Canning More Salmon

7:39 PM, Sunday, July 20, 2008 .. Posted in Canning and Preserving .. 4 comments .. Link

I am working on another canner load of sockeye salmon tonight.  This will bring our total up to 56 pints.  All I can say is I'm getting tired of fish  :o)  But I know it will be so worth it every time I open a jar!  Here is a picture of my canning so far...

 

We also have 10 fish in the freezer to smoke and can up when Rod gets home.  Aren't you looking forward to that honey?  :o)

I picked a few blueberries yesterday and made some muffins today.  They were very good.  I used fresh eggs from the chickens.  They are in back in production now - they have blessed us with 2 dozen in the last 6 days!  Yeah!!

Only two weeks until my Becoming an Outdoors Woman weekend.  I will be flying to Haines and staying for 3 days and learning all sorts of cool stuff!  The classes I am taking are:  dutch oven gourment, field dressing, salmon fishing, and chainsaw.  I am looking forward to meeting ladies who share similar interests!  My dad has pointed out a bunch of trees for me to take down on the property after I take my chainsaw class, so I will get lots of practice right off the bat!  Can't wait!

I love seeing your pictures of your canning! You look so organized!! =) What do you keep in the tubs at the bottom of your baker's rack?

Blessings, Jennifer

Hi Jennifer~
The plastic tubs below hold rice, potatoes, onions, dried corn, soft wheat and hard wheat. It is nice to have them all handy to the kitchen and I can just refill when they get low.

Your salmon looks wonderful. I would love to have your smoked salmon recipe, I might be able to use it for steelhead, if I get or could borrow a pressure canner. We love canned salmon.
