I nearly always make bean and split pea soup from ham bones with a little meat on them. You can safely can it as long as it doesn&#8217;t go into the jars with a thick consistency. As it cools it will thicken, but don&#8217;t let that worry you. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n<p><strong>Canner went dry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I was canning up extra turkey (90 minutes&#8230;pressure for altitude&#8230;etc.). During the last 30 minutes the jiggler didn&#8217;t jiggle. I did not turn the heat up or down but let the timer run out to the full 90 minutes. When I later opened the canner there was no water left in it. The jars sealed just fine but I wonder if losing all the water means the turkey isn&#8217;t safe to eat because the pressure might have gone down.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Deborah McEnulty<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Priest River, Idaho<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh shucks! I hope the dry canner didn&#8217;t get a warped bottom out of the deal. If it were me, I would re-can the turkey even though it&#8217;s more work for you. (Better safe than sorry.) Your are right, the pressure may not have been high enough without the steam for safe canning. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canning split pea soup I have lots of ham left over from thanksgiving and want to make split pea soup.
