Canning times<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know a person that got an All American canner (I am wanting to get one). She said that the instruction book listed times that were about TWICE (or more!) of the Ball Blue Book (or you!) recommend. She said that she had talked with the folks at AA (All American) and that they said that the times were correct for the canner. Have you ever heard of such? I know you have an AA canner and that you use it regularly.<\/em><\/p>\n

The instruction book that came with my canner has the same times as the Blue Book and I’ve used that for years so I’m not sure what your friend found. Get one! You’ll not be sorry! — Jackie<\/p>\n

Removing pulp from persimmons<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do you remove pulp from wild persimmon seeds? Mine are falling now and I need to start using them.<\/em><\/p>\n

What I’ve done is to cut them in half and rub the insides against the screen of a sieve. The seeds and skin stay inside and the pulp ends up in a bowl. — Jackie<\/p>\n

Straightening canners<\/strong><\/p>\n

My son has straightened the bottoms of the Mirro canners over the years. By using a chunk of 2×4 and a heavy hammer they flatten right back to original. I am surprised you haven’t thought of this. They keep right on working and I wouldn’t trade my Mirro canners for the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kay<\/em><\/p>\n

Duh! Why didn’t I think of that? Of course that would work. Thanks for the tip, Kay. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
