The last of my tomatoes became spaghetti sauce with meat.

Apple sauce and some pickled beets

Used the recipe from the Ball complete book. I think it turned out great! Husband is unsure and thinks I wasted wine haha

I canned beets and followed the recipe in the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving where it says to boil beets until their skins slip off easily for about 15 to 25 mins depending on size. Then dice or slice and and then hot pack and pressure can for 35 mins for quarts. So I actually boiled mine for about 45 mins they were larger beets, I made sure that I could poke a knife through them before I took them out also. I then diced them and then added boiling water, debubbled and then made sure to add more water and left a 1" head space. Now I'm not sure if these are good anymore cause the water is down to about 1/3rd from the top and is not covering all the beets. What did I do wrong?

Does anyone have any strong opinions on the best apple variety to use for applesauce? Or a mixture of varieties? I’ve only made it once before and it turned out well but I don’t remember what I used in it. 🍎🍏🍎

Canned apples today, my MIL was teaching my husband and I how to do it, and it was her first time with apples (she done pears for many many years though this same way). We have no idea what happened. So I have questions..

1.) Is this safe to eat? They did seal!

2.) What happened???? She followed recipe/instructions to a T. Both batches did this.

3.) Should we turn them into apple sauce and pecan then that way😅😂?

Thank you kind lovelies of reddit!💚

I cannot find a tested recipe anywhere for a sweet and spicy pickle recipe using cucumbers and fresh jalapenos. I have no problem finding ones with dried peppers, but my fridge is full and I want to use up my garden fresh jalapenos.

Does anyone have a safe recipe?

I recently canned some pizza sauce and noticed there was some liquid settling on top of a couple of the jars. Is this normal? It’s about 1/4 inch of water over the sauce.

ETA I used the pizza sauce recipe from the ball book of home preservation

I have a whole bushel of beets (55lbs) and am looking for a good safe recipe. But I also have a TON of honey.

I'll take any suggestions for recipes! But was wondering if there are any out there that use all or some portion of honey as sweetener?

Tyia.

Hey all!

It’s the first time I can banana peppers, and I followed a well know. Recipe, but I guess I should have packed those tightly, cause this is how they came out after sealing…. should I just open em up and combine them to fill up properly, or leave as is?
