I made beef bone broth on friday

Last week, I made turkey bone broth. Usually, I freeze it, but this time I pressure canned it. It's down in the basement now, on a shelf.

This time, it has NOT gelled. Is this due to the high heat of pressure canning? Anyone here know? I wanted to save the room in the freezer, but not if canning it wrecks the broth.

That’s right it’s that time of year again. Fruit tree pruning. I usually dread that but I did get a new tool a couple years ago that makes it so much easier!

Learned something new! I had no idea that fruit trees were pruned in the winter

I had the same result when I canned bone broth. I have no room in my freezer. I don't know if it wrecks it. I sure hope not

Bone broth is liquid in the boxes in the stores.

If that is good why would your bone broth be bad?

True! I hadn't thought of that.

Ummmm.... maybe it's just because it was different from what I've gotten before. I'll be using a jar to make soup or chili soon.

Hi all it’s been busy here,
On the bone broth- I have found with chicken , if it was a low fat , cartridge bird and I didn’t boil it long enough 4+ hours it doesn’t jell
Boy we have had the monsoon rain here in kitsap county,, everything is saturated soggy— my chicken run over hang is starting to smell — I scoop it everyday- i have turned it but things are just to wet..
So I am looking at ways to cut the ammonia smell before it gets toxic—

There are a number of ways to lower levels of ammonia in the coop, starting with cleaning stalls and run-ins on a regular basis (no matter how cold your fingers may be!). The liberal application of chicken coop bedding, such as Koop Clean, in the coop and nesting boxes effectively eliminates ammonia. Sweet PDZ, the active ingredient in Koop Clean, is made from zeolites and effectively neutralizes the ammonia gases. In addition to these measures, keeping the coop well ventilated will also aid in your chickens’ respiratory health (but make sure that they do not catch a chill!).

Good Morning, Happy Monday,
Up at 4am tended to the coop, fed the dogs and made coffee. I am just so surprised how warm at it is again this morning.
6:30 now, my coffee cup is empty and I need to go do my devotional reading and Bible study.
Then its laundry, mixing up bread to be baked, cooking some beans for our lunch this week, tilling the chicken run ,tilling/ feeding the garden bed & cutting back any dead stuff, 3pm get dinner started, dusting, bathrooms, vacuum, and clock out, hahahahaha
