We have been putting our pressure canner to good use. I think my husband is enjoying it more than I am 
.
I get the cans ready & load them & then I go hide while he sets the pressure & watches the time. 
The thing is really cool but very scary in frankenstein-blow-up-your-kitchen sort of way.
So far we have put up 3 quarts of ham & bean soup, 3 quarts of spaghetti sauce, 13 pints of turkey broth, & 6 quarts of turkey soup. Pretty nifty, huh?
We have more turkey simmering away on the stove for broth &soup. It is very gratifying to watch your store of food grow WITHOUT going to the grocery store.
You should definetly try this! (but make sure your husband is close by 
.)
Blessings.
Girl ,my honey is aways helping me put up stuff and even bake bread . It is such a blessing that we have them to help us like that . YOU will have to give me some of your recipes for the soup ,it sounds good !!! How do you pressure cook your jar ,and for how long ? I know it speeds up the canning time ,verses boiling in water to seal . Just leave me a private messsage ,etc. Thanks ,Shaune
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to have a helpful hubby in the kitchen, mine kind of gets in the way. He loves to help but needs more direction then my 10 year old. LOL I really don't mind. The kitchen is my domain.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to thank you for stopping by my bolg and the dairy goat info. It was very helpful.
