Today is another busy day in the kitchen finishing up the last of the canning and making some yummy meals. We are having French toast for breakfast and Chicken enchiladas for dinner. I'm also pressure-canning up some beef and making cranberry sauce. I hope you enjoy coming along with me.
Thanks for watching!

A hint for labelling: I print and laminating tons of labels for my regular canned stock. I hole punch and put a rubber band on, and slip ot over the ring. I re-use the labels and it's very easy to pop it back onto a new batch of jars. I store the labels in an empty jar in the section where I store the batch.

I’ve canned 1,254 jars of food this year, so far, and I can’t calculate the hundreds of hours I’ve spent in the kitchen doing so. Today I had to debone and skin 25# of chicken thighs and then can them, and now I have to make the stock tomorrow (with a few other carcasses) and can it on Sunday. It’s a labor of love that sometimes feels like a labor of torture, but having all this food puts me at ease. I can carrots with a tbsp of onion soup mix in each pint and they are absolutely delicious.

If I were canning dry beans I would wait until it gets a bit colder. That goes for meats and anything that was put in the freezer to be processed after the bulk of garden processing. Not only is there usually a little more time but it is more energy efficient. Because canning produces heat, doing so on colder days can reduce your heating costs a smidge and if you heat by wood the canning puts moisture back in that very dry air. It isn't going to save hundreds on your electric bill but every little bit helps.

I've always wanted to can, but have been honestly terrified of killing my family with botulism. I finally researched enough and spoke with a friend who is 75 and has canned since she was little and I dove into the deep end. Started this season with strawberry, blueberries, and blackberry jam.. went on to banana peppers, some tomatoes, and string beans.. finished with applesauce.. can't wait until next year and am grateful for the confidence and knowledge I've gained. You're an inspiration and I do appreciate how thoughtful you are in reference to teaching us newbies!! Much love!!

Your comment on how labour intensive it is to grow your own food, store it and clean and wonder if it is all worth it. I have had this thought many times and it’s nice to hear someone else say it out loud. Yes it’s hard work and saves money and is healthier but how many years can a person keep up this physical labour. I believe we do it more for others and not so much for ourselves.
