Canning Alfredo sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you make your own fettuccine Alfredo sauce and can it? If so, do you have a recipe and how do you can it?<\/em><\/p>\n

This is one thing I haven’t canned yet. As it has both milk and cheese, I’m thinking it may try to curdle like cream-of soups do when you try to can them. Any readers out there who have canned it? — Jackie<\/p>\n

Hoop house<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have plans anywhere for your hoop houses? I love your ideas and have been wanting my husband to make one for years. <\/em><\/p>\n

Sorry but I don’t have plans for the hoop houses; each one is a bit different. Basically, they’re framed on the ground with 2x4s with uprights to hold a doorway and to support the ridge beam (2×4) on the other end. The hoops are \u00be-inch PVC, 10 feet in length, joined at the top with a 45 degree elbow…or not. You can also skip the 45 degrees and cut one 10-foot piece in half and bend the other 10-foot piece over the ridge beam and join it to the 5-foot sections with a coupler midway down. (If you join them on top, the coupler will eventually break due to the strain.). The PVC hoops are attached to the inside of the 2x4s with metal EMT clamps screwed over the PVC. Below the clamp, you drill a hole in the PVC to be able to screw the PVC to the 2×4, keeping it from moving up and down in the clamp. There is a hoop every 2 feet all down the hoop house.<\/p>\n

The 4 mil plastic is draped over the hoops and secured to the bottom 2×4 with lath screwed down tightly over the plastic. You also use this to secure the plastic over the ends, folding it as needed to fit.<\/p>\n

It isn’t rocket science. And it’s just amazing the difference this small project makes in your garden! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
