But I was able to get several packages of meat canned. I jarred the meat up, put it in the pressure canner, and canned it. Two jars broke when I took them out though, probably from overfilling the jars. Learned my lesson about leaving enough headspace. Next time I can meat, I’ll add a little salt and/or spice to see how it turns out. The last batch was pretty good, but a bit bland for eating out of the jar.

It’s been warm over the past couple days, and most of the snow is gone, but the ice remains. I’m sure thankful for the global warming. Hope we get a bunch more, I’d like to start a vinyard out back. Home made wine…
