How is it possible that these bunglers usually seem to escape the consequences of their own stupidity, but innocent bystanders are most often the victims?<br /><br />DanDan Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03711690459493179651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79620746779876266.post-12184989949384644172015-09-05T06:02:43.957-05:002015-09-05T06:02:43.957-05:00I have always ONLY used a hot water canner. I gues...I have always ONLY used a hot water canner. I guess that's what I grew up with.....well "the light came on" and we have a pressure canner this fall. I'm loving it!! It made me a little nervous using it the first time (even though I use a pressure cooker a lot) I now feel at ease using it.colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091111962396100032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79620746779876266.post-16993144329414699022015-09-03T09:32:48.347-05:002015-09-03T09:32:48.347-05:00BRAVO!!!!

I don't think I can count the number of "gift" jars of food that we got from parishioners that I thanked them for, then proceeded to go into the kitchen and dispose of the contents. I knew those people well and my words fell on deaf ears as well. Concerning the dangers of canning beans in a water bath canner????? "I just double the amount of time it calls for in the book" When I explained to her that that still wouldn't bring it up the the temps for safe canning, I got the standard answer, "That's the way my mother did it, that's the way I do it and no one has ever gotten sick." I learned to be very, very selective at church potlucks!!! I am going to share this blog post on my FB page....it is very important, very good and very timely. <br /><br />Bless you!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560593929780473106noreply@blogger.com
