Saw the other thread, and just thought I'd post since only an hour ago I got done with my FIRST time canning. Now obviously I've done it before, with mom and granny, but this is my first time in my adult years. Since I'm only 28, it's a little non-typical, as most people my age just have a puzzled look on their face when you get to talking about it. But nonetheless, here is beef stew!
By the way, a question for the gurus... The lids that come on the new jars, are they ok to use? I went ahead and used new ones and put those back in case they are usable.
