Please go to the Kitchen Arts webpage to see a short video synopsis of my canning demo. What fun, and thanks to Owen Mack for hosting and for his excellent editing skills! The video can also be found here! (The video will play if you get this post on its own screen by clicking on the title of the post.)
Great video! That little doodad for measuring headspace is something I haven't seen before - I need one in the worst way. All these years I've been eyeballing headspace and hoping I'm right, and there's a tool for it!
ReplyDeleteI don't have one of those doodads either! I must get one! :-) Speaking of pickles...whats your theory on getting the crispest pickles? I've heard about salting them first or soaking them in ice water. Any opinion on this?
ReplyDeleteI have not yet tried using pickling lime which is supposed to make them crisp. For the bread and butter pickles there is a step for soaking in ice water. I guess I haven't really given it a whole lot of thought.
