Yesterday I canned some Hot Dilly beans and some Banana and Jalapeno rings... Also, one jar of mixed hot peppers , they are a mixture of cayenne, black pearl peppers, and jalapeno's... I thought this would be good to keep on hand to put in chilli and such. Black Pearl Peppers....very very...

These are really nice ideas. Thanks for sharing.

I really feel bad for you.. I know what it's like to be a single Mom and trying to make it on your own. Have you ever tried selling stuff on ebay? I sometimes sell my kids clothes that they outgrow and get pretty good money for them. Babysitting is another good thing to get into. I has a...

Mine that I canned looks fine.. however, I did take a little bit of the liquid while cooking it and dip a bit out and put it in a separate bowl and whisked in the cornstarch until smooth before adding to the rest of the mixture. It looked really good... I can't wait to make a pie with it now...

Yeah, I did think about canning it without any thickener. I'll see how this cornstarch does and if doesn't hold up good I'll go that way the next canning. Thanks.

Wow, that's a great idea. Thanks for sharing!:D

Well, I went ahead and made a few quarts of peach pie filling and some blueberry pie filling as well. It looks fine but I'll have to make a pie soon and see how it turns out. If it does well I'll make some apple too.

Thanks will have to do that.

For pie filling is what I was gonna use it for.

What about canning them? I thought about dicing some up to put in soups and stews or to use on pizza's too and canning them but I have never done it. Has anyone else ever canned them like this before?

Has anyone ever used regular cornstarch instead of clear jel? I read somewhere that the only difference is that cornstarch just makes your food look cloudy but tastes the same. Any insight on this anyone?

I made a batch of chilli with all the ingredients from our garden and the beef was from a beef from last winter that was in the freezer. The beans I added were from dried beans last year as well that I had canned. I added 1 whole cayenne pepper from the garden and it was super hot! We loved it...

wow, that thang is huge!

Those little dolls are too cute! Would make great little gifts. Christmas is getting close and I am trying to think of some good things to give as gifts for my teenage kids that can possibly be homemade. My Daughter is 18 and my son is almost 13... I also have a stepson that is 25 and have no...

lol, you all crack me up! Yes, be sure and post pics of your dinner. No, I didn't see the big cushaw? Where's it at?

Wow, that's a terrible thing to do to someone who has worked so hard to make something and then to have them not even open their gift! I have learned my lesson too over the years with my own family. I made my Mom some jelly. It was elderberry and kudzu jelly. Both she had never tasted before and...

potato soup sounds great. Hubby loves it. I'll have to make some before long. Oh, and would love to see pics if you get a chance to post some later.

Thank You! I did keep a couple of big pieces of the cheesecake out for me and Hubby...lol... I dare to make a whole to keep for us or we would gain 10 pounds each...lol..

I love see what everyone is cooking or baking so I thought I would start this thread. I didn't see one like this on here so.... here goes... I had a lot of special request baking to do today. My Aunt wanted a New York style cheesecake, my cousin a peanut butter pie and my Husband and son wanted...

No, they do fine this way, they weren't mushy at all. Just like what you would get from the store only much better taste.I got the recipe from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. The only thing I do different is just use the stock that they simmered in.
