Thank You! I let them get to boiling and then turn them down and let em simmer for 10-15 minutes. A lot of recipes call for dumping the water out but I have always used the broth that I let them simmer in to can in. Then I canned some of the broth for later such as gravies, soups, etc. I think...

Yesterday I canned 22 half pints of mushrooms and 5 half pints of mushrooms and green peppers, and 7 quarts mushroom broth. shown is only the 22 half pints of mushrooms.

I couldn't live without my pressure canner. Ground beef is just one example. My kids like hamburger helper so I can use it in that sometimes, It's a flash to make taco's, Great for sloppy joes too. I use it alot. I find it alot easier to have it ready to add to a meal rather than to have to lug...

Canning is a great way to preserve meat. I love it! When I find ground beef on sale I will buy alot of it and fry it up and put it in jars pour boiling water over it and process it in the pressure canner. I just used my last jar this week from what I had canned back in the winter. Time to find...

Thanks Everyone for all the great information. I really appreciate it so much! I think I will prepare to do this cleanse when our garden is ready to start eating all the veggies we have grown. It's really gonna be hard for me to do without caffeine. I will have to get Hubby some of the Lobeila...

It's just so fun to go around and see what you can possibly use to make jelly. I love having chilli canned up, it's so great to just pop the top on a jar of your home canned chilli on a cold wintry day. I made some banana butter from a recipe on byc and it called for maraschino cherries in it...

Thanks Girl's! I've love making unusual jellies. I think this jelly will be great to sweeten tea.

When I first started canning I didn't want to open my jars of food either. I wanted to have it all sitting on the shelf looking real pretty. I have finally come to realize that we can eat the food we can now..lol..it does make room for empty jars that do need filling and I just love canning...

This sounds good. I'll have to try it.

Yes, we are really excited about our cow. She is supposed to be delivered tomorrow (weather permitting) I can't wait. We don't have a real good place to put her yet. Just a small lot and she can also wonder into the barn as well. When it gets a little warmer ( at least when the ground unfreezes)...

Wow, sounds like you have the perfect plan Miss north. As for planning out the paddocks for all of your animals ...well, we are still working that out too. We have 75 acres of land , 2 barns, and a shop for Hubby to work in and of course several chicken houses. Right now we are living in a 16 x...

Sounds like some of you have great Hubby's too. I do have to say that I really loved being single though for all the reasons everyone else has posted. It's really great when the only person you have to answer to is yourself unless of course you luck out and find that perfect someone.
