Defeated

I have given up on the canning for now, I guess my freezer will have to remain full of blueberries and I will start adding tomatoes until I run out of room : )

I went to Walmart this morning and bought a canning pot, jar rack, jars, and all the utensils I need. When I got home I read the instructions and found I couldn't use the pot on my glass top stove. But reading a canning website I found I discovered that propane stoves actually work better then kitchen stoves. I have a propane burner on our grill- the pot exceeds the weight limit!

We have 2 camp stoves. One is single burner that sits on top of the propane canister- I don't think that will work. The other is a dual burner and should work. However, there is no fuel for it, I can't find the directions for it, and I am not sure when the last time we used it was.

I am hoping the next time my in laws come my FIL can help me figure out a way to do this.

Off to peel and freeze tomatoes and sort and freeze the blueberries.
