Toxic Sludge

[olfart]

While digging around in the upper kitchen cabinets, I came across 14 pint jars of miscellaneous pickled cucumbers, peppers and relish sludge from 2010 - 2012. I flushed the contents down the garbage disposal with LOTS of water. The empty jars are now in the dishwasher. I hope that sludge doesn't eat through the drain pipe!

In a word, horrific! It had eaten into the metal lids, almost escaped.

You haven't priced pint canning jars lately, or you don't do any canning.

Was the stuff past the expiration date? I thought "home canned" was good for 30 years. That's what the 'Survival Experts' posted on YouTube -- on Intermet gotta' be true.

We're eating green beans and blackeyed peas from 2015, and they're still fine. Not too sure about the 30 year claims.

On second thought, all of the pickled sludge was 'waterbath' canned. The beans and peas were pressure canned. That would make a big difference in the longevity, I'm sure.
