HSmom Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 It yields about 5 pints. Because of the meat, I'm thinking to can (in pints) at 10lbs for 75 min. Is that correct? Thanks in advance. I bow to your superior canning wisdom. Link to comment
Darlene Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 If it were ME... I would home can the sloppy joes. I would simmer the sloppy joes with all the ingredients in a pot for about 5-10 minutes, before filling the jars up to put in the canner to process. I would process 75 minutes for pints, and whatever pressure is appropriate for my elevation. For beans, when I make baked beans and can them, I pretty much cook them before I process them. I also do the pints for 75 minutes at the appropriate pressure for my elevation. If I made your spaghetti I also would do the 75 minutes, etc...it will be interesting to see how the zuke's do from being processed and just know that veggies like that can leave a funny taste SOMEtimes in what you're making. Good luck. Link to comment
HSmom Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Great. Thanks Darlene. One more? The pizza beans recipe I posted here: http://www.mrssurvival.com/ubbthreads/sh...ge=0#Post106085 Leave out the cheese and process 75 minutes at the pressure appropriate for my elevation? Right? TIA.

HSmom Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Oh, that pic is huge. Sorry. I don't know how to fix it. Link to comment
goatherder Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 If you have it on your computer, open the picture by double clicking on it, right click on it, go to Edit, click on Image, then Stretch/Skew. Now you can change the percentages to 50% or whatever size you want it. Link to comment

mrsrustyrooster Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 HS MOM , Just beautiful,lots of work too. My dh is the canner in our family. He likes to can the garden vegetables, but I do all of the fruit and jams. I am going to try out that white chicken chili. Link to comment
HSmom Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Watch out, that white chicken chili is HOT HOT HOT!!! My purchased canned diced green chilis say 4 oz and this time I only used a half-can. And I like hot food! If it comes out hotter than you like, stir in some nonfat cottage cheese (or sour cream if you can afford the calories), to mellow it. But don't add cheese before canning, only when serving, of course. It is DELISH - I especially enjoy the heavy cumin. Enjoy! I'm thinking that next time, I could do a double batch of pizza beans in my big pot and a double batch of white chili in my crock pot to make 8 pints of each. Those I can stack in my canner (I have a divider plate-type thingy that dh made), and process all at once. But first I have to WB a mess of pears. Link to comment
