Hi Achternaam,

See the picture below?

This is what you get when you don’t take the time to thin the carrots. Lots of super thin carrots. Still taste good but kind of a pain to peel for canning.

Oh, yes, we eat them with the peels. Just canning projects need to be peeled. I picked out the largest to peel and can, and the rest will be snacked on, frozen, or cooked for supper.


Okay, enough about carrots. Let's talk about canning! :)

Mirro Pressure Canner Page recently updated & now with pictures. The Mirro is another choice for pressure canning. It's not necessarily as common as Presto or All American, but I've heard mixed reviews. Here's what we know about the Mirro.
