Put it in a can

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169448) • United States 1 Oct 18

Actually I "canned" four pints and a tiny jar of apple butter in glass jars. Always puzzled me about them being canned when they are glass. I gave them a "hot water bath" and as soon as I pulled them out, the lid made its popping...

36 lbs of pears, and I've barely made a dent

Kelli M @spiderdust (14756) • San Jose, California 20 Sep 17

I bought a box of green Bartlet pears on sale last week and have been waiting for them to ripen so I can preserve them. Pears ripen off of the tree, which is why you frequently see hard and green pears at the grocery store. I was...

My relationship with tomato soup

Faye @FayeHazel (40230) • United States 15 Sep 17

Do you like tomato soup? I have never been a huge fan of the orange-y red broth known as tomato soup. Sometimes we eat it with hot dogs cut up in it, and sometimes with a grilled cheese sandwich. Other times it gets added...

So, I'm kind of a rebellious canner. I was wondering if people here would be interested in that kind of thing? Like today we ate my homemade hotdogs and speghetti O's. Kind of like Chef Bouradie, but all homemade. Would anyone be...

On Wednesday night a friend called me and said he went to an orchard and picked thirty dollars worth of peaches. He said that was thirty pounds (13.6 kg). Would I be interested in helping him can them? We had talked about canning...

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 23 Mar 16

Our special recipe this week is-yep, you guessed it-Jam! Blueberry jam to be exact. Making the jam was fairly easy but the "canning" part not so easy as I don't have the proper equipment. We did manage to get it done and in the...

snowtigger35 @snowtigger35 (51) • United States 21 Aug 11

Does anyone else do home canning anymore? I have found it hard to find anyone who does this and have often had people ask me why i do it. Home canning takes a lot of time but saves a lot of money in the long run. So why not? The...
