    People sell boiled peanuts on roadsides down here. Now you made me want some!:p Wish they'd last I could send you some. Maybe you can order some online?

    Agree. It's my favorite.

    Usually we go to visit my sister in July/August and bring home a bunch, as well as all kinds of other stuff she loads us down with. Unfortunately I haven't been able to travel this summer so I'll just have to do without. :(

    We have plenty of jars about 200 or more but the lids are not easy to get here.Can't reuse jars if you don't have lids. We have enough to can the beans and meat if we can afford to buy the meat its so high here. We can chicken bones for our dog they come out so soft and easy to chew for our old dog.

    I’ve never canned meat or veggies

    Last seasons Apricots , I have about 60 of the pint size jar with is my preferred size
    that I can’t get ..or can’t get any of the flat disc lid
    We use a pressure canner out in the shed…….. less mess inside .,mind you i prepare them inside and take out to shed for processing

    I bought a box of pears last summer and used a few jars I was given called Weck brand but we can’t get the rubber seals for them either

    I haven't been to GA since last August, so almost a year. :( My stupid cancer has put a damper on things I'd rather be doing this year.

    we don't like to canmeat unless it at least 65lb.s and it cost too much now,it would be several hundred dollars to can.Except chicken but we won't use our lids for dog food.
