Canned dill pickles tonight, used my sous vide to maintain a percise temperature for canning.



Tex_77 Looks like a great idea, never thought of that, I will have to give it a try,
-
Started a small batch of kraut.

-
Tex_77 still haven’t found a recipe for bloody Mary mix
but canned 36 quarts of spicy V8 and a 3 pint trial run of rotel. It took 60lbs of tomatoes.

Tex_77 we couldn’t find ball lids so had to use another kind. Do you know what caused this during the hot water bath. 7 out of the 36 did this.

Surg interesting. I wonder if thats the tops that @DennyO uses. Have you used them before surg?

My nipples look to be a little taller. I don’s know if his has the clear glass disks, mine are laid on top of the folded full leafs.
But anyway here is a pic of mine at work. -

cdavis over-pressure. The pressure didn’t bleed off through the seal. Were the bands to tight?

Charlie, I’ve never seen that before.
Not sealing, yes
Boiling some out of the jar, yes
Just not that. -

johnsbrewhouse my wife said they were not. But I think they must have been. She does alot of canning and this is the first time it’s happened to her. She blamed the new lids.

Did the lids seem to be a lighter material thickness?

cdavis Those lids might be thinner too if they are made offshore

What all is in your V8? -

johnsbrewhouse she said all she get shipped from China. Go figure.

A couple of years ago I tried a copy cat V8 that was rather high rated and I thought it s—ed.

cdavis canning tomatoes has all most got me ready to pull up my plants. Thank goodness the end is in site.

@dennyo I’d have to see her recipe to get it all. But I helped her cut up beets carrots cucumbers jalapeños bell peppers celery and tomatoes. I’m not sure what else went in but this is the 5th year she’s made it and I like it better than the real spicy V8.

Tex_77 I bet my wife wishes I would pull mine up. The plants look rough but still producing like crazy. But it’ll end before too long. Then I’ll have to talk her into green tomato relish.
