Bill Truesdell wrote: "Yes- Pressure cooker to be safe since you do not know
what you have in the crock."  when speaking of getting rid of botulism in a
homemade honey vinegar solution.  I majored in biology a loooonnng time ago
but seem to remember that it wasn't the botulism organisms that was the
trouble, it was the waste products of the botulism organism that were so
deadly and I don't think that pressure cooking the batch will change the
composition of the waste products.  It will kill the organism but not change
the deadly waste products.  Anyone can certainly correct me if I am wrong in
this, but wanted to insert a "Be Careful" statement on the comments already
made.
