We have the Emerald Ash Borer also. You can't move any wood out of the state.

Got that right guess I am not aware of that happening here

We could pretend we didn't read all of this but, that wouldn't make the problem go away.

 

[pennyJo1960]

Your right there Diva just we need to look and save our earth

They are cutting all ash here it's on like a 'hit list'. I think their thought is cut what is good now, deal with re-establishing them after we learn how to deal with the borers.
I tell you what is surprising, American Chestnut, coming back big time here. Guess it stays dormant in the ground, very old roots until it gets disturbed, logging here has brought up all sorts of chestnut and they are inoculating them for disease.

Ok Made my Cranberry Clementine sauce.... The clementines were stingy with their juice... Squeezed four and got one table spoon... So I used orange juice instead. Then i Sliced up the skin of one clementine really small and put that in the sauce...

It made a half pint of Cranberry sauce.... With a little extra for taste tests... Really good.

I did that while picking the meat off the bones i used for Broth... it was done in just a couple hours so the meat wasn't completely used up... I will put that in the dressing after a quick chop.

My teeny turkey half was too small to put in the roaster... So I put it in my dutch oven... Its still defrosting in the oven in the refrigerator... Frozen solid it was small enough to fit. Lots of meat on it though. Probably a young hen.

I still have to skim the fat off the broth but I wanted to reduce it a little today. I have one of those fat separators that has a bottom drain... then once thats cone I have some butter muslin to run it through to make it clearer. Then I jar up what I dont use and run it through the pressure canner.

I will do a second batch before Thanksgiving I have some Chicken that needs a job. The stuff is great for making soups and Using with beans when you are canning...

Dealing with this little stock pot I realize now that I need a pot filler. If I want to do bigger batches. And a pot with a drain...
