Canned Goods

Today I canned the first batch of tomato juice for the year. This time I tried a different canning method. Usually we boil the jars in a canner, but I didn’t have the time today. I looked up different ways to do it. and there was a baking method. You heat the jars on a cookie sheet at 250 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Then you pour the product in and cap them. Once they are are sealed you turn them upside down so they can seal. I really hope it works out. I’ve already heard a couple of them pop. What’s your favorite way to can? Thank you for stopping by to read my blog ! If you have any canning advice I’d love to hear it. -Lilly

Garden Leftovers

Today I made homemade lasagna with our leftover tomato sauce we canned in 2018.

The sauce started out runny. To thicken it I used some tomato paste, a can of fire roasted tomatoes, and some cornstarch.

We have been in quarantine due to the corona virus, so we break up the meat for separate meals. Half the ground beef went to burgers and the other half I used in the lasagna.

The eggs help bind all the cheeses together! The cottage cheese is optional. You can’t really taste it I think it helps the texture though.
