What are you canning now?

More apple butter. I thought we were lucky enough to be done canning for the year till a neighbor stopped by and wanted to pay me in apples if I'd butcher a deer for them.

Chicken broth from my chickens I just processed.

I have got to try canning some chicken broth. I make it a lot, freeze it in ice cube trays and then put it in zipper bags. The next time I make a big pot of it, I'll try canning it. When I first joined Backyard Chickens, I was reading all the old threads in recipes & found this wonderful example of making chicken stock: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/146356/chickens-chicken-stock This is the only way I do it now.

That is the way I do it also, I use it all and can it. It is delicious.

how do you make that

I have a big crock pot, but you can do this in a pan
3 baking pumpkins, baked and flesh removed and throw in crock pot or you can use canned
3 cups sugar
3 tbsp Cinnamon
3 tbsp pumpkin spice
pinch Allspice
1 1/2 cups orange juice (for acid0
2 tbsp lemon juice

I let it all cook down together, and I mash mine with a potatoe masher that is the way I like all the different butters I can, or you can puree it
water bath can for 10 minutes with clean, sterile jars.
And Enjoy!!
