The way this is looking is it will be a canning class with info/show and tell on the Mylar. I think we will be setting up a date in the next month or so to do a mylar party.

Stay tuned. At the very least I will let ya know next time I am doing a batch and we can work it so you could come down and learn. My canning goes in spurts. meat is done when the sales are and things like jams and green beans are normally in July/Aug.

Should we bring items to mylar then?

Bring them but I do not believe we have enough stuff to do a set of o2 absorbers. I think after tomorrow then we will have enough people to set a date in late feb or march to use a package of them. If we do then it is not a problem. We may have a work around so do bring your items.

I thought we had a good time today. Had 4 people show up.

I will start another thread soon for a Mylar date. Hope everyone had a good time.

I had a great time and found it to be exceptionally informative. Looking forward to attending the mylar class.

I got home and called my best friend and spoke with his wife for a few minutes. She does water bath canning and told me she wished her hubby had told her about this (he's not on the site but knew I was coming today) as she would have liked to have come too. She said she wants to learn how to pressure can but (thanks to her mom & grandma scaring her about pressure canning "blow ups") she is afraid to get started.

I told her that, barring another opportunity to attend one of Jerry's classes, I'd show her what I learned - if she bought her own gear.

It was also great to meet all of todays attendees (out of respect for your privacy, I won't call you out - but you could always post a response).

ETA: Jerry - If you would be so kind, please post your roll recipe in the recipe thread - those were delicious!
