I just found your blog via The Prepper and am very excited. I love the way you write, just like I am right there with you and of course your content is great. From a happy follower!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! Love your site.
ReplyDeleteHow long do you think they will store?
ReplyDeleteTechnically, if canned stored properly, they can last for many years(5 or more). It is generally agreed though, that after 2-3 years, even properly canned goods will begin to suffer in the flavor and texture departments, even though they are still safe to eat. Never eat anything with a broken seal, or a lid that has "ballooned" up, instead of remaining indented, even if the seal is tight. That's a sure sign of bacterial contamination, most commonly of the Botulism variety.
DeleteI assume you used a pressure canner, but you don't mention how long you processed the jars.
ReplyDeleteI would base it on the directions for pressure canning beef stew, which would have the closest density and low acidity levels. Then, to be safe, I'd add at least 10 minutes to the processing time. It might change the consistency of the finished product a bit, but better safe than sick is my motto. :)
DeleteThis is the info Mama Bear gave in the instructions (I processed these for 90 minutes at 11 pounds of pressure on my dial gauge.) However, better safe than sorry is my motto also. Adding 10 minutes is preferable. Also, remember to consult your Ball Blue Book on canning to find out how many more minutes to add due to your elevation.
DeleteWe routinely can turkey, chicken, meatballs & gravey, potatos, ham(the best) with it's own gravey in the jar, all meats are pressure canned at 15psi for 90 minutes...we are at 1300 ft above sea level. I always use 15 psi cuz I can always shorten the time, but I want that high temp we get at 15 psi...it will kill anything!
ReplyDeleteSo, everything I've read said we are not to include flour in a recipe when pressure cooking. Have you ever had any problems with it?
ReplyDeleteHelp! I can't locate the meal in a jar recipes on your site!
ReplyDeleteI could not find the recipes either.

Kind confused about the milk-does it go in the meat??
ReplyDeleteI figured it out. Canned a third of your recipe and loved it. I haven't actually used any of the stuff I canned yet, but am looking forward to it. I am a little apprehensive about the food police items, but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI dont see the recipes for 100 recipes in a jar
ReplyDeleteWould i be able to make thids w the water bath method??
ReplyDeleteNO! You must use a pressure canner for meat products.
DeleteSorry about the exclamation point...LOl...it should have a period. But seriously speaking, water bath canning is not for meat or meat mixtures of any kind. It would be extremely dangerous to you and your family. Pressure can only.
DeleteNot true! They don't have pressure canners in other countries and Water bath everything safely. Meat is 3 hours.
DeleteAm very interested in your post and knowledge of preserving foods for long term storage of perishable foods.
ReplyDeleteYours is the best source for this type of information that I have found to date!
Thank you very much!

Just opened a jar that was canned in 06/2020 for our supper last night and it was fantastic. My husband, who is very picky, literally cleaned his plate. Gathering the ingredients for another round but this time it will be for the 30 pound batch of meat. I originally did a 10 pound batch as that was what I was able to scare up from visiting 5 stores during COVID... Well worth the time.
