We are seniors, diabetics and we grow our own crops. Since I have a heart problem my husband helps with most of the canning these days and he does a little canning on his own - it's a hobby. He's a retired cook and baker. He's always looking for canning recipes. We cook together and we love your website and the Lord. I do a lot of bread making. Your website was a great find. We both signed up his email and mine: just in case one email goes down. We've been reading one other's mail to one another most of our lives, due to a visual impairment. We wanted you to get credit for your recipes and website so we subscribed both of us at my husband's request - we thought it would work in your favor. God bless you and beautiful family. -- ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-12663242893140214692016-02-06T07:41:17.365-05:002016-02-06T07:41:17.365-05:00Sugar may be necessary for some things but I have ...Sugar may be necessary for some things but I have successfully used stevia for canning fruits such as peaches and pears.

Some steviaproducts are mixed with 90-95% inulin, and some stevia products are almost 100% pure steviol glycosides (the active compound). <br /><br />The pure stevia are aprox. 250-300 times more sweet than sugar. The "cheap"/dilluted products are usually 10-20 times more sweet than sugar. <br /><br />I have a shaker on my table filled with 95% inulin and 5% pure stevia (98% steviol glycosides). It can (almost) be used as sugar. The inulin are a healthbonus Inulin can be bought as a tasteless, white powder. It is naturally in large quanteties in a few veggetables. Most Norwegians (like me), and probably most Americans, don't get enough inulin.<br /><br />Sugar works as a preservative because it "binds up" a lot of the oxygen, leaving very litle left for the bacterias. Sugar doesn't kill them. When you leave out the sugar, you need more vinegar and/or sugar, especially if you want (very) long shelf life. I'm not afraid of sodium benzoate (E211), especially not when used only in the brine (which I don't consume). Using sodium benzoate in soft drinks is maybe another story.Arnstein Bjonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959898077792964141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-76510427812844981642015-09-18T15:33:18.699-04:002015-09-18T15:33:18.699-04:00I have never tried stevia for beets.
