Yesterday I bought 30 pounds of ground Angus fine beef
and canned half of it yesterday and will do the rest this morning. I have been canning all our meat. We do not presently have refrigeration so this is the only way I can keep meat, fast foods and vegetables. I have been doing this for two years now and like it so much that even after I get our solar refrigeration
I will continue. When you have meat frozen it does not have the flavor my canned meat has. I think after a period of time the flavor improves so much. Kind of like the fact that leftovers always taste better the next day. I can as much food as I possibly can. From my garden
, my forest
and even from the store. I do pretty good as we use it all up through the winter. This summer I am planning on canning like crazy. I will be buying as much as I can from local farmers, farmers' markets and even the grocery
store before my garden starts producing. Living in New York
state, my garden does not produce the foods I can till later in the summer. I am also going to be dehydrating berries, squash and broccoli this year.

I always can all the broth and juices too. So if I finish with the meat and there is any broth or juice left, I mix it together. Then reheat it and can that too. When I need broth for soups
, stews
or gravies
I can use my own which is so much better than anything store bought.

I am cutting out even more processed foods and making my own. I had already cut out most of them but had a few left. Now I am going to be working on eliminating them also. Buy your own ingredients and mix them up in your kitchen. Give your family good substance that is made with love and caring hands and heart. The manufacturers do not know you or your family. They don't care about what their additives and chemicals do to you. They just want to make you buy it.

I want to be your neighbor so you can teach me to do all this stuff! I'm moving tomorrow LOL
You can't ever stop blogging because eventually I'm going to be able to do all this stuff you write about. I wanted to can this year, but I just don't have the time. I'm hoping to move at the end of the year, so maybe after that I will have time to get serious about this frugal way of living.
