To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:

  • You must preserve the amount of food equivalent to 1 quart (ie: 1 quart jar or 4 half pint jars)


  • To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must provide:
  • A before photo of all of your equipment and ingredients
  • Your recipe of choice
  • A photo of you filling the jars to the proper 'head' height

    Approved submission
    Pressure canning 7 quarts of rabbit bone stock.

    Fill canner with jars and 2 inches of water.

    Let steam for 10 min with lid on but no weight to release any extra air in canner.

    Add weight at 15 lbs and heat up until weight begins to rock and then prossess for 25 minutes.

    Turn off heat and let cool down until all pressure is gone before removing weight ( I let mine sit overnight).

    Remove jars and let sit in non drafty spot to finish cooling down.

    Label and store in a dry environment.

    This BB has been removed from the Sand badge and a new one for pressure canning will be put into Straw.  So this BB is now obsolete.  But Penny is, of course, grandmothered in and can use it to get her Sand badge.  The thread will now be locked to prevent further applications to a BB that is just a figment of our imagination
     
    I'm sure glad that he's gone. Now I can read this tiny ad in peace!
