Oops, I missed Tuesday’s post! No, I didn’t, as I was thinking about it all the day long.
I did a little grocery shopping, early in the day. I spent $50 for 41 meals for me (for the meats). I picked up ground round, chicken thighs, rack of ribs, hotdogs, and 4 lbs of Nettles link sausage.
Next on my list for the day was to cook up that 7-lbs of ground chuck and then can it in pints for 75 minutes in the pressure cooker. Afterwards I canned up the peaches in a water bath canner. I just drained the peach juice and heated it up for a couple of minutes (about 4) as I did not want to do the hot jar hot water canning method as I cheated and used my pressure canner water that was boiling hot and I added cold water to be able to cover the jars of peaches with as there was hardly any siphoning from the meat jars. That means clean water.
By the way, I used the barely warm peach juice to fill up the jars that I ladled the peaches into (1-inch headspace) always. Put those jars into the water and waited for the rolling boil so I could set the timer.
So I needed to do warm water and warm jars on this water bath canning of the pint peaches from the #10 can. I was using my pressure canner as a water bath canner (NO LID). Once the water started boiling, I set the timer for 15 minutes. As this was water bath canning for the peaches, I just lifted out the jars with tongs and set them on a towel on the counter beside the stove. And listened for the sweet pinging sounds, which started happening after 5 minutes of time, rolled by.
Please no canning haters or by the ball canning book only! I started out around 40 years ago by the ball book but now since I have been canning for so many years and no one has died or gotten sick in all this time. I know what is safe for me, even if it is 3 years in the jar or even longer.
Next, it was time to do my hair, which took about 2 hours of my time.
So. I was thinking of the Blog, but for once I had an extremely busy day which was a very nice day! So, please forgive me for being a day late! Connie B. #CONNIEBRECIPESWISDOMFORPENNIES
