I'm with Homey. It's just so simple to set them over in the canner to keep them hot until needed.
-
I went ahead and processed them for 90 mins to be sure. I did some when the recipe was first posted and they are very good. My bunch loves chili so this saves me a lot of money! Dh sampled the jar that didn't seal and he said they were good enough to eat right out of the jar. I agree! Another 5 lbs soaking tonight.

Happy Birthday! So glad you're back!

Happy birthday a little late...

I looked on NCHFP to get a processing time for these beans, and they say 90 mins for plain dry beans but beans in tomato sauce are processed 75 mins. Since these are in tomato sauce would you process them for 75 mins.?

Do you get any extra protection by using the oxygen absorber and the food saver on the same jar? I thought that either one used alone got the same results?

I'm not real good with explanations, but I do know that ascorbic acid (like Fruit Fresh) is used to keep fruit from turning dark. Citric acid is what you add when canning tomatoes to make them have more acid so they will be safe to can. Citric acid is very sour so I don't think you want that in your mango sauce. (Citric acid is what makes Sour Patch Kids Candy so sour!) Hope this helps.

Happy Birthday George. I always enjoyed your posts here on MrsS and talking to you on Facebook. You are missed friend.

I thought that some of you that don't do Facebook might want to say Happy Birthday to "Old Maine Bear".

Happy Birthday Lori!

I have a french press that my mom gave me to brew loose leaf tea in. I never thought of using it for coffee. Thanks Gunplumber!

If anyone has a Rouse's supermarket in thier area ( MS and LA i know have them) They have Starkist Tuna and Kraft Mac n Cheese @2 for $1 no limit. I got 2 cases of tuna and 20 mac n cheese. Iwould have gotten more of the mac n cheese, but not sure how long they will store. I put them in a bucket with gamma lid. Does anyone know how long the powdered cheese will last? I do have mylar and oxygen absorbers I could use. I'm thinking you would open the box and put the macaroni and packet of cheese directly in the bag? Opinion anyone??

Great news!

Luma, the seasoning is quiet salty also. You might want to cut back to 2 teaspoons.

I tried the recipe just as it was on the video. It was good except there was a taste of some of the spice that I didn't like. So I decided to go to the meat department and ask what spices they used in their store sausage. The butcher sold me a pack of the spice they use. It is called Leggs Old Plantation. The pack was only $2 for enough to mix 25 pounds of meat. I used 1 Tablespoon seasoning,1 cup of oatmeal and 2 eggs. So simple. When it was cooked I really couldn't tell it wasn't real sausage, except it wasn't greasy!!! This is honestly one of the best tips I have ever found! You guys are the greatest!

I'm not a big meat eater, but that does look good! I think I will try it tomorrow for breakfast.

I just ordered a copy of Cheff Tess's new food storage book. It's now available to order from Honeyville! I'm so excited to get it. Sorry, I couldn't get the link to post. Maybe someone else can post it.

Good to see you ANewMe! Missed you. Thanks ladies for the heads up on the free books.

Happy Birthday Dee!

for a speedy recovery for you Michael. I know your brain is always working overtime, so I'm sure you will think of all kinds of
troubleI ment to say good projects to get into while you are down! -
Not exactly cheap here, but I saw an ad in the paper for $3 a lb. They are in shell pecans, but already cracked. Not sure how much a lb will shell out, but it has to be better than paying almost $10 a pound for shelled ones! They also have satsumas so I hope we can get some of those also. We all love satsumas, and usually go through several cases throughout the hollidays. Last year at the farm they jumped from $15 a box to $30! I hope these are more reasonable.
-
Violet. Does this look like a safe way to can pecans? http://littlehouseinthesuburbs.com/2009/02/canning-pecans.html
