Every time I try to find the canning forum, it seems there's two separate threads. So...I'm starting this one in hopes that eventually they'll all end up in the same place?
Anyway, had some sirloin chuck roasts that we got on sale so I chopped them into chunks and canned up 16 quarts of vegetable beef soup, and then to fill my 3rd canner full I emptied a bag of northern beans and added some bacon to them (5 quarts) and the last batch is just about done...whew! We absolutely love reaching into the pantry here and grabbing a quart of homemade soup instead of buying those dinky little cans
