Canning

[SenateurDupont]

Hi there

In the last post about wasting I mentioned canning as a way to preserve. Here are some samples of the canning I do.

Top row from leafy to right

-Beets (not pickled) I do hate to prepare them but I love them! so when the bag is given at the end of the summer I pressure can a batch.

-Mature chicken is really low price. You take your knife... take out the meat... in a glass jar and in the pressure canner... you can add it to multiple recepies.

-Ready to eat chicken sausage gumbo soup.

-Baked beans in tomato sauce

-Green tomato ketchup. Never throw away those delicious green tomatoes from your tomato plant!

Bottom row from left to right

-Chicken stock. Ready to use and made with the bone of the mature chicken you see in the top row. No waste of chicken!

-Ready to eat Chili con carne

-Chick peas with no salt.

-Bread and butter cucumber

-Pickled watermelon rinds. Another no waste recepie... and those are truly delicious!

This is a great way to use up the food that is leftover from any meal. Great idea! Thank you for sharing this with everyone.

I just love to can....we used to have an acre of gardening and grew everything. I would can 200 quarts of dills and 100 quarts of sauerkraut in addition to all the other garden things. A favorite was the end of the garden soup we canned....we did well over 100 2 quart jars!

But it takes lots of space! 🤣. But homemade sauerkraut is soooooo good!
