87 pints green beans with 4 fails
73 pints of carrots 0 fails
72 pints corn 1 fail.
Not to bad for two people in two days.
SUN UP TO SUN DOWN
Next will be tomatoes and I must say I’m glad it will be two weeks before I do them because my lower back and my ankles are done.

So can someone post "canning green beans for dummies" for me? I guess i need step by step because im new at this and had 6 quarts. I just dumped them out because i opened one and it smelled like a sewer, released pressure and fizzed like soda. I obviously did something wrong! WB method

I finally got some our shelves put together and starting to organize my canning. 🥰 I am feeling very accomplished today. Enough for the break. Time to get back to work and fill up another shelf. I’m just getting started. 😊

Just saw this post and thought y’all would like to know:
“Resilience in a Jar
Last week, in the aftermath of devastating floods in the mountains of Tennessee, I was given a gift I’ll never forget—these jars of canned beans and apple butter. They weren’t just pulled from any shelf. These jars, coated in muck and debris, were salvaged from a home nearly swept away by the floodwaters, the remnants of a family’s garden.
The homeowner, standing amid the wreckage of their life, handed these to me with strong pride, a symbol of resilience and survival. It was impossible to refuse. These jars represent so much more than food—they’re a testament to the strength and heart of mountain people, who, despite the odds, continue to rise above. In times of loss and destruction, it’s the simple things that remind us of the unbreakable human spirit.
If these jars could talk, they’d tell a story of love, hardship, volunteers, and community. This is the strength of Tennessee, of Volunteers, and flood survivors.

Hey!! I’m a beginner canner. I’ve been canning for all of 3-4 months. I’m wondering if there’s any chart/ resource out there that gives water bath canning times for all foods?? I do want to pressure can as well but for right now all I have is a water bath canner. Picture is what I’ve done earlier this week???????? TIA

I was craving pasta salad so I decided to make a batch with extra veggies and of course no pasta. I chopped up broccoli, cauliflower, black olives, kalmata olives, pepperoncini peppers, pepperoni, salami, and fresh mozzarella. I mixed that all together with zesty Italian dressing. It's amazing!
