craigrice I’m with calldoctoday . When you wake extra early to get a quick start to the day, drink a fast cup of coffee, and the heat index is over 100’F it’s just too hot. I would shovel snow over this heat. But I guess there are those who would prefer the heat The grass is always greener on the other side…
Chef Well, its kinda like this. If you think the A/C is not working too good, then spend a little time outside. Suddenly you we will find that A/C is working fantastic. Chili peppers will do the same thing…

Summers are to short up here and this year it has been chaotic with all the rearranged activities due to C-19. These colder temps are about six weeks earlier than normal. We have a couple of motorcycle trips still on the books for this season, we are going to have to head south just to find some good weather. With the cooling temps though it signals the coming cold smoking season, something to look forward to.

Tex_77 where did you get your tomato strainer?

102 degrees here today, cold and snow Tue. & Wed. Guess the gardening is done here. One more hot day and I’m heading to the field in the morning to pick tomatoes to can before the weather sets in.

@Fat-Bob You must be in Montana. I was shocked when on assignment in Montana as one day it was 106 & I did not realize it got that hot there, then a few days later it was down into the teens & 20s with snow. Amazing.

I checked again just the other day & they were completely wiped out of anything canning, jars, lids, anything. Oh the only thing they had was Ball books & it looked like no one had even touched those good books.

calldoctoday Had to go to the store for a few things and the few wide mouth lids they had yesterday were gone. One big empty isle. Not sure anyone but a Star Trek fan would understand this prase, but “message Spock?”

Chef sometimes your local hardware store will have canning supply’s

craigrice I bought them out 2 months ago

Well I got after the canning this weekend pickles, salsa, and pizza sauce.
-
Started a new project today making some fermented pickles.
-
I did a little research on using grape leafs in making pickles and found out it is the tannins in them that keep pickles crisp. Other things more readily available I found you can use are bay leafs, coffee and even tea bags. I went with bay leafs so I’ll see how that works.

Tex_77 growing up I never knew that pickles came in a jar, always went to get pickles and veggies from great grandma’s crocks. Her cold storage area reminded me of a mad scientist lab, sort of like the old Boris Karloff Frankenstein movies, but I can still remember all the smells of fermenting veggies.

Getting ready to make horshradish and looking for some advice.I have been making it for years but it is always good at the beginning but looses its punch fairly quickly.Am I missing something?

Tex_77 Wow, been meaning to took that up but that’s great. If it is the tannins, wonder if an acorn would work?
