    What are you canning now?

    DD found two chicken breasts in her freezer with freezer burn. I took them, cooked them up in my 8 qt crock pot for Eva, left a few bits and today added powdered thyme, powdered onion, scraped up a carrot and added chopped celery. I should make some nice broth by Thursday.
