WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[flowerbug]

...I am going to be haunting that clearance shelf from now on in hopes of finding more!

years ago when i was making peach jam from some buckets of peaches a friend let me harvest from her tree i had some peach jam left in the pan and decided to make an experimental version which included some Apple Cider Vinegar (just a bit), crushed red pepper flakes and some green curry. i waited a few weeks and then cracked the first jar open. it was really good i regretted not making more than the two jars i did. i've not made it since then either.

Ugh, electric pressure canner not building pressure. New seal device didn't make a difference

 

[Mini Horses]

So, using the regular pressure canner?? Yep.

Oh no! That is NOT ok!

About 16 pounds of pork shoulder, so I guess that makes it 2# per jar.

I have no canned pork or beef. May get an extra BButt and can it.

Today I'm "un-canning" again. Using from pantry

I made these (Beef Stroganoff) on Saturday from a Rose Red Homestead YouTube video. My grocery store had some rump roast marked down to $4.75/#.

Apparently I have been hoarding turkey bones for way too long! I need the freezer space, so I decided today I start the broth. I don’t know when I will can it. Ducks4you on The Easy Garden slow cooks her bones for days to make broth. I guess I can slow cook these until I get a good time to can.

Between the two multicookers on the right, I managed to fit in all the bones. Then I added as much water as I dared. They slow cooked for almost 24 hours, and now the first 5 quarts are in the pressure canner. I added more water to the bones and kept them cooking.

Phew! If I keep to this method I can see myself canning turkey broth for weeks on end! I wonder how many times I can remove broth and add water before the broth begins to get weak. A lot of times I think, because each one of those bags of turkey bones I had could have made a huge pot of broth by itself. I wouldn’t be surprised if I get over 60 quarts in the end. I better go count my empty jars.
