TATTLER REUSABLE LIDS USAGE

Today I used the Tattler E-Z Seal Reusable Lids .  They were very easy to use.  The only thing I have to do is get use to one more step.  I have been canning for years and the regular lids are one piece.  I kept wanting to put the seal and then the ring on.  I kind of laughed each time I did it.  Told myself  we sure do get use to doing things the same over and over.  I am sure I can teach this older lady new procedures.

This is the applesauce I canned using the Tattler E-Z Reusable Lids  The ones on the right were done with a pressure cooker and the left with a water bath.  So the lids worked great in both methods.  You most likely notice that the jars on the right are whitish  color.  That is because of our hard water.  I will wash that off tomorrow when they have sat the night undisturbed.

I would highly recommend these lids and the great part is you can reuse them.

CANNING LEFT OVER RED DELICIOUS APPLES

Hi you all

Today we got a lot of things carried out to the yellow kitchen to start canning the apples my dear hubby acquired.

My hubby went to town last week late in the day.   He goes right by the food bank.  Outside was a huge box full of apples and oranges.  When they are there late in the day, they had given out to all that came that Wednesday.  They are left to anyone that wants them.  So dear hubby brought home 12 bags of Red Delicious Apples and 12 bags of Oranges.  

My hubby and I started canning the apples today.  He cut them up and I cook them so they will go into our old Oster machine sieve.  Still works and I have had it since the 1980's.   My Dear Father in Law bought it to help me out.  He loved to grow a garden and I loved canning.  I put up food for my Father and Mother in- law as well as our family of hubby and 3 kids.

My stove is working like a dream for canning.  Dear Hubby adjusted the gas and away we went starting on those yummy apples.  

This is all we got done today, with having to get it all set up and things carried out to the yellow kitchen.

 I also used my new Tattler lids.  So far so good.  I sure will be glad to be able to reuse them.

There is no preservatives or sugar in this applesauce.  It sure did taste yummy when I tasted it.  Will sure be good on pancakes and also in baking.

KITCHEN FINISHED

The kitchen is clean and finished and ready to go.  Below is pictures of the kitchen.  I am excited to get started.

This is the view from the left.  This Island is so large and will be so useful in food preparation.

This is the view from the right.  

There are two sinks with a lot of space between them.  The window looks out on our steer Red and our 3 piglets.  We have not named them as they are all black and can only tell a difference between them by their size.  It is fun watching them play together.

I truly love this old stove.  I had it refurbished in 2001.  Hope you enjoyed my tour.
