What are you canning now?

Us too on the chicken and stock. I wish I had some deer meat to process but I can't get my husband to go hunt any more. Sigh.

Why don't you go?. I go hunting without my DH some times , and got deer.
Now ,last week we corned some and canned it, great stuff.

Yep! When the menfolk get past the age to hunt or can't due to work schedules, the women folks around here usually take to the woods for a deer or two. We like to give the men every chance to do what they are going to do, but if they put in too little effort or can no longer do the do, we take up bow or gun and bring home the meat. We've been doing all the gutting, skinning and processing for years around here anyway, so why not the initial killing of the animal too?

Cookies!

Layer cake mix and various ingredients in a quart jar, slap a recipe label on it and you have cookies in a jar. Most recipes only need the recipient to add eggs and oil or butter.

Have half a dozen so far. Need to make a bunch more as Christmas is approaching rapidly.

Love it!!! Around here, more and more people are of the Bambi thinking-- making game management more difficult. They don't like all the goose poop but get up in arms when hunters are brought in to fix the problem. Great use for all that meat as far as I'm concerned.

Hubby doesn't want me to can anything, just use up what we have since we are moving cross country this late winter/spring. But I am itching to get my canner out and can something up! Maybe when he moves in December, I will can up some chicken soup for him to eat at his "bachelor pad". He probably won't complain about that! lol!

If you are WyoDreamer, are you moving to Wyoming?

I'm originally from Wisconsin, moved to Wyoming for hubbies job, and now his job is taking us back to Wisconsin. Dreamer because that is who I am, I dream of having a fantastic garden and I dream of having a flock of chickens.

I dream of having a big ole barn full of chickens.

Anyone can Gumbo?
I found a recipe for Sausage and Chicken Gumbo and I made it using Andouille sausage, it was really good. I also subbed zuchinini for the okra - cause I can't stand okra. Just ate the last of it out of the freezer last night, we were impressed with how well it froze and reheated. The recipe makes a huge pot and there are only 2 of us, so we got 3 suppers from it. Do you think I could pressure can it next time I make it?

With DH moving, I think it would be easier if I canned it in pints and he could eat it as needed. I hate trying to store anything in the freezer section of a frost free refrigerator and that is all he will have for the next 6 months.
