skeptic7.Tonight it's slaw dogs and home cut french fries.
We ate the rest of Brunswick Stew tonight,glad it's gone.
We had burgers on the buns I made this morning. My husband cooked them on the grill, with the temperature at 10* and going down to 0 tonight.
Friday night dinner was the soup I had made earlier in the week and stashed so that when we returned from our trip to Spring Mill, we would have it in the refrigerator.
On Saturday, I made our old standby, Salmon and Couscous, this time with ½ tsp. Penzey’s Forward (a no-salt seasoning). It works nicely.
On Thursday, I made cranberry orange sauce, this time putting in the correct amount of water. On Friday I canned 4 cups of it in half pint jars in a boiling water bath. Three of them sealed correctly the first time around, the last one was processed for a second time and it too sealed correctly. I've done spicy cranberry chutneys before but this is the first time I canned a true cranberry sauce.
I used three pans of boiling water for this. One small sauce pans to boil the lids, a large sauce pan to boil the jars, and the largest stock pot to do the actual canning. I am so glad that I am not doing this in the summer.
