You see the processing times? 60-100 minutes in the canning thing at 11 lbs of pressure...

You can do it . . . . people have been canning for a very long time. . . it's a process and you just do it one step at a time.

Next years canning present(which I can hopefully get earlier to start experimenting with) is a pressure canner. As anyone who reads my lj knows, I'm into canning in a major way, very satisfying to be able to open up a jar of something you put up yourself.

Do not add noodles or other pasta, rice, flour, cream, milk or other thickening agents to home canned soups.

Jeez, that kinda limits things, don't it?

My family canned veggies and fruits for years. Every year it was harvest and fill dozens of jars.

Date your jars well. In 2008, you'll be opening soup you made this year and shipped across the country twice in a u-haul.

I do have a small pressure cooker for chicken. Makes tender poultry in minutes.
