The soup will get onion, garlic, salt & pepper, and some parsley. I do season to taste so it's a little of this and some of that....

Well, it's been a while... Last night I put up 10 quarts of chicken soup.... Well, chicken / turkey really, I had saved a few quarts of chicken broth from the last time and added it to turkey soup. You can cry fowl if you like! :lol:

I am curious if anyone else does this... The last time I made soup (chicken) I did not have time to make the soup after I had the stock so I froze the stock. Fast forward to a nice turkey dinner, and it's time to make stock again for soup. Well, I have a 10+ quart stock pot, so after I had...

Yea, I even have a nice little bag with a couple diced and just begging to be added to an omelet made with some of the back-yard girl's finest! ;)

BTW, just wanted you to know, this is exactly what I did... I managed to get an entire zip-lock bag of sliced bell pepper! Next year, I will plant more of them.... ;)

That is awesome! It all looks so tasty~ BTW, if it's a bit damp down there, you may want to remove your rings to stop any rust on the rings.

I just cut the wood for a 6' long by 2' tall x 14" deep cabinet which I am building for my cellar canning storage. This will be mounted to the side of the stairs that go into the cellar and will have legs made into shelving to store my canning supplies. Because I am making it myself, I made...

Ok, I have one little bell pepper plant in my garden that made it. (Bad spring in New England!) I have maybe 6 peppers that appear to be almost ready to pick. How can I make the very most of these?

Thanks, I think it will receive a set of feet, although I would use stainless steel over brass, brass will still corrode. I seem to have so many "unfinished project's" in the shop right now, it sure was nice to have one start and finish so fast. PLUS it went flawless, well almost... I did have...

Well, I thought y'all might like this. I was working in my shop on another project that left me with some scrap oak that was almost too small to keep, but I HATE tossing good wood. So I scrounged up some scrap rosewood and then a little walnut from some old piece of furniture that I had saved...

Thanks, it's so much easier at dinner time to open up a can and re-heat than to cook them down. Plus, this ensures that we are not tossing wilted carrots after sitting in the "crisper drawer"... What an oxy-moron there, I have yet to see anything get "crisper" in that drawer to date! PS, cool...

RE: mold on jam... My first thought was either the head-space was too large, or maybe the boiling was not long enough. Did you count down from the time the jam went in the pot, of from when the water was back up to a boil? You should be waiting for the time count down when the water is at a...

Are you cooking your own recipe or something "approved"? My stew that was made with the above recipe has great potato's, but I did haave to thicken the stew when heated. From what I understand, there are things that need preservatives that we do not add when we can our food. This is why it is...

Just pulled 7 quarts of vegetable soup out of the pressure cooker. 16 different beans, fresh corn off the cob, some carrots, onion's & potato, a little celery & fresh tomato's from the garden. ;) Just looking at it is making my mouth water!

Ok, I figure I do have a few more to share.... Cast iron cooking anyone? http://blackirondude.blogspot.com/ Cook's.com... It's like 10 story cook book, with Google! http://www.cooks.com/ Feeling fancy?? Taste of Home's site http://www.tasteofhome.com/Default.aspx?r_d=y And the darling...

That stew was tested out tonight and is a winner. I did mod the recipe to double the pepper in it as it needed a bit more for my taste. We opened up two quarts tonight and added in a paste of 1cup of flower / 1cup of water to thicken it and it was great. I think chili will be next, I love...

How about a vote for the reliable old Jeep Wrangler? parts galore, easy to maintain, and very useful. I transport evertyhing with mine, pull the rear seat and carpet and use it like a pick up. Last Friday I brough home a new motor for the wifes Taurus in the back of it. I have moved firewood...

Thanks Denise... Now for the rest of you! Come on, NOBODY makes spaghetti sauce? :/

Dang... I should of thought to just copy & paste! Here are a few more from that website: Here is a link, the recipes are in a nice print out format too. http://www.freshpreserving.com/pages/all_recipes/215.php?catID=Home-Canning&pageNum=1 Vegetable Soup Makes about 7 (32 oz) quarts or 14 (16...

I just made some beef stew the other night and used a recipe from Balls own website. From what I understand, some starches like noodles, rice, and flour heavy gravy does not preserve well. The beef stew I made must have the gravy "thickened" when warmed up, but that is easy to do. My chicken...
