I finally got around to processing the left over Turkey and the carcass yesterday. The day before I simmered the turkey carcass most of the day with added in rooster booster, onion and celery. Stuck in fridge overnight so I could skim off all the fat. Since I processed 3 pints of meat I stuck them in with those. Got 9 pints of of nice looking turkey broth to add to my shelves. I've really missed canning since I didn't do my garden this season. For Christmas gifts I did do some Maple Jalapeno Onion Bacon Jam found over at the canning granny blog. Pretty good savory jam.

What are your favorite foods to can?

Canned foods are notoriously good for long term storage, but there are still precautions to be noted. Check out this article https://zamonthly.org/2019/01/09/prepper-pro-tip-beware-of-botulism/

I do totally agree in safe canning practices. . . .unfortunately the canning gods are not able to approve every recipe that is out there that has been tried and true because of limited funds. I understand that. If one stays true to the guidelines set out by them, then a person should be just fine. I have been canning for a good number of years, never giving anyone botulism and will admit I am a canning rebel of sorts because I know of the limited funds. . . . I can butter, milk, pickled eggs etc which are all not approved.
There are many recipes out there from other countries that are great. Many of the approved water bath recipes I just can not take, mainly because of the vinegar used so I will alter. . . Like in hot sauce. . . I use no vinegar but use lemon juice instead. I know my tomatoes have the acid level, but as a precaution I use the lemon just in case.
