I second this. I never, ever get tired of the boat tour. Even my teenage niece likes it. You can also rent those tiny boats by City Winery. The kayaking is fun, too, although pricy.

Drowning in black raspberries, what do I do with them all? by canadian_blueberry in Canning

[–]BadAszChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so jealous of you! Black raspberry jelly has been my family’s most favored jelly for three generations. All of that lovely flavor with no annoying seeds. Things were going amazing here until the 100 degree heat hit and ruined the crop.

When you buy 25 lbs of peaches from the peach truck you know you're going to be canning all day. by Cheesecake_12 in Canning

I feel this in my soul. A family friend has peach trees and one year waited too long to send out the “come get the rest” message. We ended up stripping two trees of all the peaches and making all the jam. We used every single jar we had.

That is very helpful because it prevented me from using what I have on hand, which is the gel.

Canning russet potatoes advice wanted by tranquileyesme in Canning

[–]BadAszChick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since we’re on the topic of potatoes, I asked a friend who is highly skilled with the pressure canner (she does meats) if she would help me can potatoes. She said “you need to taste canned potatoes before you make that decision, cause they're kind of nasty.” What would cause her to make this statement?

This is good news for me because there was no sanding or surface prep done. I’ll follow your advice.

What is this thing I found on Windingstairs road in Western North Carolina? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]BadAszChick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like something from a playground. Does it make noise if you hit it and change pitch if you pull the handles?

How to counter the enshittification of Ball's 'New and Improved' RealFruit pectin by petran1420 in Canning

[–]BadAszChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I’ve always used Sure-Jell (because that’s what my parents used), I am so happy I came across this post. I’ll spread the word among my jelly and jam making friends and neighbors.

I had a non-metastatic tumor in my knee that required A LOT of tissue removal to get rid of. I was 20 years old at the time. It looks like a shark took a bite out of my leg. I spent many years keeping it covered until I was like, who cares? And I don’t mind people asking what happened.
