I made brownies in a jar. They lasted fine and tasted great. I know I've seen a recipe for the bread, just haven't tried it,yet.
). Love that stuff on shortbread cookies. Yum!
I canned some poke weed Monday, just to see how it cans up. On another note, made some bread and took a small jar of ghee to bible study and now I'll have to can up some ghee for Christmas gifts.. lol
I have 10 pints of sweet and tart cherry pie filling done up in pint jars.
I also have 6 pints of apple raisin pie filling done up.
Resting today.
Will start back up tomorrow. Maybe?

I definitely need to get chicken bone broth put up - have a lot of bags of stuff ready to be cooked in the freezer.
Ordered the "chicken paws" (chicken feet) from Azure Standard, to use with bone broth for the collagen. Looks kinda creepy when I open the freezer lid. Lol.

My oldest boy is currently canning 14 lbs of beef and 12 lbs of pork roasts in pints. He starts a new job at the end of the month on a trail crew and will be living in a town with almost no services and no groceries. The power can be sketchy also so expensive meats are safest in jars and easier to make into his favorite food group of tacos
. He will probably be home on most of his days off at first since we are only about an hour and half away and he can grocery shop in the basement and garden and do laundry.

OMGoodness, You should be very proud of your boy @Bluedanube and he should be happy that you were there along the way to teach him! I learned how to can out of a book. Once I got confortable with the waterbath method, I went to pressure canning. I wish I had a mentor to teach me the how to's.
Trivia...
At one time I had a wife that was as skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable as any degreed master canner, preserver.. In that area she was quite the ..go to.. person for information and all manor of help with canning, preserving.. So, I have seen how valuable a good mentor is in how fast and well people learn, use and retain skills...
During covid, when jars, lids and other consumable supplies were short, expensive, and hard to obtain.. The reusable lids, seals became more popular as they were more obtainable at the time.. She counseled, and was a valuable trouble shooter for many on using these products to good success..

I got a bunch of reusable lids and once I got the lid tool, they work well.
