Never Chance Canning These Items and Why

[Arklatex]

Ill have to check it out. I use lemon juice on my apples and bananas for dehydration too. Is it cheaper than concentrated lemon juice?

Not sure. It comes in a powder form that you mix with water, so it goes a long ways.

Personally, I would add potatoes to the list as well.

A whole big bunch of people were badly sickened over in Lancaster, Ohio, . . . I think 2 years ago.

Lady took her home canned potatoes, . . . cut em up, . . . made potato salad, . . . one person died if I remember correctly.

TV tube personalities then were saying don't can taters, . . . and I could never see a good reason to do it, . . . they keep better other ways.

We never heard more about what actually how things were prepared. Potato salad will spoil very easy outside in the heat even without using home canned potatoes. The media jumped on the home canned idea. I never heard if it was proved for sure except for that it was the potato salad. Could have been an old time recipe where someone used water bath instead of pressure canning.

Mrs Inor has canned potatoes. She cut 'em into cubes and pressure canned them. We only fried them when we ate them. But they were even better than fresh. They were more "potatoey" and fried up real crisp.

I've always had this problem, . . . I like to eat from the can, . . . maybe something to do with C rats 50 years ago, . . . who knows???

Anyway, . . . I can just see me opening up the jar and munching the top two taters, . . . and regretting it for the next 5 days. Had enough of THAT STUFF on the other side of the pond to do me a lifetime.

HAHAHA!!! Okay. I'm sorry. That is just too rich! I cannot help myself. I'm laughing WITH you, not AT you. What? You're not laughing? Well I am laughing enough for the both of us! Never eat from the top of the jar!

Thanks, my friend.
