Darlene, just curious, where do purchase your mushrooms and what is the cost if you don't mind telling. The only place a have found are in grocery, and they are very expensive. I luvvvvvvvvvvvv mushrooms.

Nana Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. You make it so easy to follow.

Yes, we have a couple of county extension offices in the nearby area. I don't guess it would matter which one I went to. Do I have to take the whole canner or just the lid? I guess I should call them and make sure they know what to do when I bring it in.

Okay, I acquired a used Presto canner over the weekend and I already own another used canner. I have $3 invested in the two of them. I know the Presto canner needs a weight and I'd like to put a new gasket in it even though the gasket looks good. I've heard of having a canner tested to make sure it works properly. Do any of you have any experience with this? Where do I have them tested and what exactly are they testing? I hate to sound dense here but I've never canned using a pressure canner, only a waterbath canner. I just want to make sure that I'm taking all the necessary precautions. Thanks in advance for your response.
