Oh My Lord!! I love this site!! An amazing amount of information. Gonna take me a while to soak it all in.
Sorry I have been absent, but my laptop was in the shop. The desk top is a pain to me. Too new, plus the Hubby uses it and I am afraid I will mess it up. I know, silly, but took me forever to get used to one.
The Ball Book I have is called Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. Then it says 400 delicious and creative recipes for today. I don't think it is THE Ball Book of Canning. Is there any way one of you can post a picture of the one I should get? I would so appreciate it.
Now I know why Mamaw and Mom froze the corn. They left it on the cob and blanched it and then froze it. My neighbor freezes theirs, but insists it has to be off the cob. It is great corn, but I remember how good the frozen on the cob tasted too, especially in winter.
I love green beans. Love them, love them, love them. So will probably try to can some. Maybe start easier like some of you have suggested.
You all have NO idea how much better this makes me feel. I appreciate it a lot. No one around here cans that I know of. Across the road, they do tomato juice and salsa. May watch them. Their pickles were limp and nasty...(Don't tell them I said that!)
May try the county extension office as well.
