They are the same but DIFFERENT!

Use a pressure canner for canning and pressure cooking...

ONLY use a pressure cooker for cooking, not canning!

They are not the same!

Good to know! I would have bought a pressure cooker and ASSumed they were the same..

Good question, Dar..

I would compare your recipe to those in the BBB. If the variation is not much different as in spices and liquids, I would use the book as a guide line. I hope this helps.

Good luck.

New Year's Eve my husband cooked up some salsa.
I got to do all the prep work, he came and put it all together, then I got to put it in the jars.

It has several types of heirloom tomatoes, ancho chiles with a small amt of habenero, onion, garlic, cilantro, salt.

Planning to whip up some more fig jam and lavender jelly today!

I can't believe I have a waiting list for next year already. HAHAHAHA

I am going to have to gear up to can sweet potatoes soon.
Do any of you have any advice on what not to do?
It will be me and the canning book... alone and under pressure.

I bought myself a present with gift cards and cash I got for Christmas. I've been wanting one for a while (MIL has one and raves about it), but couldn't justify the $$$ for it. I just got it today.

It's a Vitamix blender - no more seeding issues for me with my jams, this sucker purees all the seeds.

Don't have to take skins off tomatoes either. It will cook soup, make sorbet and it cleans itself. (put a couple drops of soap in and run for 30 seconds, then rinse) I can't wait to play with it.

I Probably would have never bought it myself. But since it was gifted to me by several family members, I figured why not.

I just got a Vitamix for my anniversary, I really hope I like it!
