After washing them thoroughly put the jars in the oven on a cookie sheet right side up. Turn on the oven to 300F and let them sit there for 15 minutes, that will sterilize them. Leave them in the oven to cool long enough so that you can handle them, then fill them and process as usual. You can also leave them there until whenever you need them a little later, you do not have to use them immediately but soon. It did not say to use the oven to process them. segelkatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411146090407530531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-17156236472454717382019-03-16T10:08:27.466-07:002019-03-16T10:08:27.466-07:00The pickled cabbage is so good!

Well, it's been about 30 days and 4 out of 8 jars is already gone!<br /><br />I am right now canning another batch. This time I will loosen up on the pack. <br /><br />Again, Really good recipe!

Botulism isn't just a 'bad case of food poisoning' like I always thought! And you CANNOT see, smell or taste it. Just be safe with your canning methods. <br /><br />Botulism<br /><br />Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by a bacterium which occurs in soil. It produces a toxin that affects your nerves. Foodborne botulism comes from eating foods contaminated with the toxin.<br /><br />Sources •Infants: Honey, home-canned vegetables and fruits, corn syrup<br />•Children and adults: Home-canned foods with a low acid content, improperly canned commercial foods, home-canned or fermented fish, herb-infused oils, baked potatoes in aluminum foil, cheese sauce, bottled garlic, foods held warm for extended periods of time<br /> <br />Incubation Period •Infants: 3-30 days<br />•Children and adults: 12-72 hours<br /> <br />Symptoms •Infants: Lethargy, weakness, poor feeding, constipation, poor head control, poor gag and sucking reflex<br />•Children and adults: Double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth and muscle weakness<br /> <br />Duration of Illness Variable <br />What Do I Do? Botulism is a medical emergency. If you have symptoms of botulism, contact your doctor immediately. <br /><br />How Do I Prevent It?<br /> •Be very careful when canning foods at home<br />•Do not let babies eat honey<br />•Get prompt medical care for infected wounds<br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-13836600550237743372016-10-21T07:27:05.778-07:002016-10-21T07:27:05.778-07:00Yes.. you must ALWAYS adjust for altitude.. :)

Yes, your great-grandmother did not have a pressure canner and lived to tell the tale but there were lots of factors involved that do not exist today. You MUST pressure can. I'm sorry to be so bold here, but I read it on every post. Someone is always saying they have water bathed for hours and it should be fine. It is not.

We love cabbage, but cannot stand sourkraut. My family either boils cabbage and spoons it, with it's juice, over cornbread or fries it in a skillet with just enough butter/bacon fat to keep it from sticking, with slices of smoked sausage. We make cornbread muffins to go with the fried cabbage. A little bit of of cabbage can brown up using the frying method, it doesn't hurt it a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-48897582566344975062015-12-29T19:29:00.866-08:002015-12-29T19:29:00.866-08:00Does it come out super sweet with so much sugar?

Cabbages keep very well under those conditions. Being able to simply put cabbages on a shelf, or pack carrots, beets and turnips in sand or put potatoes in a bin, meant that the fall harvest was easier (than canning everything) and fresh vegetables were available throughout the winter. I put in a huge garden and have a root cellar. I pickle and can vegetables that don't keep eg tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers but the rest go into the root cellar.
