Hi Achternaam,

Are you still looking for canning lids?

We recently checked Fillmore Container (a Simply Canning sponsor), and they have a few types in stock now! If you need some lids for the upcoming canning season, check them out here. Note: They're in stock at the time of this writing, but you never know...

Pectin, Gelatin, or Clear Jel? - New page! These three different products are used for thickening foods, but in very, very different manners. In this new Canning Chat, I discuss how you use these products, which foods they go with, and the proper ways to use them in your kitchen.

Learn about the Pectin, Gelatin, & Clear Jel here.

Canning Tomatoes: Raw Pack - Page recently updated. When you're canning tomatoes, you can process them in a water bath or pressure canner. Instructions for BOTH included on this page.

Dill Pickles - Page recently updated. Years ago, I made dill pickles using the pickle recipe from the Ball Blue Book. They were tasty, but soft and soggy. My family resisted eating them, and the jars were a year and a half old. They were not spoiled, and I could have saved them longer, but I realized they were never going to be eaten. So I threw them out. I vowed to NEVER make pickles again, until I discovered these tricks to keep dill pickles crisp.

Dandelion Jelly - Dandelion jelly was a fun project to try out. I was a little leery as to how it would taste, so I only made one batch the first time. I didn’t want to use all that sugar and find we really didn’t like it. I had no reason to fear. It is delicious!
