I currently have 6 more quarts of that awesome pulled pork a rattling away on the stovetop at 15# pressure. For those that have not done this, it is a good survival skill to have for preparedness. Like any other skill, a pile of equipment with out overcoming that steep learning curve regular practice and to keep your skills current... is not helping much.

My goal this garden year it to increase canning what I’ve done, to increase my list of recipes in my inventory on the shelves, and to build some solid shelves for my storage.
