Basically, if you can cook it, you can 'can' it too. Why settle for just green beans when you can have green beans and mushrooms. How does Red Cabbage & Apples sound, yum....with bacon too! We don't just mean homemade Spaghetti and meat balls. Corn beef & Cabbage anyone? Spanish Rice? Potato, Leek, & Mushroom soup? Carrots with Ginger & Almonds? MMMM....Boston Baked Beans anyone? Got your attention yet? How about Clam Chowder? That did it, you're dreaming now aren't you! These are just a few that we do as part of our normal canning season. Dinner in a Kerr or Ball jar is far better than dinner from a box. We would much rather go to the pantry instead of the store when we want canned mushrooms.
Picture it....you had a heck of a busy day and the last thing you want to do is make dinner. Thoughts of fast food don't seem fast at all when you think about the lines. Who wants to shop after work? Money? The cost alone is enough to make you cringe. But what if.......you could have home cooked goodness, made by your own hands, MONTHS after you made it? Dinner you made, not McDonalds, not KFC, but a GOOD dinner that you don't have to cook on those days when you just don't WANT TO COOK. That's where pressure canning takes you places your hot water bath just can't. Your imagination is really all you need........ seriously!

Everywhere I look around...........
Remember this song? Aging ourselves a little just by admitting this aren't we.... But as fall quickly arrives like a gale on the coast and our barn yard turns into its own little version of the dating game, we can't help but smile as the song plays around in our heads. Yep......it's that time of year again - breeding time! |
