It's been fairly busy the last few days on the homestead.
It's this time of year that we like to prepare for the spring & summer seasons by having a number of food items ready for quick meals after a long day of gardening out in the sun.
Today we are canning chilli.
Here you can see we have 6 pounds of lean ground beef with onions and peppers cooking down while the beans simmer for a half hour. This should make 18 pints which will be handy when hungry!
Yesterday we canned beef stew. We made 7 quart jars. After cooling overnight, these jars are just waiting to be rinsed and dated:
On Saturday we canned 17 jars of chick peas. These are great for making hummus or adding to soups!
We also spent Thursday and Friday canning beans. On Thursday we canned beans in tomato sauce, and on Friday we canned beans in molasses for a total of 34 pint jars.
Maybe we'll take tomorrow off! What's happening on your homestead this week?
Amazing my friend. I love the way you two think.

Woow if you have done much this week, all those packaging are for your consumption? I like to pack the sauces because then it is very easy and fast to make the food and more when it is so busy I hope to finish soon @brimax

Your homesteader's pantry is getting quite the bounty! Look at all those fabulous jars! Yes, yes... A little jealous here.
Are the chick peas pressure canned or a water bath?

Chick peas are low acid and must be pressure canned.

Hello my friend how are you, they have been quite busy, I like the way they store their food after a long day of work nothing better than homemade food, in Venezuela we do not do that. They do not have a free day but afterwards they will have it? although in a farm it is not only to cook you also have to take care of the animals, the plants and many other things, but all that effort is worth it because apart from keeping them active, they have their farm very well maintained. I tell you that I get up very early to cook, I take my daughter to school, I go out shopping for food, clean the house, clothes, do a lot in the house, but rest a little on weekends. It would be great to live in that place and prepare for each season of the year

Excellent my friend, you can see that they have had a lot of work all these days in their wonderful farm and this packaging of food in this way seems to me a fantastic idea, since as you comment it is perfect for the time that we are full of work and Let's take a moment to eat, we just have to take the container to warm it up and ready we eat fast and easy to return at work. It is a brilliant idea @brimax friend and in these times it is more perfect to do things like these for the spring season. That ground meat that you show us is very tasty, perfect to accompany it with some pieces of crusty bread, and with 18 pints without any doubt you will be very useful and they will last you several days.

The jars will keep for a very long time as well not requiring electricity if we had frozen some food items.

I see that they have had a lot to do besides their things on the farm. I hope they show us some of their things that they do out there. It's a lot of food, I like the food so its flavor intensifies with the passing of the days, now that they do All that they take to the freezer?

This is why we can our food as much as possible, so we aren't dependant on electricity.
