Pork broth. Funny, DD talked me into pressure canning broth, and I started this last January. She told me that "the woman of the house" always kept a broth pot going over the fire in the fireplace and would put any old meat, bones and vegetables into it.
I started This broth last Thursday!! So it's been cooking in a crockpot for 5 days!!!
VERY rich looking.
I had a package of thin pork chops. DH didn't want them bc they were thin.
DD didn't want them, either.
I decided to cook them up in my crockpot with onions and potatoes, then I intended to eat one and then package up the rest for my lunches. I took out the remaining 4 porkchops and put them on a plate in my microwave to cool off and not be chewed on by any cats.
Then...I went to bed.
Dogs ate good on Friday!!
I saved the potatoes and some saucy bits for the dogs for later, then I took all of the pork bones back to the crockpot.
I added older celery, some onions leftover from a hamburger meal and added water.
I Kept Meaning to can this broth over the weekend, but never got to it.
DH wanted me to come to the office yesterday, so I moved the crockpot to the stovetop to cook in a safer place than the counter.
Anyway, I am babysitting the canner and this helps me practice. Can't seem to get the psi to stay at 11--it's at 14psi--still works.
If you have any suggestions as to how to set the burner, I am all ears.
Btw, when I made pork ribs a few weeks ago, instead of cooking them in water for an hour before grilling, I used pork broth and water. It made SUCH a difference in the taste!!
THEN, I took That broth, cooled it down, filled pints and water bath cooked it for the dogs. 7 jars of doggy bliss and none of them smelled like they had gone "off."
I made a chuck roast, following DD's instructions, where I used the crock pot to cook the vegetables in beef broth first, then sear the roast in oil, THEN adding the broth and other vegetables to the bottom of the dutch oven and bake.
Cheap cut of meat. BeYOND delicious!
