Farm Journal: Adventures in Canning
Yesterday, acogswell came home with a brand-spanking-new 16-quart canner from Presto. Tonight, canning of tomatoes will ensue. We're going to just can the tomatoes whole, rather than turn them into sauce. It looks to be easier, and then we can do what we want with the tomatoes -- pasta sauce, jumbalaya, chili et cetera. I'll be taking some pictures throughout the process.
If we could stop eating the green beans as they grow on the vine long enough to actually harvest some, then I 'd like to can those, too. I also have chicken stock I can can from the roosters I butchered.
So many options now, and I don't have to fill up the freezer or the refrigerator.
Wow. I'm getting old.
