WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

I got delayed in this project of Ham hash. But I finally did it yesterday. Used an entire bone in ham. Almost 10 lbs of russets. And onion and red bells. Previously I had simmered a fresh pork bone for 18 hours so that was my congealed, then heated, liquid for the jars.

I don't how it tastes. I'll use one in a fry pan and then top with eggs for one night's dinner next week. Note: I reused two lids. I had carefully removed them from other jars of food. They sealed just fine.

Just bought new quart and pint jars. I've just begun pressure canning in the last couple months. Have done some soup/stews. Chicken and beef. But, I also use some jars for freeze dried foods.
I'm planning on browsing this thread for ideas and recipes

@Sammster you'll see many of us can a LOT! Gardens as well as meat harvested. Freezers are great but canning is often longer term, saves freezer space and much is heat and eat. Good storage if electrical issues, like emergencies.

My grandparents canned...no electric at all. Wood stoves.

Corn, granny Smith apples and banana out of the freeze dryer, so far. Peas and peaches needed a little more time.

Is there a freeze Drying board? I couldn't find one

Believe there may be but MOST of us don't have one. 😔🙄. @Britesea does and I believe she had started a thread. ??

Haven't done much posting lately But I'm still freeze drying stuff; shredded cheese, all kinds of fruits and vegetables, eggs. I did some meat, but it seems to get a little tough; I think it works better already cooked instead of raw.
