Al,
ReplyDeleteI am new at this whole canning hobby and I have a question about bottling carrots. I followed the instructions in the Ball Blue Book and everything seemed fine until I pulled the bottles out of the pressure cooker. The bottles that were filled with carrots and water leaving 1" of head space were now only half full of water. Thinking I must have done something wrong I attempted it again with the same result. Am I doing something wrong or is this a normal thing with a pressure cooker.
Also several years ago, I emailed you about pickling eggs. You send me a recipe that you have came up with. At the time that you sent it to me, you had not tested the eggs outside of the fridge. I am wondering how the eggs handled being on the shelf without refrigeration?
