Cast iron stomach I guess... If you don't believe me, ask the General. We went to the Manannah bar and I ordered the "inferno burger", the owner kept asking me if I needed some water to wash it down and I asked him if he had some Tabasco cause his burger was a little bland....

Those peppers go in whole HD, or do you cut em up? The hottest i grew this year were serranos,  i know that's not very..

I cut them in half (length wise)....cause the heat is in the seeds and membrane....if you leave them whole, you don't get the "full" effect.....

I got some Reaper's for the next batch....those, will melt yur face off....

I can handle some jalapenos but not that other stuff.  Actually I would like to try them.  But man that sounds hot!!!   I did 7 qts with 1 1/2 jalapeno in each one and that is living on the edge here.  LOL I did three qts of an easy refrigerator pickles yesterday.  They are great!  LOL  I couldn't wait 24 hours.  You layer onions and sliced cukes.  Easy as can be.

I'll hafta pick up some hot peppers, mark the lid " not for the weak" lol. That's all we've been doing is fridge pickles,  they don't stand a chance fer 2 months anyway..

The "really hot" ones (not really to me) we like in our bloodies LPS....kinda (as Emerald would say) kicks er up a knotch! 

I have noticed that you boys are really "canning" pickles, I do a hot bath just to seal. They last a year or so in the cooler, but most times they are eaten before they will go bad. Mine, can be eaten the next day, but are better in about a week or so afterwards of "canning"....like Glenn say's...they gotta meld.....(oh....did I say that out loud? I agree with a Smurf  )

Well it is get jars hot.  Fill with pickles, dill, garlic, peppers in some, etc.  Put lids on and put in the big pot with the can lifter wire frame thing and boil for 20 minutes.

[glenn57]

[LPS]

Isn't that what you are talking HD?

I don't boil for 20 minutes, my jars cool down in hot water.

did you 3 qts of pickled green beans last nite, got 6 total now. nice goodies for the dead of winter!!!!!!!!

Glenn, I hope you got your tetanus shot before you started canning?

just so you guys know when I went to fleet farm yesterday I was going to buy a bunch of new things just to satisfy you'll. But like everything else they didn't have any. all kinds of jars, no rings, no kids.

In today's paper, there ad had them for 2.69. what a joke.

[Bobberineyes]

I haven't walked in one in months,  just cuz of that!! Talked to a manager and he didn't seem to care, so I said see ya!!

[mike89]

yea flat farm here is the same, empty...

[Gunner55]

Ever since KKR bought out the Mills family all of FF have empty shelves, even the ones down here.

[LPS]

What a shame.  Used to love going there.

[Gunner55]

What a shame.  Used to love going there.

Yeah, me to. It must be some sort of new corporate strategy to not have so much inventory in the stores/warehouses. I don't think the managers would like it at all as it would cut into their bonuses, so I doubt it's their idea.

[mike89]

3rd that......

[glenn57]

Makes me want to go there extra hassle and trouble to drive all the way at over to the east side of st cloud. Runnings opened up a store in the old Shopko building.

[KEN W]

Have you guys tried Runnings?

[Bobberineyes]

I'm gonna start Ken. Even when I accompany the wife to target or Walmart I say look, even these places are fully stocked on canning supplies,  wiper blades, oil you name it. Pretty sad. Good thing Sheels sporting goods is in town now..

[glenn57]

Have you guys tried Runnings?

not yet but I will be 

[mike89]

Have you guys tried Runnings?

none close to me...

[LPS]

I have always liked Runnings.  Good prices and good people.

[glenn57]

Just left L & M. No kids and no idea when they'll get more.

[HD]

Wow...I was just at fleet farm in Cambridge last week and bought lids and rings. I have enough now for what I gotta do. Must be cause of the pandemic that everyone's hording stuff? The only thing I didn't find was some seed tape that I like to use....oh well...
