WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

I don't have a patch...BUT...Ball canning bk says you can raw pack, 1" headspace, salt and hot water...@10# for 30 min pints or 40 min qts. They suggest 1/2 tsp salt in pint & 1 tsp qts. Also, can blanch then can, same way. Guess depends on how soft you want end product to eat. Of course. Hot jars to start.😊

We never canned pickled asparagus because my uncle always had some done each year and gave everyone some.

I was eating on some last night.

First batch of pork chunks and the rest of the taco soup are finished. Second batch is pints instead of quarts. More beef patties, the last of the pork chunks and some Purple Dove beans!

That's it for the canning for a while. Stick a fork in me - I'm done, lol!

Ive canned ground beef cooked and packed raw then canned and its turned out great. I put the cooked beef in a strainer and pour boiling hot water over it to get as much fat off it as possible then stuff it in the jars and pressure can it.
I use it mostly for spaghetti or chili and so far its been fine.

Do you top off the meat in the jars with water or broth before you can it?

It makes its own juice. The most I put in if any water is about 2 tablespoons.
I made some cooked beef with onions for spaghetti but mostly just plain and add atuff later.

Ummm, the wife called me from the grocery store yesterday afternoon to let me know sliced mushrooms are on sale.

SHE wants to try canning them herself today!

@FarmerJamie I wish I had half the energy you and your wife have for canning. I get tired doing one batch!
