Smoked chops!
OK - did a brisket for the first time yesterday and it came out great (to my surprise)! So I was doing some reading and saw you can do chops. Just so happen to have some. So I'm smokin' again today! I was reading about to brine or not to brine. I have a simple little brine that I decided to... -
1st Brisket!
I completely agree about needing to calibrate thermometers. I have all sorts of them I use for different things -- baking, candy making, canning, meat, fridge, freezer, grill, smoker -- you name it! I have a thermometer for it and I check them. But I know my mom never used a thermometer while... -
Hi from New Mexico!

Hi from New Mexico!
I've been cooking & baking for years inside -- and have gotten darn good! Took up home canning several years ago (although I helped Mom do it when I was a kid). I've been cooking on the grill for years, too, but just started getting tasty stuff within the last couple of years. Everyone would... -
Canning Problem
Haven't had much luck in rerunning batches myself. I also found that doubling doesn't always work. If I think something is good enough to make a double of then I'll just make separate batches. There's instructions on the pectin pkg that you can follow for rerunning jelly/jam. Try using the...
