I did the sweet potatoes (yes @flowerbug , pressure canned!) and two kinds of jellies, and then I got busy with other things so the rest of the canning list still waits.
What are you canning now?

Got both crock pots and their aluminum shells scrubbed up and clean, then I started 1/2 package of 6 chicken drumsticks for chicken broth in the 8 qt crock pot. I started with some previously kinda watered down turkey broth, added the drumsticks and some frozen carrots scrapings and frozen onion pieces (from cuts for hamburgers that nobody wanted.)
I removed the chicken this morning and fed Eva half, refrigerated the other half, and get it going.
I should be making specialty chicken broth this afternoon, then I will start vegetable broth in the 8 qt crock pot.
I sent DD (Chef) home yesterday with 12 pints of recent beef broth. All 12 pints fit nicely in the box that they ship our coffee beans. I cut cardboard dividers in between each set of 6 pints, and one shelf for the 2nd set of 6, then labeled. The dividers will keep the glass jars from breaking against each other.
Yes, I have wine boxes with dividers, but they hold 16 jars and that gets Really heavy. This weight is more manageable.
She will get another such box with chicken broth pints this week, then another with vegetable broth.

I should mention that wine boxes will work for quarts, if the dividers are wide enough, but you will want to put them on the ground and fill them there. 12 quarts of anything is VERY HEAVY!
