Mine is from 2007. I've found a few recipes that include cornstarch or olive oil, but not many.

Not all the recipes in the small-batch preserving book are for canning; some are for freezing, etc.

Unless it's Violet-approved, I don't buy the book and I don't consider canning the recipe.

That's too bad. You're missing out on a lot of good recipes and ideas from places like Better Homes and Gardens, and from other authors who do publish recipes tested for long-term safety.

Thanks!

Looks like one pint didn't seal. Oh darn, we'll have to eat it right away.... What a crushing tragedy!

Oh, you poor thing! How awful for you!

When I made blueberry pie filling, there was about a half cup leftover. We were forced to go buy a cheesecake to go with it.

Finally got around to the blueberry pie filling -- it is exquisite! Lemony, with a pinch of nutmeg.

Blueberry peach jam and peach rhubarb jam.

I think I put too much sugar in the peach rhubarb jam. Live and learn.

Hubby sez the Clear Jel arrived in the mail this morning. Blueberry pie filling tonight!

Still making applesauce of every variety -- grape, cranberry, cinnamon and spiced, and pear. The spouse is ravenous for the stuff!

Hello, everyone ... new here ...

Elk? Wow -- I feel so inadequate! LOL

I did about 20 pints of applesauce two weeks ago, just in time for a bout of stomach flu to roar through our house. Must find more apples!
