Ok, I just want to complain! I have used up all my canning qts. and have been looking on Craigslist for some used one. Well might as well go buy new ones for what they want for used ones!!. Why is that ? is there some kind of shortage or what? I've seen jars cheap at yard sales when I didn't...
Yay Chicks! :
I'm really new to this canning business...what is Clearjel?
Edited to ask: What type of mustard did you use?
Clearjel is a corn starch type of thickener. Some recipes I searched call for it and some call for flour. I think the clearjel makes it more like translucent, like pie...
Here is the recipe, but you can use it as a guide. I didn't have that many peppers and all of mine weren't hot, so if you like it hot use more hot peppers or you can add heat to it with cayene or hot pepper seeds n flakes. Mine turned out hot enough for me with a mix of hot cubanelle and...

I got my pint jars at Ace.... Yipee!! That price was hard to beat. here Lowes doesn't sell canning supplies either. I am thrilled to get them at this price!
I found a recipe for Sandwich Spread from an old clipping . This is real similar to one I tried to make one time, but was not very satisfied with the results. In the end it says to beat in the mayonaise, and I did this but the mayonaise melted from the heat and it was like an oily mess. My...
I bought a pack of Mrs. Wages kosher dill mix, and I wanted to make the refrigerator pickles, but couldn't find the mix for it. My question is, could I use the process mix instead and just refrigerate the pickles? I'm pretty sure on the refrigerated pickle mix it states you can process the...

Went there and they sent me coupon for 1.00 off on ball products in my email. You can copy off how many you want. I did 5 coupons, good thru 10/31/11
