WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

Finally, the replacement gasket came for the electric canner. I have everything to make baked beans. Not sure what is next on the list

I should probably plan to do a load of chili and some stew. I am out of shelf stable meals for those nights I just can’t.

Ready to use meals are my fav thing!! Some days you can't perform sandwiches can be tiring.

I'm "uncanning"

Have a pot of chili going but not to can...eat & freezer fill. BUT I am using canned tomatoes, beans, dehydrated tomatoes & peppers. Geesh, 2020 had me busy with garden, canning & drying -- those masked & 6' apart days... using up the few things still stocked to have room for 2025. It's still all in perfect shape. Besides, winter is why I canned it and when I enforce my "no or minimal" spend cap. Retrain yourself to use not buy.

The challenge isn't canning, it's using!

Ham and bean soup in the canner! (finally)

Ohh Great Idea. I make this all the time and fill my freezer with the left overs - I can save all that space ... Thank you for sharing that...

Another's positive with can vs freezer....open jar & heat, no defrost time!!
