Default Just found a pint of salsa I canned in '92

It doesn't look very appetizing, but it's not spoiled either. That was
back before I had a good recipe, too. Think I'll sniff it when I open
it, then dump it out. I've got plenty of jars of good stuff from 2
years ago.

I need to rotate my shelves more often.

We finished up the pear sauce put up in fall 2011 by December 2014, just
made it in time, was still delicious. 1992? You're scaring me now Bob.

When my favorite aunt passed I helped clean out her sixty-year old
house, still had some preserves in the walk-in pantry from the fifties.
Really gross looking stuff. I did manage to salvage the jars though, had
to put them through the dishwasher twice. This was in the early seventies.

I wouldn't even sniff the stuff. <G>

I have pickles that will expire in mid-2015 so am eating them up quick
as I can. Unfortunately that was the year we had a bumper crop of
cauliflower so I have a lot of pickled cauliflower.

George, fearing a possible hard freeze by Thursday night and my pear
tree is blooming.
