anna Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Any time your canner starts "spewing" under pressure, turn off the heat and get the heck out of the kitchen. Canner should never go dry if its working right and you followed instructions. Dry canner = BOOM!!!!!! Be careful. I like to use my older dried beans for canning. The ones you can cook all day and they are still hard. After canning they are no longer hard but they don't turn to mush either. Its a way of rotating old stock. Quote Link to comment

I will definitely do this with them. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment
MountainMommy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 This is so weird. I just made pea soup a week and a half ago. Didn't see this thread until now. Didn't can any, though. My soup is different, probably thicker. More mushy. Heheheheh. I use more peas, I cube the ham smaller, and I grate my carrots. No potatoes. AND I cook the soup before canning it, so it's thick, thick, thick. (We like the mushy kind, lol.) Pea soup is a family favourite around here. Quote Link to comment
MountainMommy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 And hey, where are those pics? Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 We like, love bean soup, but not pea soup. To me that is nasty. We are going to see about canning some bean soup one of these days too, but we will probably cook the beans a little bit first. Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 MM, this soup is cooked too. lol Quote Link to comment
MountainMommy Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yes, but cooked till it's MUSH. That's what makes mine better than yours Quote Link to comment
Tammy Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Ok, I'm trying my hand at this now. I don't like taters in my pea soup so I'm going to leave them out; is that ok Darlene? It won't effect the recipe timing or anything right? Also, just to be sure, I don't have to add vinegar to this right? Quote Link to comment
Tammy Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Oh yes...I forgot! Do you have any pictures of the finished product in the jar? I want to make sure mine looks the same. I like 'mushy' pea soup... my mom used to puree it and that's the way I like it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 You don't hafta add potatoes, and the processing time will stay the same. I'll look on my computer for the finished photos. I did take them but I must of not ever got them up. If I can't find them, I'll take a picture of one of the jars I have just so you can see. Quote Link to comment
Tammy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I want to share my pictures of finished pea soup... I don't know how to do it so I'll put the link to a photobook here.... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y236/tamtam67/100_4328.jpg Click on that link above and see if that works....

Tammy Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks Darlene! You have to remember that no student is greater than his teacher and in this situation....it is you whom has taught me I figure, if I follow the recipe you've given and it ends up looking like yours....it's got to be right. LOL. Your stuff is pretty impressive indeed. Thank you so much! ~Tammy Quote Link to comment
Stephanie Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Trying my hand at this today....hopefully we'll have enough left to actually can! Quote Link to comment
