Well, it's not actually "canning" per se, but I bought a bunch of butter on sale (1.75 $/lb) and made a batch of ghee. That'll keep for years, unlike bottled butter, which I'm told goes rancid within a year. Or maybe not. Anyway, it was 7 lb butter and it produced 6.5 pt, which is 1.85 C/lb, not 1.5 C/lb which is the number I found on the interwebs. It took about 2 hours, start to finish, to cook the water out of almost a gallon of butter.
WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

It's just sugar, water, and flavor. There's lots of folks making soda at home, so check the Google machine for suggestions.Greybear23 said:Hi, kinda new here, what do you do with the soda pop syrup? How do you make it and what can it be used for? What flavors? Also how do you get pectin from the apples and how do you store it and use it? Sorry for all the questions, Lynn!!!!

BTW, making soda isn't really canning, so you should find a better thread for your question. I know there's a homebrew thread, but nothing recent on soda. Maybe you should start a new thread.

It may be just me but I found this response quite rude!!! i new to canning, yes, but I do have manners!!! I have seen other things on this site that wasn't strictly canning and see nothing wrong with sharing the way we do things to preserve and save money on stuff, so if it is strictly canning i guess I will go somewhere else to look for stuff and participate with people with better manners!!! Thanks for all the previous information from those whom cared enough to share!! Lynnk15n1 said:It's just sugar, water, and flavor.

I agree, it was rude. We have a few folks like that here, so please just ignore and roll on...we all do when they pipe a rudeness our way. Some folks just sound that way, some mean it, some do not but it isn't the norm, so I hope you will stay and play with those who aren't quite so....um...hard to "put up" with>>> pun intended! 
It's food, you want to preserve it...that pretty much means it fits right in on this thread.

I think maybe the helpfullness was just lost in cyber translation and got turned into rude-ish-ness sounding, but I could be wrong, it has happened once a long time ago 
I think it'd be kinda silly to say in one post that something you were doing was "not canning per se" and then jump on someone else for the same thing in the very next post 
A soda thread would be cool though
Oh and to my actually response I opened the thread for......I aint cannin nuthin today! It's too stankin HOT! Anyone else melting?

Apricot and apricot pineapple jam. Thanks to the neighbor that shared. My blossoms were taken by the frost this year and around the corner the trees are full go figure?
