who cans?

[Admin]

We started canning meat a year ago and am so glad we got into it ;D The stuff is awesome and SOOOOOO handy. The canned chicken and turkey is outrageous.

We canned a lot of taters that we grew and they come out of the jar at the perfect consistency. I had wondered if they would be mushy but they are firm and perfect.

How many swampers can stuff?

Not yet, but I'm planning on starting this year. I'm going to start with a hot water canner for high acid foods.

I have off and on over the years, but I haven't every canned meat, but want to. This past season we blanched and froze plus a little dehydration. This coming season we plan on canning and dehydrating more.

I grew up canning with my folks back when they kept a garden and what not. I'd like to get back into it this year or next.

I started last year didn't do a lot just some taters and pickled okra and a few other things. I'm wanting to do more this year with tomatoes like making sauces and such.

deer meat:

i wash my jars then boil them and the lids in water for about 20 minutes ..

then i add 1 teaspoon of canning salt per quart jar ..
then i pack meat into jar leaving about 1" head space wipe jar lip clean ..






i add the lid to the clean lip then add the ring ..





then i put in pressure canner for 90 minutes @ 10 #








i just shut down the fire after 90 minutes and let the cooker cool ..most jars seal while in the canner ..alway's check for unsealed jars. unsealed jars can be put in the fridge and eat'n in a couple days ....
