Canning cabbage rolls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it possible to can cabbage rolls and if so do you have a recipe? Also, I need to have someone to tell me in a really dumbed down way how to get the index of your gardening and canning book.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s the link to the index. http:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/store\/files\/jc01-first_printing_2009-index.pdf<\/a> Just click and print and you’ll have your index. If you have any problem, let me know and I’ll do it for you and send it to you.<\/p>\n

Yes, you can home can cabbage rolls. Just make up your recipe but don’t cook it. Slip the rolls into wide mouth canning jars and ladle your tomato sauce over them, leaving 1 inch of headspace. Be sure the rolls are completely covered by the sauce. Process quarts for 90 minutes and pints for 75 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. If you live at an altitude above 1,000 feet consult your canning book for directions on increasing your pressure to suit your altitude. These turn out very nicely; I’ve done them for years. — Jackie<\/p>\n

Canning summer squash<\/strong><\/p>\n

You are the Canning Queen, my go-to canning guru. I have always canned diced summer squash, in water with a little salt in my pressure canner as a low acid food. The Utah Home Extension office has just issued a warning that ANY summer squash is no longer safe to can, using ANY method. What is up with that? Have you heard anything about this and what is YOUR opinion? I plan to keep on canning it, myself!<\/em><\/p>\n

Personally, I think this is just another of government’s experts trying to keep us safe from ourselves! Their reasoning is that when you can summer squash it gets soft and “could” pack down, making it a “dense” product that could possibly not be heated completely through for safe processing. Me, I’m going right ahead and canning squash dices. I probably wouldn’t do the thin slices as those could pack down. But dices? — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
