This link is to their demo library page, so you can use this any time in the future to see what's coming up and also to see the archived demos, though I don't see a search function.

Did you get the survey about feedback on new canning products they are thinking of marketing? I thought some were pretty neat and others - meh. I did send them feedback that there was no place to add comments, as I would have answered some questions differently or at least qualified my answer had I known that.

And yes, I had to call Ball to get the correct website for the demos b/c they didn't put it in the email, or on the freshpreserving website. I guess they had it on social media but I don't do that stuff - I spend enough time on Gardenweb, don't need to do FB!

Actually, I have to get out and bag some leaves at the church right now, I've been hanging around looking at the other demos on that site waiting for it to warm up a bit but bagging leaves will get me warm in no time!

Picked breakers yesterday, the last of the green beans too (snow peas didn't do too well, I'll have to try again in the spring). Tomorrow will be the green tomatoes and I've got to get pickling b/c cold front coming in - maybe not too cold this weekend, but next week will be winter coat weather (lows around freezing, highs in the 40's)!

So Dave, how did you fin that link? Could you see comments, since they mentioned having questions? I couldn't see any, not even my own. What recipe did they use (ground meat? Beans?)?

It was nothing special - mostly banter back and forth between the guy filling the jars and the girl putting them into the canner. They were short when it came to filling the jars so made point of talking about how you don't process the jar left over that has too much headspace. But that you can....freeze it or put it in the fridge. Also talked about how you add extra seasonings or beans or whatever you want for personal taste AFTER you open the jars.

Didn't watch it all as lots of it was "sell our stuff" info - see our canning funnel, see our hot jar holder, here's how you use our combo lid magnet and headspace measuring tool, see our lid wrench, our Ball jar lifters, etc.

As to recipe - can't say except she mentioned it was a no beans recipe and beans are added at serving time.

Dave

Thought they might have had a recipe for chunky meat instead of the ground meat in NCHFP Chili con Carne but if they didn't have beans in it, it doesn't matter, sounds like it was basically seasoned meat?

And no didn't see or hear anything about questions from viewers.

Dave

I'm not interested in ground meat in chili - if they had been taking questions I would have liked to ask about using meat cubes but you think I could make the NCHFP Chili con Carne with meat cubes instead of ground? Or even the Ball Complete (which sounds like the recipe they used, some BBB recipes are different but some are the same) which doesn't use beans, but use cubes in that?
