Started Canning

We got out the Pressure canner and started doing some Canning.  I had a 9# ham that we got in an After Christmas sale for like .15 cents a pound. It has been taking up a good sized part of my Freezer. I chopped it up and canned it in 1/2 Pint jars. Everything worked out fairly well. The only mistake/do over that I will do next time is chop the ham rather than chunk the ham. Live and learn. I canned up 13 jars of Pickles this morning. Tonight (after they cool) I will find out if it worked.

As a garden Update, its too hot. Everything but the Beets and the Cucumbers is dead. Missouri in August is just Brutal.
