Please consult a canning book or a canner's manufacturer for guidelines before "adapting" any recipe. I would also advise to always consult your canner's manufacturer for guidelines before canning anything at all.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266816805551915978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901352933618729952.post-28251828589399277662013-06-13T11:53:05.956-05:002013-06-13T11:53:05.956-05:00This sounds delicious, but I don't have a pres...This sounds delicious, but I don't have a pressure canner.

Personally I wouldn't use them due to what they are made of. We grow our own food so that we know exactly what it is we are eating. Manufactured bouillon cubes are a big no no in our home. Besides all that....I'm not sure how they would cook up during the canning process. You might end up with mostly water and potatoes with a cube in the bottom. On the other hand, you may have come up with a good idea too. I am just not familiar enough with how the cubes cook down to be able to direct you either way. If I were thinking about doing that, I'd use the cubes to cook up the stock first, then use that stock over the potatoes. One great site for all kinds of canning information is pickyourown.org just in case you haven't found it yet.

Stock is pretty expensive and I don't buy a lot of chicken for me to make my own stock. This is my first year of canning anything and I am so excited about it. Have already gotten my water canner and ordered my pressure canner yesterday. Now I just have to buy hundreds of jars. LOL Have been reading everything I can find on canning different foods and I like yours the best for canning potatoes. Just wondering about the bouillon?

That's why commercial canning has so much salt in it; using more salt is cheaper than power needed to run machines longer. As for pre-boiling, some potato varieties hold their shape better. Also anyone reading from different states (or countries), remember your altitude will make your canning times different. I would check with the local extension office, those universities do a lot of testing and it's better to use their recipes exactly.

Last year I dehydrated a bunch and kept the rest in the basement as I used them up through winter. I only canned the small ones so far, so I have more to do once it starts getting really cold out and the outside chores are all done.<br /><br />I also grew sweet taters and can hardly wait to can those and use them for my pies and candied yams for the holidays.<br /><br />Thank you for your post, always good to see what other folks are doing and how they go about it.
