    The very thought of old bananas packed in sugary syrup makes me want to throw up in my mouth 🤢

    Today I learned that people do canning at home without a proper pressure cooker

      People have been doing hot water bath canning at home for well over a century. It works great for acidic foods like tomatoes or pickled vegetables. It’s completely safe if you follow the USDA Guide to Home Canning.

        That’s true, I love taking a hot water bath, and it’s been completely safe so far

          Then you are doing it wrong! Follow the guidance, get that water to 100c, or someone eating you will get a food poisoning!

        Water bath canning is so much fun! It names the foods I like, either sugar filled or vinegar filled!
