Canning resources

I've been doing a little research on canning and preserving.  Here's some sites that might be helpful to anyone else who might be taking up this very worthwhile occupation. I just wish my tomatoes would start to ripen! Home Canning, Canning Pantry, The Nolls' Home Canning page.

LOve that picture, I was growing some pumpkins and some people came by spraying the weeds and stuff, and guess what, sprayed my pumpkins. DEAD as a door nail.
I was reading my Mother Earth New magazine just a few minutes ago and there were pages and pages of canning info.

Hi Lizzie!

I am doing a little catching up. You mentioned that you have a glass top stove. So do I. I have used it for canning for 4 years and have never had issues. I have a Presto Stainless Steel Pressure Canner that we picked up from a yard sale about 10 years ago. All we had to do is purchase a new seal. Oh yeah, a gauge too. Last year my son dropped the lid on the tile in our dining room. Oops!
I felt the same as you when I first started canning, but once you get started and have done it a few times, it will be like riding a bicycle.
I will be thinking of you late this week. I should have string beans ready for canning in about 2-3 days!
Good Luck!
