[degen83]

This show is absolutely awesome :)

Greetings from Reno, where water boils at 95 degrees Celsius (203 F). 15-minute canning times here (and spaghetti that never turns out quite right.)

[QueenBoadicea]

Dang. I'm a baaad jam girl. I use non-canning jars, I re-use the canning lids, I substitute apples for pectin (pectin costs money; I get apples for free) because apples contain so much pectin they help to solidify fruits that are low in it. But my preserves taste great--all my acquaintances who eat them say so! So I must be doing something right. ;)

[aphantomfire]

Discard.

[Irishqueen88]

bow ties are cool

[snidelywhiplash]

"blueberry napalm." Heh.

Actually, that'd be a great band name.

[flickeries]

Discard, discard. If the lid pops open, discard. Discard, discard.

That scene almost made me go crazy D:

[Jgaldragon]

I wish he had used fresh fruits instead of frozen.

I've got a bumper crop of apricots on the way and i need to know how to save it

[andie527]

Preparing.

apricots peel more easily if blanched for 1 minute, then cool immediately in ice cold water to stop the effect of the heatdo not soak. The flesh of the apricot tends to brown on contact with air. To prevent this , eat or cook the apricot immediately, or sprinkle it with lemon or orange juice, or an ascorbic acid product.

cut in half and pit then cook as he has demonstrated with the frozen fruits

[pibeagles]

You do the same thing as you would to frozen fruit.

Alas, the webpage recommended at the end is nothing more than a search page. In fact the National Food Safety Database webpage links to that page but there is nothing there. I tried the same address with gov and there is something there, but no recipes as far as I could tell.

[DarkDemonDude666]

It must have been removed. This ep was a few years ago.

[twobitmage]

@metcalcj Google "national center for home food perservation"

[twobitmage]

@metcalcj Then, go "how do I make jam/jelly?", and there should be a long list of recipes

[undertakerxx27]

thanks a whole lot!!
