Oh, I got all distracted and didn’t post the photo I took of all 35 jars. You can see how the broth got lighter (right to left) the more I diluted the pot. I’m sure the lighter ones are still good broth, but not at all comparable to the earlier ones! The 10 on the far right are from the...

I’m like you. I love to make broth so I save all the bones I get. But I don’t use it all that much. I have decided that I will not save any more turkey bones until these are almost gone, and at that time I will limit myself to only one or two carcasses. (Although I still plan to make some...

5 made yesterday, 15 made today. (Today I started at 7am and kept the canner going pretty constantly.) I did retire one of the batches of bones because I thought they smelled a little odd. Not before I canned 7 quarts from it though, so when it’s time to open jars, I will have to do a sniff...

Well when I pried the frozen package open, I found that it was one large (wide) piece and one smaller (narrower) piece. I probably should have made a point to take the smaller one out sooner. But it ended up not too overcooked. The larger one was a nice medium. However verdict from husband is...

Oh yum! I love canned pork shoulder! Thank you for that idea! 😊

My steak is a 0.92 pound top sirloin strip steak . I probably should have asked what size and kind yours were. Fingers crossed!

Between the two multicookers on the right, I managed to fit in all the bones. Then I added as much water as I dared. They slow cooked for almost 24 hours, and now the first 5 quarts are in the pressure canner. I added more water to the bones and kept them cooking. Phew! If I keep to this...

Thank you! I will try this!

That steak looks really good. You just put it in the air fryer frozen? I air fried steaks one time and was less than impressed. Maybe I should try it from frozen. Did you do anything special to it?

Apparently I have been hoarding turkey bones for way too long! I need the freezer space, so I decided today I start the broth. I don’t know when I will can it. Ducks4you on The Easy Garden slow cooks her bones for days to make broth. I guess I can slow cook these until I get a good time to can.

Don’t worry, the other guy is keeping him safe by holding it with one hand. 🤦‍♀️

I’ve seen people holding their yarn and hooks in different ways and thought I might like to try that. Because my right hand gets awful numb when I crochet. But I’m so used to the way I’ve always done it that trying a new way feels too awkward so I don’t keep it up very long. I’m sure I should...

I made these (Beef Stroganoff) on Saturday from a Rose Red Homestead YouTube video. My grocery store had some rump roast marked down to $4.75/#.

About 16 pounds of pork shoulder, so I guess that makes it 2# per jar.

And here I thought I was doing good to find pork shoulder for $1.79/#!
