Thanks everyone! gadzooks, do you ever add sugar to your kraut? When I cook kraut I always add sugar & wonder if it would be ok to add it during fermentation. Thanks.

I don't really want to make a lot of kraut I just mostly want to experiment. After much Google searching I did find a few recipes that added caraway seed, juniper berries & even an apple during the fermentation process. Thanks for your reply.

I have a few heads of cabbage in my garden & would like to make kraut. Have any of you got a recipe that has ginger or caraway seed in it? I don't really like kraut but thought if I could spice it up I might like it better. Thanks.

When canning apples what do you do to keep them from turning dark while you are preparing them for canning? I usually add lemon juice to the water but that didn't work the last time I tried it. I don't know what kind of apples I'm using other than they're yellow & tart. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. We have already made pickled okra. I don't like anything pickled but DH does. I like it frozen ok but since having a freezer malfunction & loosing a freezer full of food (more than once over the years) I think i will stay with canning this year. I fry it occ like Uncle Bob...

Do any of you can okra? Is there a recipe that is good for frying? I remember canning some years ago that had vinegar & water in it. I must not have liked it or I would have kept the recipe. What are your opinions on canning okra. Thanks.

sparrowgrass, how long do you process yours in the pressure cooker? Do you use pints or qts? Thanks.

Thanks for help.

Anyone canning pasta sauce? I have tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic from the garden now all I need is a tried & true recipe. Anyone have one to share? Thanks.

I'm still trying to figure out what the big deal is about sterilizing a jar or container. Don't you simply bring a pan or kettle of water to a rolling boil & pour it over the container?

I know Mrs Wages makes a mix for green beans, I want to know if anyone has tried it.

Have any of you used Mrs Wages pickling spices for dilled green beans? Did you like it? Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I added sugar to one batch of dilled green beans & sugar & pickling spices to another batch. I didn't really like either one. Altho I don't like sour pickles I still preferred the original recipe. It was fun experimenting. I think I'll stay with sweet cucumber pickles.

I've made two batches of the dilled pickled green beans & my family loves them. They would not wait 2 weeks to eat them but had to try them immediately. Thanks for the recipes. However, I do not like sour pickles. Have you ever heard of a sweet pickles you can make from green beans? I did a...

Hi, I'm making dilled pickled green beans. It usually happens with pressure canner but my husband processed kraut in water bath & it looks terrible. Some of the jars have half the liquid gone & the kraut was covered when he started. Thanks for your help.

When processing jars in water bath, & pressure cooker, some of the jars loose liquid during the process. I start out with a full jar or up to fill line & when finished processing some maybe 3/4 full of liquid & others still full. I tighten all the rings the same yet some are full & some not...

Thanks for your help. I kept looking at recipes & most everyone used pepper flakes.

The dilled pickled green beans recipe I got here calls for 1 tsp cayenne papper per pint. Is this fresh cayenne? 1 tsp ground dried cayenne seems like a lot of pepper per pint. Thanks.

Thanks mcnerd. That sounds like a recipe my DH will like. I'm also going to make dramaQueen's recipe. Thanks for taking time to reply.

Thanks for the recipe, can't wait to try it. Have you heard of a recipe for pickled beans that is made without vinegar? I understand you make it similar to kraut but I'm afraid to try it without a recipe. You can make them in a crock or in canning jars. Thanks again!

Does anyone make pickled green beans? I would like to make some in canning jars rather than a crock but not sure how to do it. Any advice? Thanks.
