Thank you tree guy, and Ken. Yes, I suppose I was using pine to describe all conifers. Tells you what I know about conifers, huh? Funny though..once upon a time I knew the difference. We had a lovely blue spruce in the yard of one of our homes and I loved how it's leaves were so soft. So I should have thought spruce on this little one. Tree Guy...I'll show this to my husband to convince him to get to work on that stump. Wish he'd left more to latch onto though. Thanks again all.

I just went to the link you posted above, clicked on the play arrow in the center of the pic. It took me to the video, clicked Play again an it played and they were just filling jars - and making it look complicated in the process - it isn't neurosurgery after all.. It was nothing special - mostly banter back and forth between the guy filling the jars and the girl putting them into the canner. They were short when it came to filling the jars so made point of talking about how you don't process the jar left over that has too much headspace. But that you can....freeze it or put it in the fridge. Also talked about how you add extra seasonings or beans or whatever you want for personal taste AFTER you open the jars. Didn't watch it all as lots of it was "sell our stuff" info - see our canning funnel, see our hot jar holder, here's how you use our combo lid magnet and headspace measuring tool, see our lid wrench, our Ball jar lifters, etc. As to recipe - can't say except she mentioned it was a no beans recipe and beans are added at serving time.
