CANNING


Busy day again today. I wanted to share this picture of our day's work which began at 8:30 this morning.... eight hours later this is what was accomplished. No small feat.... My DH and I have a VERY good friend who is always around when we need some help and we are forever trying to do something to repay him in some small way. He was fortunate enough to have a moose license this year and "Got His Moose BY" { A Newfoundland saying for those who are wondering } . He needed some of it canned and so with US having the canning tools was happy to do this for him.....I'm sure we will get a small taste of it..... :) 50 bottles was the outcome......

I am expecting my son, his wife and their two schnoodle dogs later this evening so I will be busy over the next few days....gladly; however, if I complete my mat I will post a picture of it. It is just about finished......

Hope everyone who is celebrating "Thanksgiving" this weekend, has a Good One...

  1. Happy Thanksgiving!

    What a nice thing to do for your friend. I always think that that type of gesture is the best!

    We are going for a drive today out towards Port aux Port with my mother. She is enjoying her stay and we are enjoying her visit.

    I liked your "thanks" list. Can't wait to see your mat! Any new ideas for the next one?

    I meant to ask about bottling your moose. Do you add anything? I don't like to add salt pork like some do...I tried onion soup mix last year and quite good...

    What do you add in the bottles?

  3. Hi Julie, hope you had a great day with your MOM. The Port au Port peninsula is very beautiful according to my family who lives on the West Coast.

    We just put 3/4 tsp. salt in a 500ml. jar, add the moose meat. This time, we added some onion. We have never added salt pork and onion soup mix sounds delis.....

    Take care...
