WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[Rammy]

Canned 7 pints of chili and 4 pints of hamburger.

 

[Hinotori]

9 pints of strawberry syrup.

Hubby really wants more syrup this year. I only did a couple jars last year.

 

[Britesea]

Canned some Chicken thighs that were on sale for 98 cents a lb; the package I picked up had 6 thighs in it, and it weighed 6 pounds. Biggest thighs I've ever seen!

We have been butchering Cornish Cross chickens. I've canned 21 quarts of skin, hearts, backs, wing tips, etc for the dogs. Already canned 34 pints of broth.

If thighs were that large. Imagine what those birds were like whole. impressive.

@Hinotori what does he use the syrup on/ for? I made about 4 pints of blackberry syrup last yr and realize I haven't used any. Blackberry season again -- jam or jelly this year! I had thought over pancakes...didn't happen....I do have PB&J more often.

Hope to pick blueberry's. Love those. There's a u-pick just a few miles away.

 

[Hinotori]

Pancakes occasionally, but mostly ice cream or rarely added to milkshakes as the sweetener. I use jam for that sometimes as well. Milk, frozen strawberries, and jam/syrup.

He really likes it over ice cream.

Blueberries here got hit by the freak winter storms we had. No early varieties, the later varieties will bear, but the cool weather and rains we had has reduced the amount of berries. I have a few packages in the freezer, but that won't carry us until next year!

 

[Mini Horses]

We didn't have any extremes this year so really hoping all will be good. Not only are blueberries tasty but, good for you. Messed up and didn't go last yr. Why? Don't remember but will this year! Probably Covid things. ??

 

[Rammy]

Canned 16 pints, and 4 quarts hamburger on Saturday. Monday I canned 6 quarts of chicken with homemade broth, and had enough broth leftover to can 1 qrt and 1 pint each.

I made and canned 3 batches of wild plum jam, 15 pints.
