Do you like canning too?

@Atlotto do you write the date on the lid with a Sharpie marker to help you keep your foods rotated?

@cherokeepatti Yes. I'm not new to preserving foods.

@Atlotto we didn’t have Sharpies when I was younger so we didn’t mark the date on them. But by the time summer rolled around our stock of food had dwindled enough that we knew what we needed to use up first and pushed the new foods to the back of the shelves.

@Harlow well.. my dear sweet Harlow.. you are a complicated person I can see. I don't doubt what I see is just a fraction of the total you and all you do. But we are always our own biggest critic. I've seen the most amazing people often suffer the most. Their greatest gift and what seperates them from everyone else, is also the thing that, at times, is always on the verge of destroying all it's created.

@Harlow edit* Harlow spellchecker strikes again.. sorry.

@Coppercoil lol no worries.

@deepblacknothingness nah you should try it. It’s actually very easy. The only thing is to make sure when you boil the jars the lids seal. Sometimes they make popping sounds when they seal. Plus, you can press done on the middle of the lid to make sure it doesn’t snap back.

@SW-User adopted 😌

@HannibalAteMeOut awwww sweet. I can with my aunt & twin sis. we’ve done peaches, apples pie filling, grape juice, beets, soups.

@Harlow ohhh that sounds amazing! In my country we have something called "spoon sweets", I'm sure you would have fun making them! They're preserved sweets mainly made of fruits.

@HannibalAteMeOut yeah that sounds awesome. Definitely going to they it!!!! 😮

@SW-User Aww thanks Wion 🥰 I wish I could do some canning with you. That would be fun. It’s a bit time consuming but worth it. Tastes way better than the canned stuff in stores.

@Harlow It'd be fun!

@JRVanguard yep ヽ(⌐■_■)ノ

@NativePortlander1970 I always used a pressure weight when canning that I could tell when the pressure was up high enough.

@cherokeepatti With her it had nothing to do with pressure or hot enough water to boiling, she didn't cook the stuff hot enough for long enough, her temp was too low.

@NativePortlander1970 the pressure doesn’t come up to the right amount of pounds unless the temperature is high enough. The pressure gauge is a safety feature for that.
