canning/pickling?

[musky5555]

Can anybody give me step by step instructions how to pickle various foods, such as, eggs, northern pike, etc? Otherwise, point me in the right direction for instructions? I've checked a little on-line, but apparently "grandma's method" isn't safe, and it's hard to find any quality instructions.

Any input would be appreciated...

Musky,

Go with the recipie that was originally posted by coldone. It is a winner for pike, I tried my first batch this year and have a jar and a half left. The pickling solution tastes just like the stuff you get in the store bought pickled herring, sweet, sour, tangy and all that good stuff. Be sure to put a bunch of onion chunks in with each jar, they go really good with the fish! I have not turned my left over pickling solution into pickled eggs yet but I am getting close!

Ball (the canning jar company) also makes a great canning cookbook that gives step by step instructions. I know you can get them at Fleet Farm but I bet other places have them too

Yep, the book by Ball called the Complete Book of Home Preserving is awesome. My dad got it for christmas and it is full of info and 400 recipes...

Windy, I don't see a recipe from coldone. Do have it or a link to it? Or are you referring to the link that hogs2222 posted?

In addition to the Ball Blue Book, the U of Minnesota extension web site has a bunch of information on home canning.
