I just love your canning shelves! And, your freezers! I’m jealous. I have 1 upright freezer and would love another one. You are set up very well for this challenge. Last weekend, I defrosted my big freezer and while doing so I logged everything on a pantry challenge inventory sheet from Suttons Daze. It feels good to know exactly what we have. I’m keeping that sheet on the freezer and as I pull something, it gets crossed off. It was tedious and my fingers were numb….😂….but, it makes it so much easier to plan meals. Thanks for sharing your pantry!

I'm curious, I come from a large family of hunters. I've tried a lot of things, but what does moose taste like? Do you prepare it like Venison?
@SnowGardener5 сағат бұрын
Yes we do. It is richer than elk, antelope or venison. My favorite wild game is elk but we were so happy to get the moose. We won't be hunting any time soon with my hubby's schedule, but I am hopeful I can talk a friend out of some of their elk. Hahahah! Hunting is huge in our area.

Hello! Homemade vanilla is super easy, get 3-4 whole vanilla beans, slice down the center of bean and place in vodka and let it get to know each other... :)

It's been one of the things I have always thought of doing, but haven't done it. Super excited to try my friends. I do love my vanilla from Mexico...it is so yummy. I am not going to need any vanilla for a few years. LOL

Haha, I love that one! If you watch my pantry tours from the past couple years that freezer was packed to the top! I am so happy we have gone through so much of what was in there. We still need to work on more and then I can restock what we actually eat.

I love your canning shelves! If you haven’t canned jam before I would just use a box of Sure Jell and follow the recipe on the box. Then water bath it for 10 minutes or 15 minutes if your altitude is over a 1000 feet. And something my grandchildren love is strawberry rhubarb jam. They love the tang that the rhubarb gives the strawberries. They also love when I make homemade pop tarts with it. That would use up some of your rhubarb too. Sure Jell has a recipe for it on their website. I like making strawberry preserves. It’s just 2 cups of strawberries, 2 cups of Domino sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice and cook it until it doesn’t run on a frozen plate. Or you can use a candy thermometer. I think the temperature is 220 degrees. Have a great night!

Thank you so much Mary! I have canned jam, just not strawberry as I normally do my grandma's freezer jam. I have done raspberry freezer jam as well as strawberry rhubarb freezer jam. I just need to get those strawberries and rhubarb out of the freezer and get making jam! LOL Thank you so much!

Love when my husband cooks or grills for us or guests. Breakfast for dinner is an occasional enjoyable switch for us. Crocheting was an enjoyable hobby for me many years ago when I was raising our young family. I’m now a great grandma and it’s challenging for me to do such fine motor control activities. I liked seeing all your snow. Stay safe and warm. Thx for sharing your life with us! Susan
