Another day of repetition around here. Today, I began putting up the second large stock pot of turkey bone broth and some leftover turkey meat. It feels good to put a bit of quality food back in the pantry for use later. I like that I know what goes into my jars, where I might not be entirely certain when I purchase products.
Today’s tally is 15 quarts (actually 13 quarts and 4 pints, but it all adds up the same) of turkey bone broth and 5 pints of turkey meat that was packed tight with a bit of bone broth added in to fill the jars. Not too shabby, if you ask me.
It turned out to be a lovely day to work on canning chores. Hubby’s car requires a new fuel pump that has been ordered, so he needed to use my van to go to work today. Being at home allowed me plenty of time to cook and chop and process with minimal interruptions.
I still have more bone broth to process tomorrow at some point. Maybe a 7 quart canner load, more or less. But, it will wait on low heat overnight until it is time to get started.
My lovely cousin gifted me with 5 big bags of collard greens from her food co-op this week and I will get those ready for the freezer. It’s time to get off of my sore, broken feet for tonight and it can wait a few hours more.
All in all, a good productive day that has included this blog post and the start of an article for my magazine editor and a mad search for a previous one I had written (she found it first, thank goodness).
What have YOU been up to today?
Till next time,
