Thanks for the info. I was reading where you shouldn't can pumpkin. But, then I thought the gov. does so why should it be any different for us... Thanks

[NancyToday]

@txsonshine You did right! If in doubt, google it!

Thanks for making this vid Nancy, I have some sugar pumpkins I am growing and I was wondering how to can them.

Your vids are a Godsend!

I'm so glad. You can take her advice too, if you'd like.

The ball canning book does not recomended this method because of density issues.

You can can (sheesh!) pumpkin if it is hot packed in chunks with liquid (water). This way it will heat all the way through and be safe to eat. Same method works to can potatoes. But one should use a plastic or wooden spoon in order to be sure that the jar isn't harmed and cleanliness is of the essence.

I would rather trust a woman like yourself who has years of experience *wink*

God Bless.

Hey, what a sweet thing to say!

[NancyToday]

If it cracks the jar or rim, it won't seal and I'll know it's no good. Whatever the USDA recommends, it's in the canning info how to do it. No offense but the USA isn't the final word on how to do all things!

I would trust anything NancyToday posts...she has years of experience in this matter, and has successfully raised several children, who suffered no ill effects from her wonderful food she has lovingly put by for her family.

However I do have doubts in trusting a governmental agency that thinks it's ok to eat veggies that have been genetically modified with animal and even insect genes.

Pretty sure Nancy knows what she is doing.
