Re: Canning recipes

SBN, I did a bunch of canning this year. Snap beans, tomatoes and such. Your canner should have come with a book of recipies. Ball jars has an excellent canning book. Just be sure you use pure canning salt. Regular table salt with get cloudy int he jars after they sit for a while.<br /><br /> http://www.homecanning.com/usa/ <br /><br />The Ball canning book is like a bible for canning. <br /><br /> http://www.goodmans.net/get_item_bl-21400.htm

Well, 78 quarts later, I have canned beans. <br />Wife says, "we are out of jars", I say, "no problem"<br />I runs out to the local store and buy 9 cases. <br /><br />I walk in and wife faints. <br />She says, "we don't have that many beans"<br />I say, "oh yes we do, my neighbor said I could have all I wanted out of his garden"<br /><br />Wife faints again. <br /><br />So, back to the canner.

We blanch them first(rinse, boil with skin on for about 5 minutes, skin splits, put in cold water bath to cool and then peel.) Canning I guess if you mean boiling them with lids on for about 50 minutes with lids on. We can 9 quarts at a time. No weighing, just get busy and look up when the two 5 gallon buckets are empty. We're canning spaghetti sauce this week. Yum! Have fun!<br /> Hey do you add lemon juice or citric acid? We use lemon juice,but I'm interested in why one would use citric acid. Just curious if its better and why.<br />Bassy
