I know you will really enjoy hosting this thread there so many good and helpful FReepers that will help out and respond to others that you can’t get to if you don’t have the time. I have always enjoyed reading and watching how the thread just evolves on its own and going places you will never expect a gardening thread to go. A FReeper will mention something that inspires or jogs the memory of another FReeper to remember something about an Opera House or Steam Engines or Beer or Wine or a Recipe or just anything. The thread can wander and it is absolutely fun.

Have a good time! Oh, and do let me know when the thread reaches the 500 mark. I think it is close to being one of the largest ping lists on FR.

It is great when the thread turns into a food discussion ... which is natural for a bunch of folks growing yummy things!

Our farm chemical rep just dropped off 5 lbs. of cracked pecans and 25 lbs. of satsumas. Just when I think that I'm done canning for the year, it is satsuma marmalade time! And a fresh pecan pie tomorrow.

I stirred-up a question in my own head last night. Prepared a big pot of curried butternut squash bisque and was putting away the leftovers, and I wondered if I could pressure can the bisque since it is a labor-intensive meal. Normally, this would not present a question, but I prepared the bisque from some butternut squash that I had canned last fall.

Bottom line: is it okay to can a soup made from a vegetable that was canned? I don't see why not, but I look forward to finding the answer.
