They looked fine but I didn't open and try any of them. Of what we did use and feed to Brock (and my daughter), everything kept and it kept well. Cooking the vegetables first and then canning them with hot water worked really well. The vegetables were really soft so all I had to do was drain the water and mash the veggies up; which was easily done with a baby spoon.<br /><br />The only thing that did not turn out real well was the plum puree. It was entirely too tart.<br /><br />Everything we did in terms of processing times, etc. we referenced from the Ball canning book. It says not to can fruit puree because processing times haven't been properly determined. So it hasn't been deemed a safe process. <br /><br />I know you don't want to freeze anything, but we even pureed some vegetables, poured them into ice cube trays, froze them, them vacuum packed them into small serving size pouches. This was so convenient. <br /><br />Good luck!Larissa:https://www.blogger.com/profile/06014701442786991552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702995628149978249.post-35547784820637965442012-04-03T13:19:15.081-04:002012-04-03T13:19:15.081-04:00I am looking into canning baby food not freezing. ...I am looking into canning baby food not freezing. I am growing most of it myself, but my baby isn't due till May and won't be eating solids till around fall, but I don't want to loose the peas, green beans and other early spring/summer produce. How did you canning turn out. You used the boiling method. Did the low acid foods keep well. Were there any issues? I have a pressure canner and intend on using that method.

I kept reading it was unsafe but i wasn't sure if it was one of those "studies" sponsored by the opposing side. Do you think it will be safe if I only intend on canning them for 2 weeks time or possible less?.::Tuttie::.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16998039088396426418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702995628149978249.post-40841198003285454212009-08-09T15:49:07.932-04:002009-08-09T15:49:07.932-04:00Hello!

I am in the midst of canning tonnes of fruit (peaches, apricots, plums, etc)..and am wondering if you have any tips for canning purees? I cannot for the life of me find any processing times or tips on canning fruit puree - everything is either jams, whole fruit, pieces, etc. <br /><br />Any help you can offer?<br /><br />Les<br />paella_@hotmail.comLeslienoreply@blogger.com
