Good morning world. A tad late for everyone here this morning. Need to reset my alarm for a few minutes later. Instead of hitting snooze, hitting the off button and not getting up. Not what I wanted to do.
I broke down yesterday and went to our local home center and bought not one but two pressure canners. I have always wanted to have two and they were on sale! That is a good thing.
Yesterday I only used one though and canned 7 quarts of chicken. When it was on sale, I bought 7 cases of 10 pound bags of chicken leg quarters. It had not been on sale as cheap as it was and I thought I had better take advantage of the sale.
I do not have pictures. However, here is what I did.
Got my jars and lids ready. Cut the leg from the thigh, then cut the thigh in half. It was a big thigh. Started by putting legs in jars, 3 legs meat down, then 2 legs with the meat up. Then filled the rest of the jars.
Put enough meat in the jars to leave about an inch head space. The leg jars were not filled up as much. I added a teaspoon of salt to each jar. Wiped the mouth of the jar with a vinegar washrag. Put on the lids and rings. Processed for 75 minutes at 10 pounds. Actually it probably was longer than that as I was getting use to the new canner with a gauge.
Today I am going to get some produce from our garden canned. Most of it has been in the frig waiting for me. And going to can pinto beans, homemade pork and beans, more chicken, and whatever I can find in my freezer. Oh and pickles too!
School this morning, then in the kitchen!
I am excited to say I have stayed on the eating plan yesterday. Even drank more water. I am going to put the pitcher back in the frig so I can measure out how much water I am drinking.
Also, I want to add something to my list of who I am, not my roles.
10. I am an over comer!
I plan on adding to this list as the Holy Spirit shows me.
Have a great Tuesday!
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
