WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?
- Thread starter Acre of Blessings
- Start date
Yesterday DGD and I made the chocoalte raspberry jam, which is really, really good.
Last night I baked a ham and this morning I made pink beans and ham and am canning seven quarts as we speak!
As soon as I can get some jars, I will break down the gallons of both BBQ sauce and enchilada sauce into more manageable sizes.

I need to take advantage of some of these turkey day sales. I want to do turkey, cranberries and the potatoes. Ugggg so much to do and so little time. I still have 50 lbs of tomatoes in the freezer as well.

I am roasting those freezer tomatoes today, as well as some Anaheim peppers, with a little olive oil and some garlic and basil. Smells pretty darned good!
Hopefully they will be getting canned up as sauce later today.

40 pints of turkey catfood cooling, and 40 more pints in jars ready to go into the canners. And another bucket (5 gallons) of food mixed up and ready to go....tomorrow. Whew. DH has to go out and buy more jars on his way home from work tomorrow, I underestimated.
One more smaller batch after this (oh, please, let turkeys come on sale again!!!) and I won't have to make catfood until next December, my goal. I hope I remember how! It's gonna be a busy year and I want this big job out of the way asap.
I will only allow teensy weensy cats into my life from now on!!!!

I have my biggest pot on the stove with all my collected chicken and turkey parts simmering away. I added onions carrots and celery. Some spices and other stuff. I am hoping for a tasty broth.
I have a chicken fat question. I know some around her talk about how they save and cook with it. I manage to skim about a pint off of last nights broths. Can I use it like any other fat/ shortening? Or is it too valuable for that? Should it be reserved for sauteing veggies? Can it be frozen?
Any advice welcome!!

FF I ran out of pint jars about a month ago. I managed to pull together a dozen that have recently emptied. Pints are definitely on the list for next year.

Canning sweet potatoes in quarts and ham in pints today. Also, not canning, but I had leftover mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, so I combined them and added butter, milk and chipotle powder. I did this a few weeks ago, and it was so good I had to repeat. Took a bunch to family to share.
