Owen KiddUpdated August 12, 2015 I found some of these sprouted up in my garden here in Houston TX. Much smaller finished product, but that's probably a result of the poor water conditions at the moment!

digdirt2(6b-7a No.Cent. AR HZ8 Sun-35)Updated August 11, 2015 Honestly I don't find that much flesh left attached even with clings. I guess it all depends on how you remove the pits. So lack of appeal and safety issues aside, I wouldn't consider it much waste at all. But then I don't hot ...

rpgroves1954Updated August 10, 2015 I just ordered the parts to use my All American 921 1/2 as a canner. Bought it at a garage sale and it was set up with only a gauge and blow off valve, not a vent pipe and weight. My 1941x will stay as a sterilizer unless I reall...

LoneJack Zn 6a, KCUpdated August 10, 2015 I made the NCHFP recipe for Tomatillo Salsa Verde on Saturday. Recipe says it makes about 5 pints but I barely got 4 pints out of it. Didn't even have any left over to sample :(

Peter (6b SE NY)Updated August 9, 2015 I decided to buy a cheap dehydrator, as I also have all these herbs I just can't seem to dry properly, and wanted to try giving real "sun dried" tomatoes a go.

digdirt2(6b-7a No.Cent. AR HZ8 Sun-35)Updated August 7, 2015 I wouldn't use an aluminum coffee can lid as it is a reactive metal and will give it a metallic taste. So I assume you meant a plastic coffee can lid. And only 1 Tbl of salt regardless of the size of the jar or bowl (you say &quo...

Reprocessing jam & jelly questions

annie1992Updated August 4, 2015 I agree with Dave, I think the final product of re-processing is usually worse than the original product. Mine always come out like gummy worm consistency, more taffy than jam. I'd probably try it with the fig, but I think the Ch...
