MmmmMmmm Good!



I've been making up more baby food for Isaiah.  Here, I've canned some Pears and some Plumbs.  I only can fruit purees.  With Balian, I wanted to do veggies.  However, the only way you can safely can veggies is with a pressure canner...and the pressure canner instructions specifically said NOT to do purees.  So...I gave up.  Botulism is not something I want to mess with.  So after steaming and pureeing, I can the fruit (high-acid) foods using the boiling bath method, and freeze the veggies in babycubes then separate into ziploc bags.  It's worked out pretty good for me.  But there's just something about all those canning jars lined up...makes me happy :)
