Thanks for the recipes, ladies!
I made blueberry jelly, strawberry jam, and blackberry jam last year for the first time. I got rave reviews! They were great Christmas presents for some of my harder-to-buy for folks.

Thanks Tammy! Glad the tips sound good. Friend Hubby would say I'm full of 'em. ;)
I never thought of it before. If I'm "mosquito's mom" I guess that makes me Momma Mosquito - right TA? Hmmm.

I have canned all my life. I don't recomend buying a used pressure canner. The seal can be old or damaged and could explode on you. I got my last one at Walmart. You used to go to your home extention office and they would check your canner for you, but they don't exist anymore ( gov.cut backs). Now if I'm in doubt I buy a new one. Use only canning jars in a pressure cooker, other jars can break in the canner. Ball or Kerr are the best. You can also get really good canning books from both companies. They're good starter books. I have also seen Hot baths at Walmart. These are the non-pressure cookers that you use for pickles, jams, Jellys, ect. The investment in the jars can be a little expensive but unless the mouth gets chipped or the jar cracked they will last you a life time. I have alot of my grandmothers jars.
A tip about corn. If you are going to freeze corn on the cob or off, instead of blanching it in hot pot of water, run it through the wash and rinse cycle of your dishwasher. Don't use the dry cycle though. You can do alot more corn alot faster.
A good way to do apples is to go ahead and peel and slice them. Then mix in the sugar and the spices. Freeze in freezer bags, then all you have to do for a pie is add the four and butter. It works good for other pie fruits also.
Don't worry about jelly that doesn't jell. It's great on pancakes, waffles and french toast. My kids loved it when my jelly didn't jell.
Don't worry about food poisoning. As long as the jar is sealed your safe, unless it has set on the shelf 3 or 4 years. The only thing that worried me was canning meat. For that reason I've never done it.
Hope I've been of some help,
Dianna

I have a friend that freezes apples for apple pie as you described, Dianna. She said it's great because it saves a lot of time overall.

I have helped my mom and granny with canning, but never did any all by myself. Do I need to get one of those big pots specifically for the jars to boil in? Or can it be any pot that will hold the jars?
Also, about those jars - any brand better than another?
It's better to use a reagular canning kettle. It comes with wire insert that hold the jars in place while they are boiling. Also it's good to have a pair of canning tongs. The canning kettles you can usually buy them at kmart, or any good hardware store. The canning tongs usually come in a kit with a few other canning utensils. The tongs are very important so you don't burn your self whenil handling the hot jars.
Canning jars differ mostly in design. But the most inportant thing are the seals and lids. Do not use old seals, or old lids with any rust on them.

When you're canning tomatoes do YOU put salt in the jars? I never have because we have enough salt in our diets. My mil always put a good tablespoon in each of her jars. Mine usually boil some out into the canner even though I leave headspace. She packed hers right to the lid and hers never boiled out. Is that the difference?

Anyone interested in a recipe for making relish out of those great big yellow cucumbers that lurk under the plant leaves? It's delicious, especially with hot dogs!
Also, who cans their small potatos, and small onions? Any suggestions or recipes?
I'm doing all of my regular canning this year, but want to try more. I'm in need of a pressure canner so I can do more than pickles, relish, and tomatos!

I hope it's alright to pursue this in this particular thread since it's about canning.
I defninitely like the not adding salt. Any clue as to why my jars invariably spill over into the canning pot? I've tried more headspace, less headspace, I tighten the lids. They still seal but I've wasted juice and the jars have quite a headspace of air. (my sil would definitely scorn if she ever saw them) This has happened no matter what canning method I use. I'm self-taught on most things I do so I could be missing something.
