A BUSY DAY ...

Yesterday I got up early and turned the kitchen into an assemble line ... I had a big pot of ham stock, bowls of cut vegetables (onion, carrots, celery, red and green peppers),  a pot of partly cooked chili con carne, spices and a very big cabbage.  Fortified by a big cup of chaga tea I set out to get to work
I shredded the cabbage



and I filed jars with beans (Ben's beans style). I used a 2lb. bag of navy beans. after cleaning I put a scant cup in each quart jar, topped with boiling water to 1 inch, put on lids and rings, then pressure canned @ 90 minutes 10PSI.   This made 6 quarts for about $1.70


Here is the result at the end of the day.



From left to right Cole Slaw, Navy Beans, Bed Beans, Pinto Beans, Chile Con Carne and Ham bean soup.
