Snowed in and Pigging Out

I should probably consider going back on keto but I sure will miss my pizzas (with real flour-based crust) and curly fries.
Getting Ready to Jam

Ready to make my first batch of blueberry jam in 2022.
Vacuum Sealing Various Stuff
I’m not comfortable unless there’s at least ten pounds of bacon in the deep freeze at all times.
First Time Making Pumpkin Butter
It occurred to me two days after making this that I’d mindlessly water-bath canned the jars simply out of habit. According to the FDA, pumpkin is one of those foods that should never be preserved by canning. Although, in researching recipes, many people pressure can their pumpkin butter and have had no issues. I’m sure this batch is fine but in the trash it goes. The next batch will be refrigerated as is recommended. (Or maybe I’ll pressure can it to see what happens.)
Better the Second Time
