Please beware that just because they show it on U-Tube and it looks great and easy, that does not make it right! This week, there are several new ones from women, where the process is translated. I saw one for cheese dumplings, etc, using an unusual method. It looked safe.
Others were water bathing meat. Please do not do this? They also processed for fifteen minutes....NEVER!!! During a crisis is an especially bad time to use new methods you, or a trusted friend/relative has not used. Use your canning books, I am begging you! They also show canning in a pot without covering the jars. If anyone has used any of these and you are still kicking, let us know. I would love to be proven wrong!
We drank my homemade Bloody Mary mix this week, for breakfast, with French toast. I made it a year ago, using everything from the homestead, including horseradish. We didn't make them "high octane", so we could put in a full day. Diane Devereaux, my preservation expert, has the recipe. It's amazing. I know you get tired of my talking about her...Chef, Prepare, Gourmet canner...what a woman!
