My MIL got me a waterbath canner for xmas and a box of pint jars.
I made a HUGE batch of lentils and ham with the leftover xmas ham. Thought...i'll just can it!
SO i boiled tha jars and rings, after cleaning EVERYTHING with soapy water, and rinsing well...then filled the jars 3/4 full with the wonderful bean soup..kept them covered the whole time with boiling water and processed them for 120 mins just to be SURE...
Today I looked at them in the cabinet...the lits are still popped down, and secure...but the beans and ham have setled and the liquid at the top that was originally clearish is now dark green...
Think it's bad...or just the color of the lentils coming out...I'm afraid to open one. I think i'll let them go a couple months to see if they are actually growing mold...
I'm scurred...
