Canning and Organizing

Posted in In My Kitchen

Well this week we are working at a lot of canning and some freezer cooking.  Yesterday we did 14 quart jars of potatoes.  Then 12 pints of apple sauce + 1 quart jar.  But that one doesn't really count, we already ate it LOL!  

Tomorrow we have lots of hamburger to can.  If memory serves me right there is 40 pounds in the freezer.  Some will be cooked and canned with just a bit of seasonings.  Some will be saved to add to chili and other dishes.

Dh also picked 3 grocery bags of apples off our tree.  So we'll get them done into more apple sauce and maybe some apple butter.  They are such nice sweet apples!!  I wish I knew what the name of the tree was.

Also on the list for this week is chili, ketchup, lots of canned meats, chicken/turkey stock and chicken soup.  It's going to be busy in the kitchen!

We also want to make up lots of dry mixes, especially gluten free ones.  Hopefully we'll get time to do a big baking session to!

We have been working at decluttering and organizing a section each day as well.
