Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

It is not difficult. For the dogs, I can raw, bones and all. 90 minutes at 10 pounds pressure and the bones crumble. Of course, for dogs or not, just the canning process makes it human grade food.

When I slaughter old laying hens, I cook the chicken, pick meat off the bones and can the meat in the broth. 90 minutes at 10 pounds. Then I have cooked chicken for anything I want to make.

I believe @Hinotori has canned salmon.

Any oily fish cans well. I've canned tuna and salmon. I always smoke it first as we prefer it that way. I use the 10 oz oyster jars. I wouldn't do it in pints because it's just too much fish.

Salmon you can follow instructions for tuna.

Oh and when removing the cooked fish from a jar, stick a table knife straight in and twist in a few spots so the liquid soaks back into the fish before removing.

After the move and things are back to normal, I want to go to one of the Fisheries up in Port Townsend Key City Fish and get fish to can,, I WILL be asking for help from you, I dont want to mess it up cuz like,, it could happen

Kids are up. They're not happy about getting up earlier every day to be ready for their school schedule next week. Next week!

Dogs are trained, fed, nails filed, and napping. Kids fed and entertained. Time for me to start writing. May I throw a mommy tantrum please?

May I throw a mommy tantrum please?

I say go for it. I throw one just about twice a day.

No but seriously these hormones are making me feel like a horrible person.

And you get night sweats and wake up in a puddle, wet cold sheets. But if you can tough it out and not run crying to the doctor for hormones, pills or whatever women do, it all goes away. I drank soy milk. Sometimes I would go a week and not want any, sometimes a small glass, sometimes I drank nearly the whole half gallon. Eh.
