Thanks Darlene! You have to remember that no student is greater than his teacher and in this situation....it is you whom has taught me
I figure, if I follow the recipe you've given and it ends up looking like yours....it's got to be right. LOL.
Your stuff is pretty impressive indeed.
Thank you so much!

I don't know where to put these two pics but I canned tomatos and also green and wax beans... so I'm gonna stick them here to share with you all. My first week of canning and I'm pooped. LOL

PTL! I'm getting to like this.....
I want to share my pictures of finished pea soup... I don't know how to do it so I'll put the link to a photobook here....

Click on that link above and see if that works....
Oh yes...I forgot!
Do you have any pictures of the finished product in the jar? I want to make sure mine looks the same.
I like 'mushy' pea soup... my mom used to puree it and that's the way I like it.
Thanks!
Ok, I'm trying my hand at this now.
I don't like taters in my pea soup so I'm going to leave them out; is that ok Darlene? It won't effect the recipe timing or anything right?
Also, just to be sure, I don't have to add vinegar to this right?
I tried this recipe this morning Darlene! It's the first official canning job for me.
I too changed the recipe just slightly but mmmmnnnnn it's sooo good. I ended up with 12 half pint jars and 1 1/2 quart ones.
I did have a few problems though...LOL... not with the recipe but with canning.
First off..... I wasn't sure how to hold the jar picker upper tong thing and was holding it upside down... it didn't work too well.
Then, as I saw little bubbles coming from a few of my jars and little bits of salsa floating around I decided to plick them all out and tighten the lids.... after receiving 3rd degree burns I quickly realized I shouldn't have! (not actually 3rd degree but you get the gist).
Now I've pulled them out and have them sitting on a towel on the counter waiting for the little sound of the pop. Each time my children wander by I have to make sure they don't bang on the tops like little drums.... you should see me scramble and try to stay in the spirit (not the flesh)..... I've resorted to mentioning the fact that IF they touch my jars I will have to start praying for a healing of their backside- all in the Name of Jesus of course.
heehee
This is fun! I'm going to try your chicken soup next. I have all the ingredients and just waiting for the time.
Thanks for the easy directions and pictures! They sure are a blessing.
God bless you!
