Any Canners out there?

Bajatripper - 10-10-2011 at 01:59 PM

I'm looking for a Nomad living in the La Paz area who cans fruit. I've got a bunch of little boxes of pectin, which are quite OLD, that I want to get rid of. If they are of use to anyone, U2U me so we can make arrangements for you to come and git 'em.

And if these things have a shelf life and are of no more use to anyone, also please U2U me so I can throw them out.

There are also about five little boxes of those lids used in canning, and a block of wax.

This offer is open to anyone with the exception of Bajalera, whose pectin it is that I want to get rid of.

If these things are good for only three years of life, then I must have some collectables on my hands! Perhaps I should contact the Smithsonian. :lol:

Bajatripper...if the dry boxes of pectin are 'Pomona' brand...they will keep indefinetely ..if not opened yet.

Any others..dumpster time.

I got this info from the greatest baker, cook, and canner in the world.


p.s. edit: Does anybody recall the 'Great Fish- Canning Caper' at the Oasis community in Mulege many years ago??

No, I have not heard about this. Now would be a good time. Wait, let me get a beer first, ok, start.

I might have to have some cuba libras first; then we'll see how the sparks fly! I feel a storm coming on....
