Canning thread!
Any home canners here in /ck/?
I can venison. Pretty popular around these parts.
I just use your mum's can, m8

I can cheese and milk, pretty easy to do.
It's gotten me through a few winters when I'm working outdoors.
It makes a change to be able to eat dairy when it's fucking freezing outside.

I do. Jams, jelly, pickles, beets, apple butter, tomato sauce, corn. Lots.
>>7282494
Total destruction.
It's the dead of winter here, so eating through the stuff I put up last summer. Almost out of jam and I think I'll have the last of the pears tonight.
>>7282183
Wow. Source on the video? That was the nicest smackdown I've seen.
>>7282183
It's amazing that Jack thinks so highly of his cooking
The man's a hack and should stop posting his potentially lethal cooking

>jack finally realizes how shit he is
>tries to hang self on rafter in his basement
>entire house gets pulled down around him, killing his entire family while sparing him
>emergency services show up
>he makes that disgusting cutesy face
>to show his gratitude to the EMS he undercooks a chicken

>canning cheese
For what purpose? Cheese can age naturally for over a year in cool dry conditions.

He hasn't uploaded anything online since the pulling it down. Dunno about twitter though, I don't follow him.
>>7285405
His twitter is private now, funny enough.
>>7285413
That's why I mentioned I don't follow him.
Anyone here have access to it?
>>7285415
He's just posting pictures of BBC and his wife.

Is ja/ck/ing it now a bannable offense?
>>7285459
I hope so
>>7285442
EVERYONE GIVE HIM A THUMBS DOWN NOW
I do a lot of canning.
>>7285468
Those ribbons impress me greatly. Are those preserves?
>>7285473
Jam, jelly, and conserve.
>>7285500
Do you have any tips or secrets? I, too, would like to win blue ribbons some day
>>7285510
Pomonas Pectin and in season fruit.
i can
i love it
i like to can beans because dry beans are a pain in the ass to prepare and canning 6 or 7 pints isn't a lot of EXTRA work than if you were going to just make enough for a meal.. and 6 or 7 pints is about $2 worth of dry beans.. it's literally 5x cheaper.. and you don't have to lug around heavy salty store bought cans
fresh produce is also key.. buy a bushel of tomatoes in august for $12 and have enough to last the year
also pie pumpkins and squash.. other things that can be a pain in the ass to prepare but if you feel like canning one day you can do a few and then make last minute soup that you don't have to bake a squash for 3 hours
>>7285468
That's awesome. It's good to be reminded that there are people will actual passion and skill on this board.
>>7285473
you can just buy ribbons online
>>7285468
do you sell these? or just enter them in fairs?
>>7287757
>everyone else is as pathetic as I am
Are canners like bakers, in that they don't actually eat their own food, but just give them to their neighbors and friends to get fat?
>>7287167
Pie pumpkin puree... Can it be done with a waterbath or is the acidity too low?
>>7282183

>>7288066
Nah. I eat the things I put up over the year. If you are very dear to me you might get a half pint of jam or pear butter.
If my friends want more I organize big canning week-ends. They throw in money or ingredients and they leave with jars.
>>7288070
>gets BTFO
>"better shitpost!"
>>7288068
you shouldn't puree it, for safety
leave it in chunks for canning and puree it when you make whatever it is you're making
>>7288066
i don't like to give away my canned shit.. if i do it means i really love you
>>7288076
Really? How much jam can one eat? That's a lot of sugar. You'd have to be a very active athlete to take in all that
>>7288068
sorry dude.. i didn't read your question right.. it can't be done with waterbath AND it's not safe to do puree :\
>>7288080
That's odd. Bakers are very generous people, and are always giving away (read: pushing) their cakes and cookies onto other people. I wonder what makes canners more selfish (less pushy)?
>>7288083
Probably just fat as fuck
>>7288086
my canned food is usually just produce, meat and beans.. no salt, sugar, acid, etc. added
i buy what i need to last me the year
if someone expresses interest in my preserves i might offer them one or two but i generally like to keep them for myself.. it's not like they're going to go bad
i'm also a decent baker and i find baked goods sit well at a gathering of people as opposed to a jar of cold, unprepared, canned tomatos
>tl:dr, make lots of things and try not to push anything on anyone
>>7288084
Yeah figured. Don't have a pressure canner, so short window of pumkin for me.
>>7288083
I make small batches... Maybe 1 1/2 pint (3 small jars) of strawberry jam and 2 of blueberry jam last summer?
As opposed to say, tomato, where I did half a bussel so I had 18 pints of crushed tomatoes...
If I give you some of my jam, yes, you are a very good friend.
>>7288101
You sound like an insufferable cunt
>>7288101
>i'm also a decent baker
nice blog
Whats the point in deleting the Ja/ck/ threads? better off just containing it and letting us Ja/ck/it in peace.
>>7288105
lol, that possessiveness over wet tomatoes and jam
>>7288121
Cuck
>>7288114
I would'nt have storage space for it. It's not too bad, I have plenty of high acid food I can make.
And I've got a good pattern for tomatoes... Skin, cut, simmer, pack, stick in their waterbath for 35 minutes... The processing time allows me to do other stuff at the same time (laundry, watch tv, browse 4chan). Nice little rythm.
>>7288124
The tomatoes make sucky gifts. The jam I make for myself. And a 25-30$ the half crate of blueberry last summer if you want me to make extra for you, bring me the extra fruits.
>>7288129
very constructive
>>7288131
that's cool.. i forget about space issues..
i take my pressure canner and a couple burners and pots down to the river and make a field trip out of it
it's far too hot to do a lot of canning in my place during tomato season
>>7288121
i love the canning thread and the jack thread
why do they delete jack?
>>7288172
>why do they delete jack?
because they think they are big men
canner here. my family has just canned pickles and tomatoes though but it has worked for us. most of our food has been from scratch. it can be hard sometimes though...
>>7288189
Pull up a chair.
>>7288189
that being said, i can only eat my families pickles. otherwise i dont and wont eat any other pickles.
>>7288155
That sounds nice. I cook inside but let the jars cool outside (also helps space wise).
Pic related, from making tomatoes last summer.
>>7288216
That looks disgusting.
>>7288221
Afraid of veggies?
>>7288216
that looks amazing. it looks like my childhood. wherever that place is has better tomatoes growing than we did.
>>7288221
you seem like a real fucking faggot. go back to the rotten pussy you crawled from and tell the people at tyson and mcdonalds i said hi.
>>7288246
How much fucking oil did he use in this?
>>7288246
Besides talking out his ass about roasting vegetables separately and oiling them like an autist, what was wrong with the recipe?
>>7288216
nice.. mine are on an unlit shelf so this is the best photo i can get right now.. processed in august of last year
>>7288412
they seal right with that much headspace?
