Your weather sounds so lovely! We’re inching into the 90s here and will have miserable hot weather by July. Of course, plants do seem to love the heat! (But not me)

Did you find a steal on jars on eBay or something?

I’m canning again! It’s my new favorite hobby. I’m taking all the ham from the freezer and canning it today. Along with some ground beef and some more chicken. 5 jars of ham & 2 of ground beef are in the canner, with 7 of chicken planned for after that. I’m getting a little more confident with each batch, so it’s getting to be more fun.

The jars I’m checking into are from the couple I ran into at Farm and Fleet. I should know if I am going to get them in a day or two. Depends if the price is right.

Got some disappointing news today. The Presto Co. emailed me that my canner is obsolete and there are no replacement parts for it. I’m sure I could get the gauge replaced, as the one on it now looks relatively new. But the gaskets would be another question. Based on the company history online, it would seem my canner is somewhere from the early 1900’s. They changed their name to Presto about 1939 and this canner has the National Pressure Cooker Co. label on it. I should have bought one when they had them on sale at Farm and Fleet when I was there. I could have returned it if this one was going to work out. Now I guess I won’t be canning until I get a new one purchased.
