Using a pressure canner for cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw Dave at the Mesquite convention center this morning. He suggested I email you my question. Your canning book<\/a> is my bible for all my home canning ideas. My question is: Do you ever use your pressure canner for cooking instead of canning? Have you thought about writing an article on cooking in a pressure cooker? If you do, do you have any recipes to share?<\/em><\/p>\n

Sorry Latricia, but I don’t use my pressure canner for cooking. I’m just never in that much of a hurry or if I am, I just open a couple of my canned foods. I guess I’m an old slow-food cook and just love my slow-simmered stews or oven roasted poultry and roasts. Any readers out there with tips and recipes for Latricia? — Jackie<\/p>\n

Canning apple cider and collard greens<\/strong><\/p>\n

A late congratulations on your marriage. I am sure that you and Will will have a happy and prosperous marriage. I would like to ask you a couple canning questions: 1) Is it possible to can apple cider? I know you can home can apple juice but I am unsure of apple cider. 2) Is it possible to can collard greens? I have been unable to find anything on doing that. <\/em><\/p>\n

I enjoy your canning and growing book<\/a>, plus your book Starting Over<\/a>. You have blessed canners and gardeners very much, and I thank you.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes you can home can apple cider. Just use the directions for apple juice. But once heated and canned it isn’t really “cider” anymore, but apple juice. Cider is a raw product where apple juice is heated and canned.<\/p>\n

Yes you can also can collard greens. Look on page 144 of my canning book and you’ll find directions for canning all types of greens. They are very good canned.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the congratulations. We enjoy each and every day together and are getting so much done every month that it’s unbelievable. And I thank you for your kind words. I truly love helping folks with all aspects of their homestead life. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
