let all be fine and well,
this is an excellent resource for canning and drying, in easy to read
font and print. its a compiled list of jellying, canning, freezing,
dehydrating and drying. a really useful tip that i have done is to
place a screen door with plants on muslin cloth in a doorjam at the
top of a doorway, this way a person can dry plants even in a cramped
apartment. the old method of canning (without a pressure cooker) is
also detailed on this web page.
enjoy great peace, love, and harmony

> Cooperative Extensions, like the one we have based in Chicago, provide educators and materials on food preservation - they also have a "master food preserver" training program here. So I recommend searching State extension sites for canning information or asking them directly. They are always very concerned with health and safety, so their information should answer many of the questions raised here. And I'll bet you'll find the information is a variety of languages.

Don't forget that while they know what kills people now, they also have published instructions on the proper processing times for water-canning so that it can be safe.

But knowing that there is a clear set of guidelines on safe water canning (that my family's used successfully and EXCESSively ;) for decades) is comforting. I'm not arguing that pressure canning guarantees a higher temp--I know it does. There's no question about it.
