new toy



under pressure!

I'd like to welcome the newest member of Smitty's kitchen...the Fagor Pressure cooker/canner. Hub's saw this online and really wanted to get it...he remembers his father using a pressure cooker and really liked the idea of trying our hand at canning...(the man would have us fill our pantry and our bellies with canned salsas!)  I am kind of nervous...I am unfamiliar with pressure cooking and can't help but invision our kitchen covered in an explosion of hot food...but have to admit browsing the web for recipes I am excited about the idea that things that take hours to cook can cook with the same results in less than an hour...Artichokes done in 10 minutes! Sign me up sister.  The canning aspect makes me remember summers on my aunt's farm slicing millions of sweet apricots for her preserves...look out friends...Jam's and Jellies from mama Jules coming to you from sunny socal for christmas! ;)

First few things I'd like to try with Fagor is this and canning that!
