that snot that you refer to is where a lot of the umami flavor comes from...

this is what we like about them....the bad thing so far about the monsters we are getting this year is the core.

dw asked for some shade for her while canning, which will begin in the next week or so... the meds she is on for her diabetes the sun/heat messes her up. the only thing needed is a good chair and a fan and she will be set.....

You are too kind…...I can on the stove in the house under the AC. I can see the advantage of canning outside, not heating p the house.

that's one huge reason i love freezer jam. no cooking...

oven canning is much less heat than BWB, but that is best done for low pressure or pickled type things. pressure cooker canning is a whole different story - not done that here. we don't do meats or non-acid things (i freeze those sorts of things instead).
