WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[FarmerJamie]

Carrot processing right there with the dehydrating onions. DD1 wanted carrot medallions in 1/2 pints, since the SIL doesn't like carrots. K... What are the one size jars I don't have? Yep. Trip to the store.

Let's use the food processor to cut the carrots 🥕... some are too small and slide down under the lid, so I get strips. Twice emptying the container, forgot to put the slicing disk in. Yep, that works well

So let's hand slice the small ones. Now I have made a big old mess and don't even have the canner out yet.

I have to be coming down with something. The brain and hands aren't communicating well. Sitting in the recliner with my coffee is working well, though.

I used up my half pints previously for pickled jalapeños

the gravity of the situation often has me on the perching on the edge of my seat.

i lay on my futon. saves me a lot of issues including having to deal with the above all day. gravity is very tiring... water seeks it's own level. i am therefore i pool.

Several days ago I ordered a second pressure canner. A Presto 23qt I like that presto says their canners are
Induction / glass Stovetop Compatible. The All Americans says they are not.
If I have to wait on 6 jars at a time I will just make myself ill,
I got this hand tool last year. I had one 15 or so years ago but my sone used it------ya,, he broke the lid

I thing Ill see how it does slicing the carrots--the blades are crazy sharp, ,nicked myself Sunday getting it out of the cabinet. I dont want them to thin so I'll test one carrot and see. I do have my big cabbage mandolin to use if the slices are to thin.


Well, there is a touch of light out,,,,time to go to the coop

I found glass top stoves didn't stay hot enough for long stretches of time. Self regulating feature.

Love my All American canner! 24 half pints + 2 pints fit with room to spare.
