I haven't canned anything today.. really. There are quite a few refrigerator pickles in the canning jars in the fridge as a result of some work done today tho! I'm counting it. (:

Did 12 half pints of margarita jelly yesterday that didn't set up and didn't even seal. *sigh* I just dumped them and chalked it up to a bad day. May do dilly beans tonight.

Did another 15 pints of salsa today. Shew!! That's a lot of work but so worth it!!

I made 7 pints yesterday and it's WONDERFUL!!! I'll def. be making more of this!

WOW Mom11!!! That's impressive! I did some of Annie's Salsa today. 7pints.

Did a small batch of banana peppers early this morning. 3 pints.

ugh... I'm crying. I want to make this so bad. I love banana but have a horrible analphylaxsis. So much so that I have to carry an epipen. Soooo allergic to bananas. It's so so sad.

11 4oz jars of super hot pepper jelly! (:

WOW!!!! 28qts!! That's amazing!

Oh... worm guy!! That was for the pickles! I'm sorry I wasn't clear.

I did 7 qts of beef stew last week. More on that in a minute- I did 7 qts of the dill pickles from the 1st recipe in the Pickle recipe section. I can't wait to see how they taste! * A quick question on the processing time for that tho. It says 3-5 min for one qt? Is that right? That's what I did but I thought it needed at least 10m? * This was my first time doing beef anything. I ate some of it last night and ... it's not as good as I thought it would be. ): I used the recipe in the BBB for Beef stew. *sigh*... oh well... it's better than starving.

Wow! I really expected to recognize at least ONE surname! But y'all are no kin to me! LOL My bunch are: Newman (via NC not NY) Stollings Adkins (of Wayne WV) Sifford Shy Estep Thoms Hughes

That is completely full of win.

Oh... this is the best thread EVER!!! It's EPIC!!! I've laughed, I've cried (because of things I haven't thought of), and I've read it in it's entirety TWICE! (:

Never heard the catfish bait trick! I see me stocking up on that!
