Canning in the garage



This old gas stove is in the garage.  I use my pressure canner out here because I hate the electric cook top in the house because it cycles off and on, making a steady pressure a pain, I don't like cooking on electric stoves in general and I'm afraid the weight of my canner might break it.  

So I use this marvelous old gal in the garage:




Isn't she wonderful in all her turquoise-ness?!?!  


What's in there you ask?

Well, it's venison!


The color is a bit off from reality, but I'm excited.  I've never canned venison before, so I wanted to try it.  I now have seven quarts of venison on my shelf.

Beautiful stove--what a find!!!

I'm going to set up a summer kitchen in a little 200 sq ft apt I have behind my garage and off my back deck. Hopeful;ly by spring!

I canned some meats this year for the first time. I'll definitely do it again...
