A couple of summers ago I had two freezers and they were full. Then they went out!!!!!! Both a few days apart.
The fruit crop was the best it had been in years due to the wonderful rains we had that elimated our drought here in North Texas. We had picked wild grapes and wild plums on our property. Our peach trees had made and our friends gave us pears, peaches and plums for the picking. I had 7 pkgs. of ten lb leg quarters and lots of beef, pork and ribs.
My sister and my friend came over and we got to work. Thank God I had lots of canning jars and lids. We put the meat in coolers to do next day and started on the fruit. The jars went into the dish washer and the fruit was heated to boiling and canned. My canner will hold 14 qts at a time. By evening we had the fruit all done.
Next day I put all the beef, pork and ribs to cook all together in roasting pans including my electric turkey cooker. We removed all the bones and fat and canned it. Next day I put the chicken in my big pot (40 qts.) and covered with water and added chicken bouillon and onions. With most of the selves out, the pan fit in my refrigerator. Next morning removed the fat and bones and the meat went into pint jars and broth in qt jars.
Are you tired yet?????? Point is I saved my food. Tip Hero encourages people to share experiences and I have more than a few!!!! |
