No, you didn't say that, I think maybe she misunderstood what you wrote. I read it as you should can the pie filling with everything you want in it EXCEPT the thickener, then when you are ready to make the pie, you can add the cornstarch before you put the filling in the shell. I...
I did pickles the other day, ended up with 14 quarts and 1 pint of pickles. Mostly dills, but did one batch of sweet pickles. I have some jalapenos on the counter now, off to see how many I need to put can them. Green beans are starting to come in, so hopefully can put some up soon. Stupid...

Thanks again!
Made six pints of grape jelly yesterday.
Hit the local farmer's market last night, it's on Friday nights only and was expecting to come home with lots of corn, cucumbers and tomatos, etc. Turns out the 'farmers market' is really The Farmer's Market - as in old little guy selling things out...
