July 3

Yet another gorgeous day. Kodiak is spoiling us. Right away Ginger and I started canning the remainder of the bone broth before it went bad and pickled some vegetables. 

We canned the bone broth using a pressure cooker. The broth was warmed up and canned and then the cans were placed in the pressure cooker. This heats up the cans using steam to disinfect them and preserve them. The vegetables were chopped up and then placed in a pickling brine and pressure cooked as well. 

Canned bone broth.

This took until noon when I went to work out. In the afternoon I weed whacked the remainder of camp and raked up the debris. In the afternoon Ginger and I realized we needed to leave very early in the morning so we started getting things ready to go for town. For dinner we made mac n’ cheese from scratch and salad. Because of our early start tomorrow, its an early bedtime for me!
