I do have a pressure canner, I'll look and see if the book that came with it recommends anything for pumpkin. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

It's not as bad as it seems. I was very nervous the first few times but have gotten used to it now. My biggest complaint is that it takes forever, time-wise.

Most of the stuff that I like to make can be waterbath canned. Glad I have the pressure one though, for things like stock.

I like it better than water bath canning. My pressure canner is smaller and the pressure method uses less water, so it comes to a boil faster. I'm going to use it for water bath canning of jams, jellies, and pickles from now on. My water bath canner has been sent to the attic to stay.

I'm going to can pumpkin for pies. I book I read said to process it for 40 minutes under 10 lbs pressure for altitudes below 1000 feet; 15 psi for higher altitudes.

So relieved to hear the puppy is recovering. Thank you for taking such good care of the little thing. Why can't people just spay/neuter their animals to spare the unwanted babies all this? <sigh>

Thanks for the recipe. I've made so much custard trying to use up eggs, I'm getting kinda tired of it. The coconut custard should be a nice change.

You're welcome. I plan to use this one again. I can share a few more egg recipes, if you'd like; Butterscotch Pie, Cheese Souffle, Lemon Pudding Cake, and Crab Quiche.

I have a recipe for pickled eggs to try.

YES, PLEASE!

Yes, I want recipes and I love custards of all kinds.

Not fond of coconut, but I just LOVE custard! For pickled eggs, I cheat...just throw them in a jar with some pickle juice, LOL. They're really tasty and pretty in pickled beet juice.

Hello all! I am sorry that I haven't been on in a while. I have been preoccupied with the pup. Great news, she has turned the corner and is on the road to recovery.

Do you pass through Alabama going from UT to VA?

Um, no I didn't

Does this mean it is a done deal? How exciting!
Not a completely done deal, just trying to be a little proactive since I know how these things can go. Hurry up and wait and oh BTW can you start in VA tomorrow?

Can I get on your Christmas list? Yummy!

Only if she passes through Maine on her way to Alabama.

And sure, I'll send you some. PM me your address.
SCG I am sure I will find my way back to Maine someday for a visit. I would love to go to the Yarmouth Clam Festival at least one more time. It is so much fun.

Oh and Wisher, I love the idea of a gift exchange. It would be fun to do a "Secret Santa" kind of thing. Count me in!

What ever works!!!! I'm always up for a new recipe to try--even if it is simple! I love custards too. Especially as I can use eggs to thicken it. Lemon curd, vanilla pudding. Yum.
