The directions and methods have changed in the last 15 years. <br /><br />I grew up in a family that canned 350 + cans every summer; pressure cooker and water bath.<br /><br />I use a small pressure cooking and use 1 1/2 pint wide mouth jars. I have some 1 pint--perfect when you cook for 1 or 2 people. I have a big blue canner that does quarts, but it is just too much for a small family. <br /><br />Stew, vegetable soup mix, green beans, corn, tomatoes, pickles of all kinds, beets, and meat. <br /><br />I made freezer strawberry jam 2 weeks ago. 2 qt strawberries = five 8oz jars (used low sugar pectin). Keeps 1 year in freezer or 3 weeks in refrig. This is a good project to make with children and it sure builds confidence.Marcia Class of 77https://www.blogger.com/profile/14983611541890265285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205498964819123657.post-24162632628486032992010-05-02T20:19:37.402-06:002010-05-02T20:19:37.402-06:00Oh Mags, we can learn this together.

I have a brand new one and have used a pressure cooker a lot, but when it's on the stove for 90 minutes, it made me nervous! But, all was well!<br />Everything should be de-fatted as much as possible. It is supposed to last as long as any canning. My mom's chickens used to last until we ate them! And that was hot water bath. They will go into my cold room and I'll keep a watch.
