Another 7 quarts of soup in the cooker. Today I used left over pork roast, added mixed dried beans, chicken / pork broth. Precooked beans before putting into jars. Love knowing I have 7 nights of food put aside for this winter.
Next I want to find a good recipe for chilli beans to put up.
I ended up with 5 quarts of broth used 1 for canning chicken meat. The steam juicer is awesome. I got the style with a spigot instead of a rubber hose to drain off the juice.

Hi Perchie - Following this thread.
I started canning again after moving to our acreage. In the last year we've lost power for over a week twice. This spurred me to put up food for the next time we loose power.
I do water bath and pressure canning. In fact put up 18 pints of dried bean mixture...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes. New to chickens. Have not purchased any as of this time.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
None at the moment. I'm waiting on the old man to build the coop before I jump in and make a purchase. I want a coop big...
