I’m at work. Will have to do this evening. -
Personally, I love canning things. My favorites are salsa, habanero dill pickles, cowboy candy and spicy/hot dilly beans. Soon the farmers markets will be open and I will be knee deep in it.
What kind of things do you like to can?
lkrfletcher I do a lot of dill pickles (50-80 quarts a year). I make homemade sauerkraut and can it. Brandied cherry’s are good to preserve for those long winter nights. This year I want to try and can some taters out of the garden. Like YooperDog , our snow has just finally melted. Had about a 1/4 inch of new snow a few days ago, so the garden might have to wait. I don’t like to plant before June 1, historically the first week of June we have our last frost
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

lkrfletcher Thank you. I’m really looking forward to trying this out.

We grow and eat okra in the summer. My wife does the pickling and makes pickled okra and dills. She also makes knock out kim chi from napa cabbage and other goodies from the market.
I would discourage anyone from trying kim chi unless you are ready for a life-long addiction.

Sounds so good. Gonna be a great harvest this year for a lot of folks. I love it! -

So easy. My favorite thing is the crispness and the heat. Quality spices make the difference. -

processhead my short time there I was all over the different varieties. The stuff around here is not so great so you are better going homemade or to the big city oriental market. Had a Korean friend up here that made some great stuff, but she decided to get married and move, dang the luck.

Stella69 I use a guide from University of Wisconsin for my sauerkraut. Tells you how to make it and how to can it safely. If you can’t find it, let me know and I’ll find my book and send you the link.

processhead You are correct about a life long addiction. Can’t get enough kimchi.

While my wife is the one actually making kim chi, and not me, I have helped a little and watched enough to know it is not rocket science to make your own.
These little seasoning packs, along with some salt you provide, have the essential ingredients for making a respectable batch of kim chi and you can fine tune it like any other recipe to suit your taste.
