My brother should thank me for taking my night walks. His pig didn't have a heat lamp and its raining hard tonight. Could've ended badly.

From one of the many hams I/we have eaten they get saved/frozen and I cook my ham on a rack, when done throw the baking dish in the fridge and then next day scrape off the fat (for chickens) and freeze the ham juice and collegen underneath for stock or beans.

your starving me. lol

Don't think it is here. Doesn't stop everyone though.

I know what to do. I will make the corned beef in the crock pot then a boiled dinner on the side .

And his piggie is actually going to be my piggie's competition in the show ring....

Oh well. She's too darn cute. Can't bear to see her get pneumonia.

Grandma Art's (cheating) sweet pickles

Start with a quart of (store bought-favorite brand) Kosher baby dills with OUT garlic.
Drain the juice BUT save it
cut/trim the ends of the pickles and then slice into rounds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
put the cut pieces back into the same jar, a
add 2 cups of white sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 SCANT tablespoon of pickling spice
finish filling the jar with left over pickle juice

shake until sugar is dissolved. put back in fridge, Repeat the shaking morning and night for about 3 days.

Leave a week before enjoying
they will keep for years that way IF they last that long.

Fun fact, the pickling spice is the same spice they use to make corned beef.
