Sleet is gone. Pig is back on the A-frame. I use my 40 gallon stock pot to heat the water, lined the bed of the gator with a tarp and that became my scalder. I have an old cast iron tub that I want to turn into a scalder, but don't have the equipment (aka a tractor) to lift it and put it in place.What do you heat your water in, something like a stock tank?
Hope your sleet has cleared off Bob!
What, that is some places a fence lizard is called a Granny Hatchet or that our Granny doesn't look like that picture?
Especially since Granny is about a thousand years old, at least once a month she proclaims "today is my birthday"NFC, thank you for the warm welcome and thanks all for the birthday wishes. Im not really 39 you know. That was a few yrs. back.
Time for a tractor! And about 3 burners under the cast iron tub.
should be.... I was very sick the next day... I am going to give it the ole try again today. Jars and eggs are safe in the refrigerator. But I am keeping them in the chill box even after I water bath them. Food safety guide lines say NO to water bath canning pickled eggs. But same guide lines say they will keep in the refrigerator for several months without canning.
I suspect they will be all gone by the time moving day comes.... As it is I will be packing up frozen meat for the trip... Freezer will go in first thing and be reloaded.
Or you can cheat like me and open a can of beets and pour in the juice to add to the pickling brine instead of water. I like them both ways...
Yes, I got the three pieces of plywood on today, and started putting the pieces on the door frame. This coop is for young birds.Hi Cap, I see you are "still building"
Hi Sharron! Been busy quilting.morning cap
the beets i open, when canned, i canned right out of the garden, never store bought
