Canning...
Anyone ever do any canning? I just bought a pressure cooker/canner for bigger batches of chicken stock, and I've been doing a little canning today. I made some wine jelly earlier (tasty, like fancy grape jelly), and I've got some fig and balsamic jam on the stove now.
I'll make a few quarts of chicken stock tomorrow and can that up, too. |

Nothing sweeter than the sound of a cooling set of jars popping as the seals set

Nothing else like it especially if you're canning produce from your own garden! Fig and balsamic, sounds interesting.

If you want jelly, you can't go wrong with rhubarb jelly. Stuff is from the heavens, well, at least my Grandmothers is.

Wife teams up with my mom and makes pickles. EVERYBODY says they're the best pickles on earth. In the history of mankind. Unfortunately, I'm not a pickle guy.
Mom used to can a bunch more shit too, but doesn't get around to it much. I've heard pickled jalepenos are good. Wife is going to pickle some okra if the goddamn cocksucking rabbits don't eat them. |

I would like some pointers too. I am new to it and don't have any grandparents to ask for pointers.

My primary focus right now is the chicken stock. I've always only made a couple quarts at a time and I've always just frozen that, but now that I have a larger pressure cooker, I'll make more. However, next spring, summer and fall I'll be hitting the farmer's market.

Why do they call it canning when it's going in a jar? Wouldn't it be jarring?

My parents do a lot of it. They're 72.
Not sure what I'm saying there. |
