Nothing today. But tomorrow at ServeFest at church I will be leading a group making applesauce with 2 bushels of apples and canning it. The applesauce will be donated to the community meals ministry. I am looking forward to it.

I'm getting ready to can some watermelon jelly and watermelon rind pickles. I've never had watermelon rind pickles but can't wait to try them. They sound really good.
32 meatloaves (pints)
Couldn't let that hot water go to waste, so I did 7 quarts of lima beans and ham, and to thank my SIL for all his help, 7 half pints of concord grape jam. Couldn't find the actual grapes, so had to use frozen concentrate, but I made it double strength...and now I don't want to give it to him. I never liked grape jelly until it had this much flavor !

OK I can't stand it, I want to know how to can meatloaf!!!!! Lynn
Well, you need a pressure canner. From there, the sky's the limit. Any recipe you like, BUT you can't use eggs or (a lot of) fillers. I did one with turkey that used oatmeal, and one beef one that used a few bread crumbs, but not as many as a regular meatloaf. Both were fine. But my latest is "Smokehouse Meatloaf" with lots of spices and BBQ sauce, bell peppers and onions. No fillers at all. I think it is my favorite. Heat it up in the jar in the microwave to get rid of the last bit of hard grease, dump it out (widemouth jars only, of course) slice it for sandwiches, or eat it as a meatloaf proper.
