Hi!
    The canning of Pumpkin puree also set off my alarms!  THEY say either
can in chunks or freeze the puree, so i also stopped canning this a
couple decades ago.  It is the density, not the ph, that makes it heat
inconsistantly inside.  Pressure can all low acid or low sugar foods.

     Since an pal gave me a big dehydrator, i have a whole set of pantry
shelves devoted tojars of this or thats dried - and it adds splendid
color and taste to so many dishes.  We can have a little of many things
ready to throw into the soup or stew.  I think i am going to build a
solar dehydrator that is casket sized, to save alot of energy before
long.  I'd like my farm products to say that we can do many more things
in a greener fashion!
