What is your recipe for syrup please. I've done strawberry jelly, but not syrup.

Thank you! We don't need power. I am hoping the weather will be nice enough we don't need the heat or air. It has a generator if need be. Looking forward to meeting yall.

Do you have parking for a 40 foot RV? I have a panic disorder and can only travel in an RV. I would love to meet everyone.

Thanks.

Can someone please tell me why we can't can saltwater bream and blue crabs. I live in the deep south and my DH loves fish and thinks there isn't anything better than fried crab. I would love to add some to my storage. Please can someone help me?

12%

They were stored in my root cellar. The humidity stays around 40 and the temp around 60 to 70 degrees, There isn't any rust or bulging. Thanks Violet.

I have several cans of vienna sausage, and few veggies that are out of date. Could anyone please tell me how far out of date before I need to chunk them? Thanks

It is soft. I usually cook it down with onions. You can fix it like you would a salmon patty.

Me.

Thanks. I am having to learn how to can all over again. Please be patient with me.

Whew. Thanks. Could you tell me how to and how long you go in pressure cooker for pints?

Questions again please. Why do you add water to cream corn for processing in jars and why does it have to be processed for so long? I don't really like the idea of having my cream corn watered down. Thanks for the help.

Canned 7 pints and 1 quart of stewed squash.

Thanks

What's the recipe for canning pineapples? Never knew you could do that. Hopefully will be canning snap beans this weekend.

I have 2 old metal ice trays and I do know what the strawberry is for. I have one also.

The canned pineapple is still sticky but no moisture in jars yet. Hooray! The fresh pineapple turned out crispy with a beautiful color. Dabbed my bananas in the pineapple juice but they still turned dark in the middle. They were mostly green when I bought them. Going to try dehydrating apple tonight. My first time with them so keep your fingers crossed. Thanks everyone for the help. Everyone has been wonderful. Hope everyone also has a Merry Christmas!

thanks

I have another stupid question. I bought a #10 can of pineapple chunks. I drained them and put in dehydrater. They have been going for 36 hours. They still feel leathery to the touch so I guess what I am asking is should they be dry all the way as in crispy or are these ok? Do I need to let them go longer? Next time I think I will just go with the rings. Thanks for the help.

Is the electric pressure as good or better than the regular one? Never heard of it until now. Where do you get them?

I only found this site about a month ago, and that is why all the questions and not much posting. Learning. Its actually left over turkey. So it's basically been cooked twice and cooked deer meat added. All cooked twice and then put in pressure canner. Our rule of thumb is normally 10 pounds of pressure for 10 minutes. Thanks so much for all the help and will ask yall first before I start my canning from now on. I hope the emo was someone embarrassed. That is what it was meant to be. Thanks again.

Thanks Jeepers. I just don't seem to have faith in the preserving book once I read you are supposed to process fig preserves. Never in all mine, my mothers or grandmothers life have we ever processed them. I greatly appreciate everyone here and the help. I just can't get over the rice thing. If anything I would be scared of canned chicken. Now that scares me, but I do put it in campstew. Now wondering if I may need to throw that out as well. Lord I hope not. lol That's about half my canned goods. Thanks again for all the help. Now have to go and kill some more deer. I used ground deer meat in my rice and tomatoes.

Thanks for all the help. It is greatly appreciated. Went this morning and bought the canning and preserving book from my local extention office.

I've canned most of my life and now yall are scaring the beegeebees out of me. Now wondering if it worth the trouble. Greatly appreciate the advice.
