What are you canning now?

[rancher hicks]

she does use them for chili but doesn't use them for sauce. Thanks for the advice. I'll just have to do them on a day when I can let the cook all day.

I shred the zucchini quite fine and freeze it in 1 cup containers. I pop some in when I make stews or chili...it adds a lot of vegetables to the dish, but since it's grated so fine, you almost don't know it's there. It does help thicken things too. You can use it for baking after freezing but you need to drain it well because the freezing tends to drive most of the liquid from the cells of the flesh. I generally drain it reasonably well before adding it to even a soup, stew or chili, since it can make it rather watery as well.

Has anyone else tried the pectins from Pacific Pectin? So for, I've used the liquid dry pectin mix, the regular pectin mix, and the sugar free pectin. I've have excellent results with all 3 of these products. In the long run, they're less expensive than getting packs of pectin from the store, although the initial outlay is high.

They also have quick shipping & excellent customer service. I had some problems with a certain recipe using the liquid dry pectin mix and wanted to switch to a dry pectin. They walked me through exactly how to do this & I got great results.

I'm wanting to can some prepared horseradish root and don't just want to keep in the fridge for a couple months. I know there are no USDA recommended guidelines but has anyone canned it an not refridgerated it?

The Ball Blue Book has no recommendations for canning, only pickling freezing. Also states the pungency of horseradish root fades quickly, so only prepare the amount to be used within 3 months
