Really? This is good to know!! So your list of tomatoes are all heirloom then??? Is that why in most canning recipes for tomatoes they tell you to add lemon juice???

Yes the lemon juice is to replace the acid that used to be in toms...

the list I have I don't know how the acid content is.... some heirloom's are naturally low acidic but you normally tell when cooking/eating... we also might add a little vinegar if the canned toms are for sauces to help the acid level if they are low.

as my mom says.. canning means one of 3 things.....
Sugar, Acid or Pressure.

jam = sugar preserving
pickles or vinegar canning = acid preserving...
everything else needs to be pressure cooked...

Thank you!!

*sigh*

I need to go somewhere and order Too Much Dungeness soon, I think.

Spent the day fiddling with stuff- put a photocell timer on the lights on the north side of the house, did some laundry, tried to make a permanent fix for Bacchus' feed pan, this, that, and the other.

My son, who started working at the Ellensburg Fred Meyer's in September as a seasonal hire, just got a real permanent-track position with them, including a substantial raise. I'm thrilled to bits, although his gleeful "I get to learn how to drive a forklift" gave me pause. For no good reason- I learned to drive a tractor at ten, and used to know how to use a JD 350 Cat, and he's a good automobile driver (which I never have been).

Wondering about the weather- I don't trust 51 in January, but that weird kink in the jet stream is back. Hope the heck it sticks around for calving season, I had a round-eared calf from last year who was born on that 5F night. I've got twenty days before the babies should start showing up.

Wish I'd known, I could have picked you up some down at the docks here.and will be in Lacey tomorrow...darn it, I could have dropped the crabbies right off.

And lemon juice add zesty zippy taste rather than just dull sugary taste, it also helps to preserve the bright color of the fruits you can.

Leave us consider this for a later date.

I'm spoiled on dungeness: ate way too much of it fresh out of the dock boilers when I was a little kid. There's a lot of shellfish that I've got elevated standards for- everything from razor clams to geoduc and oysters to spot prawns - because Dad didn't think any recreational activity was fun unless you came home with more food than you left with.

We have Washington State Cougs, University of Washington Huskies, Gonzaga Bulldogs. Ummmm...those are the ones that I can remember real quick...not sure what Ellensburg is? The Zags have a real good basketball team - so I hear - I don't follow. When the Huskies and Cougs play (football or basketball) against each other...it can turn family member against family member. It gets pretty "cut throat".

eta: Cuz I got the team mascots messed up ..... wow....I had better watch my head...I know that things are gonna come flying at me...I am fixing it I promise. shows how much college sports I watch.

Okay, we are the CWU WildCats here in Ellensburg, not that I pay much mind! More of a gardener than a sports fan.

thanks for the input though. Gladfor your help

Aye, but you need to eat with the season.

Already most crab areas are closed.
When it is over, it is over, and the crabbies price hikes up farther than a mini skirt in the wind
