Oh no, DH is gonna eat it. They are brown and unappetizing looking. They are not dangerous, tho.Originally Posted by Teacher Terry
IL, the extension office says home canned 2 years max. Ick! I'm sure your husband has a rock gut and will be fine.

That is good to inow. I will show him this and let him decide whether he eats it or we throw it.
Apparently botulism is not something you can see or smell... but brown cherries just don't sound right.

Botulism poisoning is incredibly serious and yes I know that you can’t see it or smell it.
But we have been up opening decades old fruit and I have made DH eat it because he will not throw it away so what do we do I mean really if you will not toss it wtf do you do do it
, keep it because it’s pretty? It’s not pretty!
....edited to add...
ok, I pitched one jar. He wont notice that. He will notice more than 1.
I watch the date and if gets close to expiring I take it to the soup kitchen. But my husband knows better then to stock up or I will kill him. We also eat the pantry down twice a year so stop buying for awhile.
Reminds me of when DH and I left the house for a couple of hours and we asked MIL to bake the chicken in the microwave (with the convection oven). Well, convection.. microwave.. it all went over her head an she cooked a chicken on high in the microwave for 2 hours. When we got home it looked like that scene in Christmas Vacation when the turkey explodes.
Being the frugal Scotswoman she was, she tried to eat it and when we tried to stop her, she said in her Glaswegian accent, "Accchhh. There's nothin' wrang wi' it."

Last night at our community garden’s patio party, I brought up to everyone the idea of these vintage cherries. Everyone was horrified to think that DH will eat them. I asked DH if he was going to eat them and he was resolute about eating them —yes he will!
An update on our canned vintage fruit:
Remaining are two jars. DH remains adamant that he will eat them, one from 1998, one from 2003.
I opened the jar of canned apricots.. It was gelatinous on top. DH asked me if I heard the seal break when
I opened it. Since I couldn't swear to any sound, and I sure as hell do not want be responsible for poisoning him, I said I didnt know. We both decided to chuck the 1998 can.
so, onto the 2003 can of cherries: we opened it, there was a sucking sound. He ate some a few days ago and no repercussions.
Is this appetizing? You decide. Perhaps there are fans of old dead looking brown cherries here.
