What was it about the canned meat that you didn't like? The texture or the flavor?

BOTH ! Texture doesn't usually bother me but I didn't like any kind of meat that was canned and they canned just about every kind from ground beef to pig parts.
My grandma canned everything. Most of it was great. They had an outbuilding made of sandstone that my grandma quarried himself and then used the stones to build it.
Anyway its sole purpose was to store all of the canned goods. I loved gettting to go in there when I was kid and help pick out jars of canned goods for supper.
Everything from apples to to zucchini. The meats tasted funny to me and for some reason grossed me out.
They even canned fish. Double Yuck.
My favorites were the tomatoes and the saurkraut. I have never had saurkraut that good since.

Growing up some friends of the family, and summer babysitters, canned alot and their basement was full of rows and rows of beautiful canned goods. They had a huge garden and we had to help snap beans and ect. Yearly they went to PauPaw, Michigan where the best and abundant blueberries grow, and came home with pounds ( like 60 lb.!) Those were fun to pick thru, I love berries and we could eat while we worked. My brothers and I would play for hours down in their basement with their kids. I can vividly remember the colorful rows and shelves. Nothing dare ever happen to any can for fear of the wrath of Momas!

No, not like Chow Chow, like sweet pickle relish but with tomatos instead of cucumbers.

dobies are known to outsmart their trainers, good luck

...

I have loved Dobes ever since I saw the movie "The Doberman Gang" way back in the 70s. It was about dogs that were trained to rob banks. Way cool. LOL

The secret to training them is that they have to live their training from day one and I like to start them as soon as they are weaned. But for this project I would take an older dog.

I remember that movie. They are beautiful dogs, like thorobreds, (sp?)

Yep people heal much better at home, glad to hear that he is doing so well.

I have mom's crocks and I can remember making kraut in the big one. Layer of cabbage, layer of salt and repeat till full. Fill with water and use a plate and gallon jug full of water to keep from floating and cover with cheese cloth to keep out the bugs. I don't remember how long it took but I can remember that it was rinsed and the water was changed a time or three before it was ready.

Mmmmmm fresh kraut, new tators and a little bacon for extra flavor.

I have my Aunt's recipe for Dilly Green Tomatos. They are made with green Cherry Tomatos. I have never canned but wanted the recipe just incase I ever do. They have3 a dill flavor, of course and also garlic.
I have another Aunt's recipe for green tomato relish, so good on hamburgers.

If you will share your Aunt's recipe and NanaKat will share her green tomato recipes and we try the one shared by smithbantam, we ought to be able to come up with several that would be worth finding the time and energy to can.

Greybear makes a great relish that he brought to the last two POOPS. Good stuff, Maynard.

Put one of your game roos with those hens. You should get about half and half NN's from them.

Lynn, I have a large fowl blue/red NNroo that I would be willing to trade for NN chicks whenever you get some. Since the roo originally came from Buckguy, we might need to share some chicks with him also.

Now, we just need a chicken train to get the NNroo to you.
