What are you canning now?

New sealing ring is working better than the old one--glad that I bought it!
I had more control over the pressure, so I think it was time for the replacement, which came with a new small rubber stopped on the lid, too.
I am about to remove the pressure canner and it has 4 more quarts of deep and dark beef broth, made from making a roast on sunday with canned beef broth, adding back the leftover carrots and potatoes, adding a few dehydrated garlic pieces, adding 1/2 of an onion and frozen t bone steak bones, and adding some dehydrated tomatoes.
Life really got in the way this week. I added filtered water to the 6 quart crock pot to start this batch last Sunday and I had intended on finishing it Wednesday, but I finally finished this broth toDAY, Saturday!
The carrots, potato pieces, tomatoes and garlic ALL disintegrated into the liquid.
It looks a lot Worcestershire sauce. Pictures later...it is depressurizing.

Those seal rings dry out and wear down . So glad a new one worked out.

Here is yesterday's canning. This broth will be used for making Salesbury Steak, which Eldest DD (Chef) uses from premade hamburgers that have been marinated overnight along with onions and mushrooms, and some Worcestershire Sauce. I meant to can on Wednesday, so it went 6 days!
The box is shot, so I will garden with it when empty. I forgot to add that I used Worcestershire Sauce and red wine with the roast one week ago. 4 quarts and the labeled box...

That would be so nice to have on hand for gravy, soups or stews!

More than a week ago, Safeway had some beef roasts on sale for $5 a lb. I got four of them. Chunked them up and put in zip bag in the refrig. I finally got to them yesterday. I canned up 10 pints of beef for the deep pantry. I have alot of pork and chicken, but with beef being so expensive, I'd been avoiding canning any. Was it expensive? Yes. But I'll get several meals from one pint someday.

Good deal! We are about to pay for our new beef, "Greenland," 963 pounds hanging weight, and our estimated price per pound is $6.40
It is Black Angus.
IF the person who backed out 4 years ago didn't buy it, when I met G., I could have had 1/4 cow, all hamburger, $2/lb
SO GOOD for you to have it canned and in the pantry!!!
I was telling everybody last summer that the drought created a big selloff and that there was going to be a beef shortage.
I KNEW the eggs prices would drop after 7 months of growing layers to egg capability.
You have to convince people to keep cattle when the money isn't there, and this recovery will be longer.

DD found two chicken breasts in her freezer with freezer burn. I took them, cooked them up in my 8 qt crock pot for Eva, left a few bits and today added powdered thyme, powdered onion, scraped up a carrot and added chopped celery. I should make some nice broth by Thursday.
