Good morning guys, and thanks for coming in again. We’d like to welcome you to Coverin’ the Bases! I hope this finds everyone well, and ready to start of what looks to be a beautiful day!
Right off the bat this morning I’d like to address an issue that has come up, over the last couple of days. This is the topic of canning your own butter.
This is a topic that many say can’t be done safely, then again you have just as many saying it can be done safely, and I have to say that I fall on the yes, I believe it can be done safely side of the fence.
I feel, and this is my opinion, there are risks in almost anything you do, whether it be riding a bicycle, shooting a gun, even crossing a street. All can be threatening in some form, if you’re not careful, and paying attention to what you’re doing.
This also is the case in home canning your food, freezing your food, even cooking your food.
Canning peas for instance, Deb and I do this ALL the time. It works for us, and I’ve said in earlier issues that what works for us, in fact, may NOT work for you.
Back to peas as an example. IF your jars are not sterile, IF your lids are not sterile, IF you didn’t wipe down the rims prior to sealing your jars, and IF you didn’t cook them the proper time required, could you have problems down the road, yes you surely may!
You have to do what is required from a safety standpoint, or you’re asking for trouble, that’s a given in regards to anything you do, not just food preservation.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
