I read that, too, not to boil the lids. I Will have DD's check for them at estate sales. I don't care much for going to them, but They do.
What are you canning now?

I love garlic! I like to cook gourmet dinners and when the recipe calls for 2 garlic cloves I always put in a whole bulb!

Not canning, but eating from canning. I am making turkey soup/stew, no turkey meat, just cooked down broth (cooked down with onions, carrot scrapings, frozen and old celery). DH insists on soup, although I would like to thicken it up.
We are eating this tonight with one of the pints of applesauce I made a few months ago, AND, since I was low on carrots, I retrieved these two pints of pressured canned (2022) carrots I had downstairs. I gave them the sniff test AND the taste-a-carrot test. BOTH were very tasty! I poured off the canning liquid into the crock pot last night, strained the broth, and added cut up potatoes, onions and celery. (Carrots minus liquid went into the fridge.
I will be adding the 2 pints of carrots about a hour before serving since the canning process already cooked them.
I am about to make corn muffins, too.
I have bones from Thanksgiving and will start the next batch of turkey broth immediately, for canning end of the week.
I may add just a bit of salt, definitely add some pepper.

So, middle DD wanted chicken broth. Eldest DD bought me a 12 pack of drumsticks and I started the broth a few days ago. Plans for next week just changed--I will be doing a full day's worth of loan signings at same location on Monday
, so NO time to prep this weekend, what with today's office party, family Christmas get together tomorrow and other stuff.
SO... with the 6 chicken drumsticks cooking away for a couple of days in my canning crock pot, along with Lots of herbs seasonings, I was up at 1:15AM and decided to stay up and finish the broth, which was done by 3:15AM.
This morning I had to wash the jars--there was a little spillage before I put them in the canner--but they will be ready to pack up and bring for a Christmas present tomorrow!
8 pints, 6 for middle DD and 2 for Eldest DD, and 6 more drumsticks in the freezer for another batch soon!
