Good Evening friends! I hope that you are well and looking for something good everyday.
I have been on a canning site for most of this day, while helping people with canning ways. It is the Rebel Canning Site on Facebook. They and I are canning rebels because many of us have canned for too many years to count. Like 40 years for yours truly!
So we have our own ways of safely canning just about any and everything. I was helping out some of our newbies. I only text on that site because they do not want you to share your link and that is what I am all about. Sharing my little food blog with my link back to it so you can re-visit and share my recipes as much as you like.
So, I been talking about the #10 Restarant sized can of peanuts and how to downsize it into quart jars. Cajun or Regular boiled peanuts are both good peanuts and way cheaper to do yourselves than to have to go out and buy them.
You will need quart jars proccessed for 90 minutes OR pint jars processed for 75 minutes in a pressure canner.
Start your PC up and start getting the water med-warm.
Open the #10 can of peanuts and heat juice and all in a seperate pot to get med-hot. There is a low water line near the bottom of the PC (about 2 inches deep (fill water only to that line).
Use a wide funnel and a soup ladle to ladle all the peanuts and juices into the jars. De-bubble and wipe jar rim with vinegar napkin. Leave 1-inch headspace in each jar. Put lids and bands on a finger tight. Put in the PC.
Put the lid on the PV and leave off the jiggy. Use a medium stove dial number like #7 and wait until you have seen the steam shooting out of the spout for 5 minutes. Put the jiggy on and let pressure rise to altitude (Florida is 11 lbs pressure). Set timer for 90 minutes (Quarts) OR (75 minutes) pints.
Now turn stove dial down to #4 and watch every ten minutes to see the pressure. If too high, then turn it down to #3. You are regulating the PC pressure to see that it stays the same. Every ten minutes look at it!
When the timer goes off–THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP OF ALL! Turn off the stove and walk away. Come back when the number gauge is at ZERO. Only then can you open the PC SAFELY! Open it with the lid facing away from you as lots of steam will come out.
Use jar lifter and a thick pot holder to get each jar out and set on a folded towel, very near the stove. (I am dropping my jars lately as they are heavy for me). So be close to the stove.
Listen for the pinging pops sounds as each jar seals, you will hear the ping. Music to my ears. The next morning, you can take off the band part of the rings and use a wet and soapy rag to clean up the jars and rinse each jar.
Label the jar with the name and date. It is good to make paper labels for your jars and tape them on. These will last for many years if you don’t eat them. Thanks for stopping by today. Please share my recipes. Connie B. #CONNIEBRECIPESWISDOMFORPENNIES
