You Reap What You Sow (Garden Harvests)

I never pressure cook I like to bath all y canning so no help here.

You have to PC some things, beans and fish for instance. A lot of tomato products should be because a home gardner seldom knows the acid content of his tomatoes.

That is why they have the citric acid additive Wayne. I have not had a issue since I started using it on maters and beans. Fish I definitely agree with you on the need for a cooker.

I guess I've heard of too many deaths of botulism from green beans over the decades, I just don't feel comfortable with anything but pressure cooking. Its the same strokes, just a little longer in time.

Couple of questions. Why are my red bell peppers still green? Anyone know of where to get a decent but inexpensive canning pressure cooker? Wife's birthday is Sunday.

I bought a Presto 16 quart from wally world a few years back and have had no issues at all with it. It can be used as a pressure cooker or a water bath canner. Seems like it was around $80 if I remember right.

Presto 16 Qt at Amazon

I'm not sure I would like the new ones as well as my old one. The sound of the weight jiggling is like a security blanket.

They can be used both ways and if you add a rack, available, there is no difference on the water bath side.

Good day in the garden. I even made 2 gallons of home brew.

Been loaded up with maters so I bought a sauce maker the other day. Made up about 30 lbs of maters into sauce yesterday. Not one seed or piece of skin in the sauce. Now I need to get the salsa screen for it. The machine worked great.
