Thanks for the tip, guys. I never thought of hot water bath for leftover pizza or spaghetti sauce. May have to try that some time.

I used to know a woman who was south Korean. Gave her a surplus of peppers that I had in the garden. She asked what I did with my plants when they stopped producing fruit and when I told her that I just threw them away. She asked me if she could have them. When I asked her why she told me that...

Great Christmas score @Ninjasquirrel! Have fun with the new canner. I wouldn't mind having a small 5 pint type of pressure cooker for cooking the tough out of some beef roasts. I wouldn't be able to use it on my cooktop electric range but maybe on a propane camp stove..... Hmmmmmm....now my...

I'd like to try doing that...if we could ever nail a deer during hunting season. This year I saw 4 big fat does but I managed to bump them on the way to my stand and they bolted into thick timber with no chance of a clean shot. We also have CWD here so deer have to be tested in our county but...

I read somewhere that the 'best if used by' rule originated with metal cans in mind. They said that some canned items in metal cans such as tomatoes and products using tomatoes such as spaghetti sauces, etc, will start to leach chemicals out of the cans after a certain date. I would think that...

I was wondering if that was the 'cure' @BullChick. Thanks. When you pickle your eggs, do the yolks come out 'chalky?' We have a friend who is trying to create the 'perfect' pickled egg and keeps coming up with chalky yolks.

I have canned pears from 4 years back. Still look good. Seals are firm so yep, I'll eat 'em. Learning what is practical to can is the first lesson in canning. No need for me to figure out how to can Brussels sprouts as DH and I don't like them. Same with pickles. I love them, DH doesn't so no...

That's sad, Penny. I have a lot of fun with the local Amish. I can pick up a word or two of what they are saying when they speak PD around me...which I find to be very rude but got them to stop doing it when I told them my father was PD and spoke it fluently. They just looked at me wide eyed and...

That's sad. Mom was one quarter Cherokee. I'm the last generation that could be tribal legal but Grandma Alice never enrolled or if she did the paperwork was destroyed in a courthouse fire down in Kentucky. I have her picture and yep, she's NA. My cousin has dug into the family tree and all she...

I came from a multi culture family. Mom was from the south, dad was Pennsylvania Dutch/German from Pennsylvania. I grew up on ethnic food. From mom it was pigs feet, pork hocks and beans, apple pie, fried chicken and pot roast. From dad's side of the family, Shoo fly pie, sauerkraut and pork...

Hi Perchie!:frow I gave up my canner this fall. It was a big double stack job that weighed about 25 pounds empty, much more full. With degenerative disc and vertebrae disease in my neck along with narrowed inter-spaces and foramen I figured wrestling this beast around was probably in the top...
