Journey, thanks for the reassurance on the canned peaches! The jars did seal, and i kept telling myself "they should be fine...they should be fine" but i couldnt overcome my brain telling me they didn't LOOK okay! It was more work than it should have been, but the peach pie filling from the freezer turned out GREAT! Tried one last night. I used a Pillsbury premade crust because i hate making pie crust, took the filling out of the freezer, out of the ziploc, unwrapped the saran wrap, and plunked it right in the raw pie crust. Added an oatmeal crumb topping, into the oven. Baked at 400* for 20 minutes, then down to 350* for about another hour and a half. Voila, delicious pie with no fuss or muss. I think i have 6 more in the freezer!
Steve, i dont think the kentucky wonder make that great of tasting dried bean, but they are easy to shell. No surprise they dont taste that great i guess, not really what they're meant for. But i make a lot of hummus, and will usually use a majority of storebought dried garbanzo beans, and then mix in a smaller amount of other dried beans or even a few dried peas. I really started drying them a few years ago to use for seed, but i didnt have that great of germination rates...so i've decided to buy my seed for (hopefully) a better chance of getting everything germinated at once. As ya know, i dont necessarily have enough time in our short summer to replant half of everything once i realize it isnt going to come up!! So, instead of wasting the dry beans, i just toss small amounts of them in here and there!
