A crinkle cutter like this one is really nice for pickle slices. The crinkle cut, like in store-bought hamburger pickle chips, seems to add some extra texture that makes them seem crisper. Some other tips for crisper sliced pickles: 1. Pickle Crisp. Add it to each jar before filling. 2. Add a bay leaf to each jar. The tannins help crispness. 3. After slicing, put the chips in a colander, toss with some salt, and put in the fridge over a larger bowl for ten minutes or so. The salt will draw water out of the pickles, and the fridge chills them. Both help with crispness.

We put up 42 Pints of Salsa. Our tomatoes did really well this year as did the rest of the garden. Yep, lids are hard to find this time of year!

Awesome. It's always worth the time and effort. Something very special about cracking open those lids in the middle of the winter with venison on the menu.

Question do any of you Canners ever get your pressure gauges tested?
I remember both grandmothers sending the Grandpas down to the local extension office to get them tested before canning every year.

My wife and I grew up in families that had gardens and canned/preserved. Was just part of life. Still is. Anymore I don’t get to garden due to work, but her cousin who is our neighbor, grows produce for a living. Since he uses our land free of any lease fee he keeps us very well stocked with produce
Put up 188 ears of corn. Most on cob, some creamed 48lbs of okra. 16 pints pickled, the rest in freezer
24 pints and 2 quarts of salsa 20 quarts v8 juice( ball garden blend with some extras added in). Gotta do another 48lbs tomorrow of v8 and canned tomatoes
Then on to pizza and pasta sauce
Gotta pickle peppers again next week
Green beans next week as well. Will do 3-4 bushels probably. We do like Judman and add bacon in. Can it all
Vegetable soup 2 weeks from now I suppose. It’s great to add canned venison to for a easy recipe change
Have 5 quarts of pickled eggs I put in fridge about 6 days ago. won’t last all that long but I give to buddies as well
Will do pickled quail eggs from wife’s uncles quail farm in September some time
Can deer meat in fall
We busy this time of year
Last count we have almost 300 quart jars. No clue how many pints

Judman. Would love to try the pickle recipe you use if you wouldn’t care to share. I don’t care for the grandmother in laws pickles at all
Also, anyone use the ball pint and a half jars? Thinking I’ll try some if I can ever find them

After seeing this I thought I'd make use of some from my little garden. Could easily do another gallon, that thing grows them surprisingly fast.

I remember both grandmothers sending the Grandpas down to the local extension office to get them tested before canning every year. Never, been cannin for 30 years. I’ve bought exactly 1 gauge and 1 gasket
