WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

That's great about your canning! You are going to get so much good food put up.

Yesterday I canned up those tough cockerels and of course I used a quart jar of it tonight to make chicken and dumplings. My family said it was the best I ever made and let me tell you, my boys like their chicken and dumplings. I can't wait for DH to get some good deals at work on chicken breast fillets of 20 lbs for $22. Half the time he forgets about the sale or doesn't want to wait to pick up the meat. Uggg! I still haven't had a chance to check on those jars my friend/neighbor told me about but I will probably go by there this weekend. I can't really can anything else until I get some more jars and lids.

That's fantastic. Chicken and dumplings sounds good right now. It's certainly the right weather for it.

I'm going to take my life in my hands this weekend and can up several pints of milk.

That's something that I've threatened to do- but never have. Please let us know how it goes. Good luck!

My feet are killing me. I took my life in my hands just like @canesisters and I canned up 9 pints of bacon.....

 

[frustratedearthmother]

How did the bacon turn out?

 

[waretrop]

Oh yes..It turned out great...

They are wrapped in parchment paper. When they are opened up there is a little fat at the bottom of each piece. I just press it with a paper towel and the bacon is perfect. I use it for my husbands breakfast sandwich most days....

I have a collection of bacon in the freezer that I have paid about $2.00 a pound..I try to can it all in one day... Next up is chuck roasts.....
