- One of my new favorites is canning cream soup bases. You
don't use milk, of course. But what I do, is saute whatever I am using for flavor (onion, celery, mushrooms, asparagus, etc.). Divide the flavor between jars, pints, about 1/3 full. Then make a roux with flour and butter, adding chicken stock to make a VERY thick white sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. You should be able to cut it. Fill jars to 1" head space and pressure can 45 minutes at 11 pounds (for my altitude). When the time comes to use them, add 2 cups milk for soup or 1 cup plus a bit more for a sauce. It's VERY, VERY good, and you have put up maybe 6 pints for the same cost as two cans of Cambells. | |
