Do you have the ball blue book of canning? It really is a HUGE help! Will
give times on how long to can low acid foods.
They reccomend that you set your time, once the canner has come up to
pressure, to the ingredient that has the longest canning time.

There are also shortcuts~ I can my dry beans raw~ I put some in, cover with
boiling water and pressure can for 90 min!

Canning items with flour is NOT recommended~ It will break down and loose
all thickening power. Add your roux when you are ready to eat the gumbo~ =)

There is a type of Clear Jel that you can use to thicken gravy and things
like that, but its going to give a VERY DIFFERENT texture.

but really~ get a ball blue book... it has sooooo much info!
