Wow. Thank you. That's exactly what I needed. G

Well the lard was a gift from my sil who had 2, 4h pigs processed. I couldn't really be specific about leaf vs normal. Last year I had the same problem. I have access to a grinder for my kitchen-aid this year. Last year I cut by hand. Should the lard be thawed or frozen for grinding? I...

Wow this thread is old. I have a couple questions. So I'm going to revive it!! I have rendered lard before. I used the crock pot method. Worked fine in small batches. I need to make some room in the freezer before Thanksgiving. So I want to get going on this. This year I have the lard...

Threads not entirely dead. I'm still working on my bourbon reds. I have 4 bird hatched last December. The will be butchered in a mint or so. One more Tom hatched in March. I took the three hens hatched at the same time to my aunt in Mo. My yards were getting a bit crowded. Thinking about...

I'm drowning in pears and tomatoes!!! :weee Actually I did 7 q of pears and 20 pints of diced tomatoes yesterday. Another 7 quarts diced tom this morning. I should be up working on some more but my feet hurt. :hide g

I just did a search on "lard press" and sure enough yours came up. I am looking for one locally, not a realistic goal in Southern Ca. But I have found many on e bay. Just wondering if you have used it for lard yet. gina

Not sure if your interested. But I found someone selling 75 glass gem lids on Etsy for aroud 25 dollars. Seemed like a great deal. G

I pretty much live in a good size city. So every week I look over the sale adds. I buy seasonally and sales for canning. I have seen green beans as low as 99 cents per pound at my health food store. I think if you were buying in bulk from a farmer they would be cheaper. Prices do seem to...

I canned corn for the first time this year. I bought from my local health food store twice. 6 ears for a buck. With 36 ears I canned 24 pints. Worked out at about 25 cents per pint. Not bad. Canned corn cost a minimum of 68 cents when you can get it on sale. We don't eat corn too often so...

all good.

Did you notice the date on the quote is from over 3 years ago?? :hu

Bee, perhaps you need a cow or a couple of sheep to help amend the garden?? :hide

Your so kind. I actually did a search locally this morning. I don't think they are something I'm going to find locally. :lau But trust me ill keep looking. G Ok quick question. These glass lids don't fit standard ball or mason jars do they???

Oh thank you so much for all the pictures. I love looking at the older jars. I have many that are garage sale finds. Not sure if their age but I still use most of them. I would love to use/have glass lids. They are just beautiful. Hummm now I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for Gem...

I have read that you should keep a tally for 1 month . write down everything you use. start building your supply by buying 1 or 2 extra of every item . this should get you to a 3 month supply . then build up from there to 1 years worth . this works great for things like condiments and...

I love the pantry pic!! Mine is filling quickly as well. :D So back up a minute to the pics of your canned goods. I love the square pints. I have a few of those myself. I have also heard you talk about the glass top jars. I thought you were talking about the ones with metal locking lids...

Bee, this is something most of us are striving to still learn!!! BB the pantry looks great. I love to see the shelves filling. Such a feeling of satisfaction. g
