WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

Dace,
I know I must have read the directions step by step 10 times, I still am, but better safe than sorry.

There's a kidney bean thread around that talks about cooking vs not cooking. I am going to try to soak but no cook method. I don't like mushy beans.

Questions....

When canning the dry beans, you just soak them over night first?

I can't seem to find the creamed soup recipes...can someone point me in the right direction?

Tanks, your beans are beautiful! I was a wreck on my first go with the pressure canner. I am glad it all turned out so well for you!

I soak them overnight and then I sit them in the pot on the oven and heat them until the water is HOT!!! Then I put them into hot jars, add liquid, then can'em. That simple

Dace, if you have access to fresh whey (do you strain yogurt to make yogurt cheese? or kefir?) then add a glorp to the soak water. If you soak for 24 hours with live culture whey, and discard the soaking water, the beans will be much more digestible and less gas-producing. A little ACV, raw if possible, will do, but whey is better because of the lactic acid-producing bacteria. Neutralizes the digestion/germination inhibitors that are in all seeds.

Very important if you have a SO or DH.....

I have not canned any veggies instead in the past two days I have froze several dinners worth of carrots and beans. I did a taste test with the family and the frozen veggies won. Yes, I know canning is more SS but I am saving that for tom products, jams, pickles etc...

I ditto this. I freeze my veggies, and save canning for tomatoes--sauce salsa etc, and jams and jellies.

Me 3 I can salsa, tomatoes, applesauce, peaches, some pickled things, some jams, but almost everything else gets frozen for flavor and nutrients.
