One of our favorite winter stews is this one https://passthesushi.com/slow-cooker-loaded-bratwurst-stew/<br /><br />Do you think it would be safe to adapt for canning? I'm thinking the cabbage could go into the jar as it does in the unstuffed cabbage roll soup recipe, and everything else would get enough of a simmer on the stovetop to start the potatoes cooking. Then, into the canner for the same 90 minutes/quarts pressure setting as all of the other soup recipes that contain meats. Thoughts?<br /><br />I only started canning about a month ago, and love your recipes - thank you so much for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00775383573372362555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-68315354627502591612015-11-17T19:30:11.884-05:002015-11-17T19:30:11.884-05:00Yum!

I would normally poach them in beer first before grilling so I was wondering what you thought of poaching them in the beer before putting in the jar and then adding the beer to the jars to enhance the flavor. When I open the jar I would be able to pull them out and brown on a grill I would think. I would really like your opinion on this. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02129387258867918893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-86072191609123967562015-09-22T19:01:15.666-04:002015-09-22T19:01:15.666-04:00Pamela several questions how do you do your cheese...Pamela several questions how do you do your cheese i have seen some on line in video.

Did you add salt. I do to the chicken. Also, for ground sausage, do you brown it first like hamburger? Then would you add water for the ground sausage, or do it dry like the raw links?

Those are the times my guide recommends. I've always wondered if it made any difference, beside the time frame. Love your site...planning on doing tons of canning this year! You have helped me with all the different things you can. Thanks for all your posts and time!I'm familiar with canning, but only did green beans, pizza sauce, tomatoes, and peaches.

The only thing I can think of is maybe there was greasy residue from the bacon or brats on the jar rims? It's a good idea to wipe the jar rims with a cloth dipped in a little vinegar to cut the grease. Or it could be faulty lids, which wouldn't be your fault at all. Hope this helps. ~~GrannyPamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199962609516013218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-57206751228170694672012-05-29T00:40:13.288-04:002012-05-29T00:40:13.288-04:00Ok... had/have a bit of a problem... my canned bac...Ok... had/have a bit of a problem... my canned bacon didnt seal, i did everthing i saw read etc... my? is, does too high a pressure while canning cause jars not to seal?

I just got the presto but really wish I had ordered the AA from Amazon the larger one is only 20.00 more and I could do water bath canning without having to buy another pot to do so. I would have to send my presto back to Amazon. I do not have a daughter, two sons though I do not know if they will can after I'm not around. But hopefully they will marry wives that do. I can hope.

Second, I have an All American canner 15.5 quart, which I LOVE. I've used the Presto canner in the past and it's a good canner as well. As a matter of fact, last year I bought my daughter a Presto canner for her birthday (the All-American is expensive and I couldn't quite afford one for her gift). ~~GrannyPamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199962609516013218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-82536079293245014152012-05-27T05:51:39.998-04:002012-05-27T05:51:39.998-04:00I just purchased the presto pressure canner and I ...I just purchased the presto pressure canner and I think I should have ordered the all american one.

I think if they were covered with liquid, they would be a little more mushy, but would still hold up well, the taste, I'm guessing would be similar to the difference in grilling hot dogs on a grill or boiling them up in water... both good, but I like 'em on the grill better... that's the best way I can compare, hope it helps? ~~GrannyPamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199962609516013218noreply@blogger.com
