Homemade Pectin, Iiquid & powdered
I made liquid pectin years ago, and froze it, but never did use it. Now it's too old. 😞 I guess I'll be sticking with the bought stuff this year. Here are some instructions for those who still wish to make their own this year.

Garlic from last year, What to do with it
I happen to have a plethora of garlic from last year, I’m wondering what’s the best way to use it to preserve the nutrition. It’s all perfect heirloom garlic that just didn’t get eaten over the winter. Some of it’s a little older so I do have to go through it. Does anyone have any recipes for either water bath canning,…

Tomato Sauce for Canning tastes odd
I took some of the tomatoes we grew this summer when I was too busy to deal with them and threw them whole into the freezer. Took them out this weekend and thawed them. Drained much of the liquid from them. Ran them through my Victorio food press to remove seeds and skin. Cooked them down today. But when we tasted them,…

Employee Owned Store and its Prices
In our small town (we have shrunk in population) we have several employee owned stores. I went in an employee owned store the other day and found toilet paper and other items for the same price they were a year ago. I am sure some prices have changed but I was really amazed! I noticed there were a lot of canning supplies…

Canning
Not a question... but just a sad statement. I wish you could can broth in half-gallon jars.

Uses for peach peels
I'm ordering a half bushel of peaches from my CSA and have a certain amount of dismay over the amount of peach peels that would go to waste after canning. So, out to my good friend Internet to see what it has to suggest. Found this: Her son was canning peaches and wanted to see if there was a use for leftovers. Nice to…

Just add water ...
And maybe a little cornstarch! Shhh! Nothing brings me more joy than a meal like this. And it's just 3 ingredients! (plus water and yes, cornstarch to make the gravy). Yes, I did spend countless hours canning the beef and green beans and dehydrating the potato bark for instant mash. But, the truth is...I enjoy…

Please be careful with new canning jars!
Our grocery store had Ball canning jars yesterday so I purchased a case each of wide mouth pints and wide mouth quarts. I am canning chicken and want to do beef stew next week. As I was getting everything ready, I checked all of the jars. I even thought how silly that was since they are brand new, but I decided to not take…

Ways to speed up daily meals
The way I have done bread in the past since I work an odd and changing schedule was to use the "Artisan bread in 5 minutes a day" recipes. Basically you are making the dough in advance and the dough stays in the fridge. When you want bread you take out enough for a loaf or two. Shape it quickly. Let it rise and bake. It…

Tomato Bouillon
Do you make tomato bouillon / tomato powder with your skins? Or do you just can your tomatoes w/ skins? P.S. Sorry, forgot to take a pic of the powder as it took hours and hours to dehydrate it!

Canning Lids
I successfully completed my first attempt at water bath canning over the weekend. I had so much fun. I believe I will be addicted soon. When I bought my jars I didn't even think about buying extra lids. With it getting harder to find the lids in the stores I have been looking online. I'm very nervous to purchase them from…

What's Your Favorite Way To Preserve Food?
I don't own a dehydrator (yet?) and am curious if that is anyone's first choice method for preservation? I do some canning and still like the idea of having stuff on the shelf ready to go but seem to end up freezing stuff more than canning...lately I'm thinking that I should be better rounded in my food storage in case of…

Pickling recipe needed
Does anyone have a great bread and butter pickle recipe they would be willing to share. my pickling cucumbers are going crazy. Would have loved to do lacto fermented ones, but live off grid and do not have a cold place to store them when they are finished. So will have to can them for shelf life. Thank you in advance.

Canning Green Beans
Think I might have bitten off more than I can handle. Had a really good sale for our area on fresh green beans at the grocery. Bought 9 cases 4.5 pounds each of green beans. Planning to can them tomorrow. Have been snapping every spare moment since last night. Before work this morning, while cooking supper tonight, after…

Canning cherry tomatoes - any problems?
by best guess is that its not a problem per say... as we know most soil is devoid of many minerals and nutrients unless someone (like you lol) knows how to get those minerals back into the soil. As the connection to tomatoes..most of the mass produced tomatoes i have understood to have less acids in them now due to the…
