    What are you canning now?

    Quote: Not if it calls for pressure canning. There's a lot you can do with your hot water canner, though. The first year I canned, I never used my PC. I did jams, pickles, tomatoes, chutneys. Some salsas were ok. You just can't do beans, broths, soups or veggies. Just use safe recipes and...

    Quote: There is no safe, approved method to can pumpkin paste at home that I know of. What instructions are you using to pressure can it? As far as I know, you can only can chunks of winter squash. I researched this about a year ago pretty thouroughly because I really wanted to can pumpkin...

    What are you canning now?

    Quote: Have you ever been to the NCHFP website? They have a fantastic website with everything from the basics to charts on processing times to even recipes. I think they even have a free, online course, if I remember right. You can buy their book or DVD set but I think most everything is on...

    What are you canning now?

    Quote: I have never heard the "don't re-can" it rule, myself. I would think minus the oil and flour (which I totally missed the first time around) you should be okay. this site is so informative. I have learned as much about canning and cooking as I have chickens. I was given three five...
