WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[Mini Horses]

Have a canner of pintos, 7qt, I'm waiting to steam vent so I can bring to pressure & set timer.

I put 9# of dried pintos into 1/2 gal jars for protection. They're a lot of halves & not cooking them BUT bought at clearance at 17 cent a bag, will cook for chickens in winter. Good protein. Cheap feed. I'd say they were seconds.

Windy out, so inside day. Some clean up & laundry happening.

I made some pint jars of Mrs Wages Medium Salsa and then a Ball book recipe for my 1.5 pint jars.

Hmmmmm, one jar from each batch did not seal. Same jars, lids, and rings. Curious

With meats I'm always suspicious of a bit of fat getting onto rim during processing...as they vent. it's often a mystery. My table stays full of jars during canning, while waiting a couple days for positive seal checks before storing away. Phobia.

I check the seal on tuna several times over a week. The fish oil gets everywhere
