OK, I'll start. Today I canned 5 quarts of lovely rich turkey stock, from the carcasses of the two holiday turkeys. While it was chilling to help skim the fat before canning, it was a big pot of "turkey jello", just the way it should be.

Next project is going to have to be Habanero Gold jelly, I just opened my last jar. After that, probably raspberry jam, it's so much nicer to stand over a jam pot in January than it is in July!

Happy 2023, everyone.

Canfan, both my girls live close to me and they "shop" the pantry regularly, LOL. So I just keep canning...

Yesterday it was 3 quarts and 7 pints of kidney beans, 3 quarts and 2 pints of cranberry beans, one pint of black garbanzos (I will NEVER grow those again, what a pain), 3 pints of crowder peas, 4 quarts and a pint of chicken stock and 6 half pints of peach hot sauce.

Before that it was 2 dehydrators full of poblano pepper slices, a couple dozen poblanos roasted, peeled and frozen whole for rellenos later, and right now I have beef bones in the big Nesco roaster, that'll cook all night and tomorrow I'll can beef stock and some more cranberry beans.

We dug about 250 pounds of Red Pontiac and Kennebec potatoes today and got those in the back room in crates, along with a couple dozen butternut squash. The garden still has leeks, collard greens, kale, some golden beets, carrots, brussels sprouts and red cabbage. The pole barn is holding a 5 gallon bucket of mixed sweet peppers and another one about half full of mixed hot peppers that will be dehydrated, we've had a couple of cold nights so I had to pick the peppers and eggplants, the tomatoes I just gave up on and let the frost have the rest!

Still no canning company here, so I'll just add 7 quarts of kidney beans, 7 quarts of cranberry beans and 4 quarts and a pint of beef stock!
