Ingredients

1 pound chicken gizzards, rinsed
2 stalks celery, cut into chunks
1 onion, cut into chunks
2 eaches bay leaves
1 ½ teaspoons celery salt, divided
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
3 cups oil for deep frying
1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1
Place the chicken gizzards, celery, onion, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of celery salt into a saucepan, and pour in enough water to cover the gizzards by 1 inch. Bring the gizzards to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Pour in more water during simmering, if needed, to keep gizzards covered. Remove the gizzards to a bowl, discard the celery and onion, and reserve the broth.
Step 2
Season the gizzards with 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt, the seasoned salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine well. Pour 1/3 cup of the reserved broth over the seasoned gizzards, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more, stirring often. (Save or freeze the remaining broth for another use, if desired.)
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 4
Place the flour in a plastic bag, and pour in the gizzards with their seasoning. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat the gizzards with flour. Gently lower about 1/4 of the gizzards per batch into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Drain the gizzards on paper towels, and serve hot

Are you looking for a unique way to preserve meatloaf and enjoy its savory goodness even when it’s not freshly cooked? Canning meatloaf might just be the answer. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of canning meatloaf, ensuring that it remains safe to eat and delicious for an extended period. Let’s dive into the details!

Ingredients

Before we get started, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need for canning meatloaf. These ingredients are essential for creating a flavorful and safe canned meatloaf:

INGREDIENT	QUANTITY
Ground beef (hamburg)	10 lbs
Garlic cloves	3 (no more, to avoid overwhelming flavor when pressure-canned)
Onion	1/2
Light brown sugar	2-3 tablespoons
Tomato ketchup	1 and 1/4 cups
Saltine crackers	1 plastic package (from a box of saltines)
Parsley	1 tablespoon
Yellow mustard (powder)	1 teaspoon
Pepper	1 teaspoon
Salt	2 teaspoons
Eggs	8

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s proceed to the instructions.

Instructions

Canning meatloaf requires careful preparation and the right steps to ensure its safety and flavor are preserved. Follow these instructions:

1. Prepare Your Jars and Lids: Begin by preparing your canning jars, lids, and bands following the instructions for canning principles. Keep the lids submerged in hot water to soften the rubber seal.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all the listed ingredients. Make sure to mix them thoroughly to create a well-blended meatloaf mixture.
3. Pack Tightly: Pack the meatloaf mixture tightly into clean canning jars. You can do this by adding a little at a time and gently stomping it down to eliminate air pockets. Leave about 1 and 1/4 inches of headspace at the top of each jar.
4. Wipe Rims: To ensure a proper seal, wipe the rims of the jars to remove any residue. Apply the bands to the jars, screwing them on just finger-tight. This allows air to escape while preventing liquid or pieces from getting through.
5. Start Canning: Place the jars in the pressure canner with cold water to prevent shock. Turn on the heat and close the canner tightly without the weight. After steam escapes for about 10 minutes to create a vacuum, put the weight on the “nipple” to increase pressure.
6. Maintain Pressure: Let the pressure reach 10 psi before turning down the heat. Maintain this pressure for a minimum of 90 minutes. Ensure that the pressure stays constant throughout this time.
7. Cool Down Naturally: After canning, turn off the heat and let the canner cool down naturally. Do not remove the weight immediately; let it sit for at least 24 hours before checking the seals.
8. Check the Seals: Test the seals by removing the bands and lifting the jars by the lids. The lids should not come off; they should be concave, indicating a proper seal.
9. Enjoy Your Canned Meatloaf: When you’re ready to enjoy your canned meatloaf, you might find that the juice has solidified. To make it easier to slide the meatloaf out of the jar, reheat it slightly in the microwave or hot water.
10. Storage Tips: Store your canned meatloaf in a dark, cool, and dry room. If a jar doesn’t seal properly and the lid pops up, refrigerate it and consume the contents within two weeks. Once you open a sealed jar and have leftovers, remember to place the lid back on and consume the leftovers within two weeks as well.

SO simple and satisfying 🎄 !! These peanut butter cup Christmas trees would make a great dessert or treat, and can even be wrapped up to give as a party favour! Definitely a keeper !!

YOU’LL NEED :

– Creamy peanut butter: 1 cup
– Unsalted butter, melted: ¼ cup
– Brown sugar: 2 Tablespoons
– Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoon
– Salt: ¼ teaspoon
– Powdered sugar: 2 cups
– Chocolate chips: 10 to 12 oz. (I always use half of semi-sweet and half of milk chocolate, but you can also use chocolate chopped in small pieces if desired)

PREPARATION :

1. In the beginning, line 8 x 8 inch dish with parchment paper, and leave the paper overhang the sides to easily lift it later; set aside.

2. Pick a mixing bowl and stir in peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar vanilla and salt together, until sugar dissolve then mix in powdered sugar gradually.

3. Afterwrads, you’ll want to press the mixture into prepared dish, smoothing the top with spatula or simply press it with your palms so to flatten into about ½ inch thick layer.

4. Make sure to place it in the freezer until firm enough for cutting.

5. Now that the mixture is firm enough, you can line a tray with parchment paper; set aside.

6. Then, using Christmas tree cookie cutter, ct out the trees and place them on the tray. Immediately place them in the freezer for 45-60 mins, or until completely firm.

7. At this point, you should melt the chocolate and line another tray with parchment paper.

8. Once done, dip each tree into melted chocolate with a fork to cover completely. And please tap the fork gently to drip of the excess of chocolate. (The trick is to take just a few trees at the time from the freezer, beacause the peanut butter mixture softens really fast at the room temperature, which make it easier to work with the firm trees!!!)

9. The chocolate covered Christmas trees should be placed on the parchment paper lined tray and refrigerate until chocolate has set.

10. All that need to be done now is to store in the fridge or freeze for longer storage.

Recipe Notes :

The number of Christmas trees you’ll made depends on the size of your cookie cutter. I made 18 since mine was about 1 ¾ x 2 ¼ inches. One more thing, instead of wasting batter, you may pick up leftovers, kneed, press with your palme; end result is you will be able to cut out at least 2-3 more trees.
