Canning recipes, food preservation and food sales

[Irving]

Just ordered a pressure canner the other day. Should be here Tuesday.

[TheGrey]

Well it's ABOUT TIME, Pickles. I thought you were NEVER going to get one.

[Irving]

It's been sitting on the want list in my Amazon for most of a year now I bet. I just added it to another order for the heck of it.

What kind did you order? How big? What brand?

[Irving]

I don't know, some big Presto.

[TheGrey]

I've got a Presto. It's a good brand.

[Irving]

Looks like it was this one.

[TheGrey]

Yep, that's the one I use. It's a good one!

Let me know if you need help or have questions. And when you're pressure-canning, add 2 Tbsp of white vinegar to the 3 quarts of water, or you'll get a white film on the outside of your jars.

Do you have a foodsaver?

[Dave]

I do have a foodsaver sealer, it's what I used for the other items I purchase through them. I just have quite a bit in the freezer right now between Zaycon orders and King Soopers having recent sales on whole chickens and pork shoulders. Though with bird flu threatening poultry supplies I probably should just grab a case so I'm not having to pay $4 a pound in a few months.
