NOT a pressure canner, mind you...steam! It's way cool. Uses much less water, lighter and easier to handle, and cuts down the time because of using so much less water. Love love love.

Next year I hope to do even more, as a family of 5 we eat a LOT of it and really enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by.

The smell of fresh tomatoes cooking always brings me back to the first days of school, when Mom was taking her turn at canning.<br /><br />One year, we put up over a hundred quarts of peaches and apples. My hands were stained brown for weeks! It's a badge of honor. :D<br /><br />TALU!Trish Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843855934101044782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512868575052222329.post-64042521172232611492012-12-18T15:42:59.209-06:002012-12-18T15:42:59.209-06:00I forgot it was an archive link, so I was wonderin...I forgot it was an archive link, so I was wondering where you got all that corn this time of year LOL. It would never even occur to me to freeze corn for some reason. The funny thing is that I'm completely surrounded by corn fields, so it's everywhere around here. You would think that would have come up in conversation at some point if I didn't think to do it myself. I love to make pickles, but I usually just make small batches to keep in the fridge. I really need to look into canning so I can do it properly! My Mom used to make tons of jams and jellies, when I was a kid, so I definitely miss that!!
