Are you prepared? Trying to be more self sufficient

Yes, pressure canning, thank you for catching it.
In my experience pressure canning works better than hot water canning, especially for larger, 1 quart or pint and a half jars. Jars come up to temp more uniformly and seal lids better. I've never had a lid not seal on the pressure canned jar, but it occasionally happens with the hot water bath. Pressure canned lid gives a louder "pop" when opened vs a hot bath lid. I am assuming it is due to lower inside pressure in one vs the other.

We actually started adding times to the hot water bath over what's recommended to ensure good seals. Ladeling 7 quart jars and then bringing them up to temp takes time and sauces/jams cool down.

Barsoom refers to the place of my birth. I am originally from Hastor, Barsoom.

 

John Carter is from there, you probably know him.

We ran in the different circles growing up. He was in the palace in Helium. My dad made the best wireless finders for radium rifles on Barsoom. Everybody came to Hastor for them, green and red men alike.
