I have a deep-rooted connection to preserving food through canning, baking bread from scratch, and indulging in homemade meals and gardening. My passion for these activities knows no bounds. As for the Peanut Butter pie, it holds a special place in my heart as it happens to be my son’s absolute favorite dessert. I reserve the joy of making it exclusively for him during holiday occasions. Needless to say, he will be immensely grateful and delighted! Laughter ensues letmelivebetter explains.

In reply to Kelly Suzanne. Hi Kelly! They do get filled all the way to the top--check out the photos in the blog post above for reference. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

These look lovely, and it’s almost blueberry time. I can’t find the amount of headspace needed—I did see “fill it to the top,” but that’s counter to other canning I do, so I want to be sure. Thanks!

When I came to America I fell in love with two things: quilts and canning. As soon as I could I started with wild berries jellies, graduating to jams then water boil canning and then pressure canning. Nothing equals the feeling of seeing storage shelves filled with all kinds of canned items!! And I also collect quilts from families who (gasp!) throw away beautifully made quilts!

My Aunt started teaching me when I was about 12. I actually think she just wanted help. But wanted to learn, We started withjams and preserves. Apricot, peach, blueberry, blackberry, apple, Marsala wine pear!!!every fruit you name…we canned. Then,we progressed to vegetables…One year we made watermelon pickles in her husband’s mother’s grandmother’s crock! She gave it to me. I treasure it. I wept when she passed. She was like a second Mom. I continued my journey into meats, syrups, and nuts! I just finished chicken stock and black-eyed peas today!!! I love this because any home cook can get delicious fresh home cooked food with a side of satisfaction!!!! Blessings to you and yours!

Hi Regina,

I added it because I love the flavor, but it isn’t at all necessary.

Thanks, Zoë

May I ask why you added lavender? and is it necessary for the taste?

I was watching one of those live Ball tutorial and they said you no longer have to boil the lids to sterilize them. All you do is wash them in hot soapy water. I’m trying it this year. I just got a load of blueberries, I’m going to try this recipe 🙂

In reply to Julie.

Hi Julie,

You can use now or leave it for a couple of weeks, as long as it is in the refrigerator.

Thanks, Zoë
