'm not much of a measurer ) in a humonguous skillet, and then added my chopped up tomatoes... I don't know how many pounds of tomatoes either - there were...

Hey All! I was thinking about Sandee, and was wondering if anyone had heard from her and knows how she is doing.

Quote: hahaha, yes, we eat chicken and ducks after they eat the worms, but directly no, thank you. Agreed. No worms ala cart! jenny_kap,

Quote: I can mine every year. I cook it all day 24-36 hours in the crockpot with sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Then I run my hand mixer through it and water bathe it for 30 minutes. Never had a problem with it! I know other people will say don't but I have no problems. off the topic a...

Quote: My sweet sons (11 and 13) brought me home 16 sugar pumpkins from the last Farmer's Market if the season this past Sat. and I have cooked and mashed half of them and I am ready to can them. I was planning to pressure can them for 1.5 hours (I am right at 5,000 ft). However, it turns...

Quote: Sandee, I don't have enough freezer space to freeze this pumpkin. I have eaten canned pumpkin all my life, this is just the first time I have set out to can it myself. I think if I have the jars hot and sterilized, and make sure that the filling is piping hot when I fill them it will...

54 Quarts of beans in the past 2 days. I also made some of KDbeads' Candy Apple Jelly....and wow , was it a hit with the family! I already have plans for this super-simple-to-make-and-delicious-to-eat jelly for Christmas gifts this year. The color is so beautiful, too. A perfect Christmasy...

Quote: Your apple butter and peach/blueberry jam look scrumptious! Good job! Well done!

No, the water stayed over the jars the whole time. They have all sealed, too. They don't look darker than when I put them in, but I am thinking they will be overly cooked. Probably carmelized. When they cool off I will open one and see how bad they are. I had put all of the kids down for a...

I have a question for of you power canners out there.....I accidentally left 10 half pint jars of watermelon jelly in the water bath for an hour and 15 minutes instead of the 15 minutes needed. (I laid down and shut my eyes for what supposed to be only a second!) Has this destroyed the pectin...

I am making Watermelon Jelly and Watermelon Rind Pickles.....the first time making both for me. BUMMER Vfem about the Pear Butter......I feel for you. I used to find myself in the position you were in with your friend, until I realized that if the situation were reversed the other person...

Quote: I should have elaborated, and not been so terse. LOL The peppers will not be that lovely crisp texture that they are when used freshly cut, but will still give your stir fry their wonderful flavor. I always figure that the reason they add the baby corn and water chestnuts to frozen...

Quote: This summer I decided to make some pumpkin custard, from fresh pumpkins, but I didn't want to heat up the house as I did it. So, I seeded and cut up a couple of sugar pumpkins and put them in my crock pot on high for half an hour and then turned it on low for another hour or so. They...

Quote: Sandee, that is terrible. Will you see him AT ALL during the 3 months he is gone? If you keep canning to keep your mind busy you'll have to buy a warehouse to store it all before he gets back! I gather Frog Jam is made with figs, would you share your recipe? Deb

Quote: Congrats! It gives you quite a feeling of satisfaction to here those little pings, doesn't it? Now, onwards and upwards, to THE JELLY!

Quote: Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! I'll be watching for it.

Quote: If you do and it is good, will you post the recipe? (please)

Quote: Did your Blackberry Chipotle set up? I'm having problems getting mine to set. Sandee edited: typo Sandee, I always add an extra half a box of pectin to my jams and jellies. The jars on the shelf are still warm but seem to be setting up nicely. The half a jar I had left over and...

Quote: Did you try and make too big of a batch at once? That was the first thing I had to learn when making jelly or jam....not to try and make too much at once. Smaller batches set better. My husband always teases me about my having worked for the railroad, as I always cook in large...
