Did my green beans and got 8 pints off first picking. Finally got a pressure cann er that works on wife’s induction. Only bought a 10qt. it hold 4 pints at time. Has a nice heavy stainless steel bottom. A must for induction. Wife wanted the smaller size for other things to just cook . It’s lite enough for her to handle. I don’t pressure to many things anyway.

RE: Stop Lurking and JOIN!
I just turned 70 years old and let me say the learning never ends. There’s some great cooks on this site. I pick up something all the time to try.

Smoked Kielbasa
Just made signature smoked kielbasa using the recipe on package,except added 1/2 cup jalapenos chopped in a 10# batch of 70/30 deer and pork fat.
Yum, taste great had a good amount of spice even without the peppers. Thinking next time to add a whole cup of peppers,we like it spicy. Kinda like summer sausage. Smoked in the vertical smoker as instructed.
Will definitely buy again.!! -
First pickled Bush beans
Boy season slipped upon me fast, wasn’t quite ready for it. I kept them in the frig. 4 or5 days vacuumed sealed so I ended up with a few wrinkles in them but they will be just as tasty. I’m sure they will go with something I’ve yet to smoke.
They got a little cayenne,mustard seed,dill,salt,and garlic clove in them. -
Hatch and Hatch
Now that the temperatures have cooled here in SE TX. I decided to make some hatch brats. I had bought some Boston butts while they were on sale for 99cts a lb.
Impossible to find that price today. Mixed my pork and 3 #s pork fat with some late last Decembers deer back strap 4 lbs.
Got my wife to peel and blend about 15 large fresh frozen hatch chilies to add, along with about 3 # high temp cheddar cheese. I mixed the 25 #s by hand. Stuffed in pig intestines mostly and a few lbs. bulk. They came out with a good kick but not overpowering. Fantastic on the grill.!!!
