WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[smackiesmommy]

ok I have a question and it may be a stupid one but I am new to all of this. I make Brunswick stew pretty often...I was wondering if I can Can it to put back for later insted of having to pull out the crock pot all the time. Does anyone know how?

Depends... If it's really really thick, it's not suitable for preservation in jars. But you can always can it and thicken it later. You could throw in raw meat chunks, beans, etc, then shread the meat and smash a few beans when you re-heat it.

What I make isn't super thick.

You can definitely can stew, just don't put any flour or other thickener in until you open it

Canning chili without beans is easier than canning chili with beans--just make up your usual recipe and process at the correct pressure for your altitude for 75 minutes (pints) or 90 minutes (quarts). If you add beans, leave it watery and undercook the beans--they'll expand and suck up the extra juice in the jar.

Pickled eggs usually aren't canned, no idea on the rest, sorry.
