Sterilizing Kilner jars

Capitals are regarded as shouting. Perhaps you can set your keyboard to whispering. Only joking. But can I bottle......... Joking again. God help me, I am seriously ****ed off with the trolls and just plain idiots who keep ignoring the simple fact that the vegetables you want to bottle are non-acid :-( I don't know exactly what the chances are of a non-gassy, non-tainting botulinus infection are, but the consequences of one are likely to be death for anyone eating the result. If I were bottling vegetables, I would do as we did in the UK in the 1950s and use pressure. Fruit isn't a problem, and you don't need pressure. There were good reasons that most people in the UK up to the 1950s used bottling only for fruit, and preserved vegetables by salting, drying etc. Pressure bottling is a pain to do, and constrains the amounts you do and size of bottles. But it's your life .... Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
