WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[Mini Horses]

Pork butt. Yep, got one marked to $.87 per pd. Couldn't pass and don't need, some in freezer. Sooo, canning this one. In and at temp now also bought fresh pork picnic, marked at $1.37 pd. Thinking that'll get in freezer. Have bones/scraps of this to cook, plus fat to render. All I want to do today.

Cool & all day rains. Good day for this.

Last week some various types of beef roasts were on sale for $5 a lb. I bought four of them, then chunked them up. I finally got around to canning it all. 10 pints of beef chunks, which will make alot of meals for us. Expensive but I did need to keep some beef around.

Actually, beef has gotten so high that that was a decent price! Chuck is running 6.99-7.99 around here. It'll be real cheap sounding in a couple more months

I got 2 butt portion hams @ .88 -- Easter sales -- gonna can up in pints, make a pot of beans with the small bone. Cheap meals, good protein. heat & eat.

8 pts of ham chunks cooling. Put 2nd ham in frig. Will decide what I want to do in a couple days. 3rd put into freezer. Soooo, while canner doing it's job, I look for a bag of beans to go with ham bone. None! Wanted white and only pinto or red kidney -- I've canned the rest. Wrapped up that bone and put in freezer. One day when I'm out, I'll get a couple bags of great northerns.

Cats got some juices & scraps in their kibble tonight
