It’s a canning day today! I’m making more salsa by request and Salisbury Steak meatballs for my winter Cantry! It’s a perfect day to be in the kitchen!

Today I am oven canning! No “canner” needed. I used the Martha White mixes. Cornbread, choc chip, strawberry & blueberry muffins. These are single serving as there are only 2 of us in the house and the muffins are an easy grab & go snack with a scoop of ice cream of an evening. The cornbread goes great with all the soups/stews I already have canned for winter! I oven canned 20 jars in 1 hour.

**Mix to package directions
**Pour just enough in the jar so it has room to rise. I usually do 1/4 full.
**Bake to package directions. I put my jars in my roaster pan to transfer in and out of oven easily.
**Have your lids and rings out and ready as they need to go on your jars ASAP once pulled out of the oven. Where pot holder gloves because the jars are super hot!
**The jars will start to seal and once cooled down, they can safely sit in your pantry for up to 2 years! Note: this is considered a rebel canning recipe. Use wide mouth pints or jelly jars.

5 dozen sweet corn vacuum sealed and in the freezer! When ready to eat, just run the cob under water and put into the microwave for 3 minutes. The water steam cooks the corn and the husk will slide right off!

Just a tip that you probably already know that I’m sharing anyway! 😉 Create a foil “bowl” for your veggies and put on top of your Instant Pot rack/trivet. Place your meat on top of the “bowl”. All the juices will run into the bottom of your pot. Once finished, lift the IP rack out and place in your serving dish. Use the juice in the bottom to make your gravy! Delish! ***This is a half chicken with rotisserie seasonings over potatoes, carrots and onions. Recipe link in comments!

Happy Memorial Day! I made one of our favorites today! The only thing different that I do from this recipe is I add a can of ROTEL! Frito Scoops for the win! We call this Hot Corn Dip! Enjoy!

Hot corn dip, a cheesy, melty and delicious way to whip up the perfect appetizer, is hands down the BEST corn appetizer side dish ever!

My Aldi store had baby Bellas on sale for $1.29/8oz. Pkg. It took 2 pkgs to fill a pint. I just cut them in quarters b/c they were quite large. Pressure canned for 45min. I par boiled for 3 minutes first though. Mushrooms for winter!

Pressure canned chicken pot pie filling, water bathed applesauce & nacho cheese! Yesterday was salsa day. I’ve ended up with 40 jars this round. Some to sell and some to put up for winter!

We like cheese sauce. So I bought this(Sam’s Club)….and did this. .64 cents per jar for the same amount of product in 1 Frito can at $3.98/can. Total cost for 14 jar fulls…. $8.98.
Waterbath canned for 20 minutes. Shelf stable for years.

Today I’m canning our winter desserts! These are homemade brownies (2 servings per jar) that will be ready to eat right out of the jar this winter! ❤ We’ll probably add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top and enjoy!

My entire life I thought “canning” was only for jellies and jams. I never EVER thought it was for preserving ALL foods that you are already making for your family! I have been researching HARD for several months and have learned so much! This coming winter…I will be feeding my family with foods that I have canned this spring and summer. From stew, pot roast, brownies, pepper steak, tacos, cherry cheesecake and on and on! Follow me as I will be sharing so much content! Happy canning!
