sixpoint We had homemade chokecherry syrup, now my sister in law gives me a jar every year for Christmas.

I’m not much of a gardener. but I have grown jalapenos on my deck to red and smoked with mesquite until dry for chipotle powder.
I like to cold pack pressure can beef. Absolutely delicious, like left over pot roast anytime you want. My favorite thing to make with this is beef and gravy over biscuits. Beef and noodles are good too.

marzig20 The beef looks great. I also can meat (beef and chicken). There’s a Ball recipe for beef in red wine sauce that is exceptional.

wdaly I’ve never canned chicken, sounds good. I think any meat can be canned. Do you cold or hot pack.
marzig20 I honestly don’t know the difference between hot or cold packing. I’ll ask my wife how she cans our chicken

marzig20 I Cold pack. Like the results better. Learned from my Aunt who really liked it. Always made sure she had some in her pantry after she wasn’t able to do it anymore.

Finally got a chance to get a few photos in & reduce, including that Ham Bean soup I was talking about. The carrots for the Bone Broth & Onions were all from the garden. The peppers for both the bone broth & the final product were from the garden. All the rest unfortunately had to be Store Bought. Here are some nice
Peppers & Pecans.

cdavis cold pack means to just cut the meat and can. Hot is to precook and add broth before canning. I’ve never hot canned.
marzig20 thanks for the explanation

Finally got 2 big freezes and wiped out my garden except for the English peas. They are growing like crazy and man I are they loaded. We’ve had 2 meals with them but it’s fixing to be canning time.

calldoctoday looks good
cdavis Thank you. Hope you had the best of luck (heck, you don’t need luck, you know what you are doing & have it down pat) on that hunt this morning. Stay alert & stay safe & warm. Don’t drink too much coffee though. I like that one on your right, I hope he’s the man!

Surg my garden is my place to get away from it all. That’s why I hate to see it end every fall.

wdaly This was kind of on the fly. I had 3/4 gallon of fermented hot wax peppers that I blended and added sugar , dales seasoning, and vinegar and orange juice until I liked the taste and then thickened it up with corn starch
