Peachy, I have a question for you about your canned cukes, yellow bean, and carrot medley. Is your brine just a regular dill vinegar brine or is it something a little different. I ask because I did not realize you could can these three vegetables varieties together. I have lots of cukes and carrots as well and was looking for something different to combine.
BTW, your canning is superb!Last edited by maggiespice; Sat, Aug 13th, 2016 at 10:36 PM.

Tomorrow's canning will be, cherry jam. I found cherries on clearance 16lbs for $15. I have been pitting them by hand while I watch tv at night. I take the ballpoint out of a pen and the other end off as well and use the tube to pit them. It works really well. My nails are ruined from staining, but it is soooo WORTH IT!

25 lbs of tomatoes down...25 more lbs tomorrow. Did stewed tomatoes as DH uses it for salsa. Doesn't like spice so works okay and cheaper than buying salsa. Didn't make as much as recipe said so that kind of sucked but got8 pints and 17 1/2 pints. Back is killing me. Early next week will make veggie soup for winter and pickled cauliflower for mom.

Just finishing up 75 lbs of tomatoes. 14 pints, 54 1/2 pints of stews tomatoes, 14 L of veggie soup, 2 1/2 pints of left over corn. And one more batch of stewed tomatoes chopped and peeled and sitting in fridge to can tomorrow after day at beach. Exhausted! Kitchen is a disaster even though all the dishes are done.

What a great thread! I had no idea this was here until Natalka told me (I posted a request for zucchini relish recipes on the Food & Recipes section today). Beautiful pictures you are all posting. I am going to enjoy browsing.

In the last week I canned the cherry jam, soooo yummy! Then I got a 20lb box of carrots for $10 so I used some and froze 10lbs of them...Then I got a case of corn for $10, it said 48 count but there was 56. I shucked, blanched, decobbed then froze it up. After eating some for dinner I have 12lbs of peaches and cream sweet corn in the freezer. Now I have to deal with the CASE of cucumbers I got for $1... ti time to can some pickles. It just never ends at this time of the year!

Can anyone tell me what the 'rules' are for buying secondhand jars? I know to look and feel for chips in the rim and of course look for any visible cracks, but are there any other things to watch for to ensure the jars are good quality and safe? Or how to tell if they're too old to be safe?
Of course I will only buy names I know are quality (Mason, Bernardin, Kerr to name a couple) but my mom is sure that there is a huge chance of older jars exploding. I would love some information to ease her fears.
Any tips on what to look for and what is a giveaway that the jars may be unsafe? If it matters, I was going to do traditional canning and pressure canning once I get more comfortable. I am lucky enough to have inherited an "All American" brand pressure canner from my late grandfather's estate.
If I've posted this here before, forgive me! I've been thinking about it for a long time and can't remember if I asked or not, and search is turning up nothing for me.
Thank you!

I have used 2nd hand jars purchased off if kijiji with no problems even in the pressure canner for 1 hr 25 minutes. Just make sure they are a newer style jar, not vintage jars with glass lids. I think you will be fine...but I am no expert. Congrats on all American canner so envious. You will love pressure canning can make so many things... Love all the meat I have canned, all of it has been delicious! Happy canning!

Hey Chantel, the All American canner is the best of the best! Hope that you get many good years out of it!
I was going to order one this weekend as well. It was the 21.5 liter. I decided against it once I read it should not be used on a glass cook for several reasons. I almost cried when I read that. Oh, well I guess I have to stick to my pickling instead.
