But. When a jar of apple pie filling is opened and that yummy goodness is gobbled up, I'm *so* thankful and realize that the 'bad' side of canning is but a fading memory. Almost. ;o)<br /><br />jAne at tickleberry farmsherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869744622519612793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-77061862624899092752009-10-17T14:42:16.245-04:002009-10-17T14:42:16.245-04:00Having grown up canning most of our food, I can en...Having grown up canning most of our food, I can entirely relate to this post!

But my-oh-my there is an incredible amount of work that goes into it! We used to can and make jellies, but we finally gave it up because it would consume entire weekends (precious time when you are both still working).

I canned a batch of bread & butter pickes in Sept. & somewhere in between my 3 year old trying to "help" me and breaking up an arugment over a new shirt between my girls....I doubled, (maybed tripled) the salt in the recipe & when we finally opened our jar of pickles, I thought ewwww! What the heck! Jar after jar was ruined...so frustrating...the wasted days! BTW, Did you try baking soda on your cooktop? That often works for me.

Every time I've canned I under-estimate how many jars it will need. That's why I freeze stuff, even tomatoes! Love the home canned, but don't always have time. Northern Michigan didn't produce many tomatoes this year; not enough to can, anyway! <br />You had me cracking up out loud (at work!) when I read this; you're so funny and accurate!<br />You could be an inspirational speaker when you retire from blogging!Sister Number Fivenoreply@blogger.com
