What's in the pantry?

[Admin]

Dang, ol Mother Hubbards cubbard is getting pretty bare. I've still got tons of venison left, or should I say Venzin cause that's what ther call it up here . But my garden veggies are running out. Only 5 more bags of frozen greenbeans and 3 bags of broccoli left . Won't be long and I'll be eating storebought . Need a bigger garden I guess. What you guys got left from the harvest?

I'm ordering my pressure canner tomorrow ;D I wanna be ready for turkey season cause I wanna try canning turkey meat. Wouldn't that be alright with mashed taters & gravy?

Do you also have a vaccuum sealer, when you plant your garden , brousel sprouts last a long time with out preserving them, we are scraping the bottom of the freezer , need some warm weather, morels will be a good start this spring. Steve

JC great idea on canning turkey! That would be nice just to warm up and make gravy with the broth! ;D

I am in good shape. I have about 60 pint of stewed tomatoes and tomato juice. Probably 20 pint of green beans. Some corn and broccoli in the freezer. Also frozen peppers. The venison is getting slim. I still have a fair amount of organic chicken. And believe it or not, I still have some keeper tomatoes left from last fall.

It will soon be time for spring greens, 'shrooms, and fish!!!

I really want to try and can some chicken mushrooms this summer.

Keeper tomatoes are an old Burpee Variety. All I do, is pick them in late August/early September and lay them out on a table in the basement. That's it. You hvae to watch them, because they don't all keep that long. You have to eat the ones that start to rot. Last year I ate my last one in mid-April.

Burpee still carries the seed;
