Small amount of liquid loss is not actually a loss. Reason for the liquid loss is I did use some dried veggies in the mix and believe it is why the level is lower. Also know this to be true because when I pulled the jars from the canner ( 12 hours before this pic was taken) when they were finished there was no liquid loss. Wish now I had taken pictures of them then. Darn it.
I just want to take a moment and say thanks to Claudia who gifted me with these liter Mason jars. "A big thank you Claudia!"
My DH says I should change the name of this blog to something along the line of .....
Saving seeds and onward. Why? It's because I have tried to do just that. I started saving seeds for the veggie garden a couple of years ago. Then once the garden has produced it's harvest, I take the harvest and can it. Then cook some mighty delicious meals (if I must say so myself) from what comes from canning stock pile.
Just a thought.
