1/4 tsp salt

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2/3 cup butter melted

1 and 2/3 cup all purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingredients.  Bake in loaf pan at 325° for 45-50 minutes.

Canning Beef

Good morning everyone! I hope y’all are having a good day. On Thursday, we decided to can some beef at Jess’s. We had so much fun. For information purposes, it takes 2 lb. of beef to fill a qt jar. I took my electric canner over and we used it. I think she really liked using it and may be wanting to get one for herself.

We did 5 qts.

I absolutely love this electric canner!

We also had a great helper. John Luke packed the beef into the jars for us. We call the thing he is using a chaucer. My dad whittled this for my mom probably 80 years ago. I love having this to use. So many good memories!

God bless!

Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup

Good morning everyone! I hope y’all are having a great day. It is a beautiful day here. The snow is coming down so pretty. I decided it was a great day for making homemade soup and canning it.

This time I actually keep up with the ingredients that I put in it.  Here is the recipe:

4 to 5 lb ground beef, 2 qts home canned tomato juice, 1 qt home canned stock, 4 beef bouillon cubes, 1 32 oz bag frozen southern style hash brown potatoes,  1 28 oz bag frozen corn, 1 28 oz bag frozen mixed vegetables, 1 12 oz bag frozen onions, 2 14.5 oz cans petite diced tomatoes,  2 15.5 oz cans pinto beans, 2 heaping tsp minced garlic, 1 qt water, salt and pepper to taste.

Brown ground beef. Put all ingredients into large stockpot. This amount fills my 10 at stockpot to the top. Heat soup up then put in jars.

Yields 10 qts of soup. Pressure can for 90 minutes.
