May 9 Planning Session

Diane and Janet did not can at the May 9, Thursday night production canning session. Newsflash: the asparagus are not here yet. Next week will be asparagus.  
We taste tested the chocolate syrup we produced last week. It is perfect. We considered adding cherry syrup into the chocolate syrup for chocolate/cherry syrup.
We talked about how to improve the consistency and flavor of the pork and beans produced at last weeks’ session. They are good and the sauce should be thicker and a little spicier and maybe add molasses to the recipe. We considered leaving out the bacon to make vegetarian beans. We analyzed our production flow. Adding separators during the pressure canning of the beans will double the output. The next time beans are scheduled for production canning we aim to double the output.
We planned some upcoming Thursday night canning sessions. Next week asparagus season will be open.
Rhubarb & strawberries are soon to follow. The production sessions we planned include pickling, canning, and pie filling.
Stay tuned.
