[@notthereyethomestead8413]

Instead of the pickle crisp, you can use a raw grape leaf, bay leaves or oak leaves for the tannin to keep the veggies crisp. I will not touch the white vinegar since I found out that it comes from gmo corn and I react to that product, which is also not healthy for us! Thank you for all of your information in this video.

What type of electrical canner do you use?

Hi Grady, In the video, I am using my stovetop canner but my electric canner is made by Ball. You can watch the unboxing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6LVgGl7hJJ9mNk Love, Mary

[@erainasmith2532]

Hi Mary, thank you for sharing this video. I hoping that you might have a quick moment to answer this question regarding lids since you mentioned it in this video. I purchased a case of Ball jars and to my surprise a few of the lids were stuck to the jars. In this case are the lids considered used and not useable for canning? Thank you so much for this wonderful channel. I'll see you in the next video.

[@MarysNest]

Hi Eraina, Great question! But it's a tough one to answer. You have to inspect the rubber seal on the lid. If it looks as though it has not been damaged, you may want to try and use it to can. But there is always the chance that it won't seal. In that case you would have to refrigerate your jar. Wish I had a better answer. Love, Mary

[@erainasmith2532]

Hi Mary thank you so much for your answer. Wishing you a safe and blessed day.

[@sonyiadouglas1671]

Your cloth for resting hot jars is very pretty, but I do a lot of canning and some jars can come out pretty messy/sticky/greasy. I use a double layer of cardboard from broken down boxes, which I think all of us get plenty of these days. They can be reused for some time and then burned in the wood stove or bbq. I keep a bunch in a space between a shelf and the wall of my pantry.

I need a portable cooktop, and there's so many out there, so I thought I would ask about yours! Thank you!

Good morning Mary! So you do not need the citric acid along with the salt?? Have a beautiful blessed day!!

[@MarysNest]

Hi Ronni, Because of all the vinegar, you do not need to add the citric acid. But if you are water bath canning them, you can add the "Pickle Crisp" (calcium chloride), if you want. Love, Mary

[@ginakendrick2581]

OK I’m so I’m really glad I saw this because I ran out of white vinegar couple weeks ago when I was doing my corn relish and I used some of my homemade apple cider vinegar which is really strong so I actually even diluted that vinegar so now I’m concerned, even though there’s probably was 2 cups of white vinegar to 1 cup of my vinegar. I was sort of trying to help myself out because I was out of white vinegar when I made my corn relish now I’m not sure which of the 30 jars has that vinegar and I hope to God I don’t make us sick, the recipe in corn relish calls for pure vinegar. I did not add a war any water to that but when I made my apple cider vinegar last year, it was so strong that I did add water to that. I tested it with a pH and the pH was really really low below three so I know that’s not the same as, PH is not the same as acidity, but I didn’t know what else to do. Sorry to be so wordy, but do you have any answers for me like I said if I added a little bit of my own homemade apple cider vinegar to regular 5% acidity white vinegar when I made my corn relish.

I'm growing two varieties of green beans now in my container garden on my deck. One is a standard bush green bean and the other is Dragon Tongue. I don't can, but would like to try just putting them in the fridge. Do you think the Dragon Tongue would work as well as the regular green bean? Also, how long can you keep them in the fridge before they go bad?

[@MarysNest]

Hi Betsy, I am not familiar with the Dragon Tongue green bean but you could experiment with some. Just pickled and then refrigerated, green beans can last about 3 months for their best quality. They don't go bad, per se, but after about 3 months they may start to become less crisp. Love, Mary

[@betsylusby8924]

@@MarysNest Thanks Mary. I'll give it a try when I start harvesting the Dragon Tongue. From what I've read, they are similar to a green been. They are a pale green/yellow with purple markings. Apparently when they are cooked, the purple goes away. I did try your refrigerator pickled beets earlier this year. They were great, and my parents loved them.

[@bjkandrews4806]

Hi Mary, would a 3 bean salad be made the same way?

Great question. Three bean salad tends to be sweeter, so when you make your brine, you would want to add 2 tablespoon of sugar. If you don't mind a slightly darker brine, you can use whole sugar such as sucanat. Love, Mary

[@MarysNest]

@@JP-np6rp - That”s a great question. I don’t have the newer edition of the Ball Book on Preserving but I do like the older edition. Yes, both books are different and it depends on how many canning recipes you want/need. For example, the older book has basic Strawberry Jam but the newer book has fancier jams. The older book has info on no pectin jams…old-fashioned jams while the newer one doesn’t. But the newer book has lots more pictures. So it is nice to have both.

I am from India. I would like to ask you, what is the objective behind your pickling of various edible objects (vegetables, fruits, eggs etc.)? Is it just preservation for when these objects are out of season? I ask because I am confused. As I said, I am an Indian, and in India we pickle various vegetables and fruits to turn into an additional side dish, very tasty, and which take the process of eating food to an entirely different level.
