I canned 7 more quarts of ground beef. I melted beef fat into tallow as well, but that went back into the freezer.

I canned 18 pints of the seasoned pinto beans. A recipe that Kim_NC shared with us. They all sealed!

jenny, I had googled 'canning forum' so I could research more on meats. A lot of sites popped up for me. Googling will be quicker than me trying to post them. I hope you find one that is helpful.

There are other canning forums if you need more info on canning chicken. I never have enough chickens (maybe 3-5 at a time) worth canning as all we do is process our excess roos that the broodys hatch out. I just breast them out and freeze them. I simmer the rest of the carcass and then I will...

FGG, I cant help you much as far as comparing home canned meats to the stores because I have never bought canned beef before. And this is the first time I canned 'ground' beef. Just had a cow butchered and freezers are packed! So I thought hmmmmmm? I have not popped a jar yet but will soon...

Today I canned 7 qts and 5 pints of ground beef. They all sealed--Whew!! Tuesday will be pinto beans with onions and bacon.

I would compare your recipe to those in the BBB. If the variation is not much different as in spices and liquids, I would use the book as a guide line. I hope this helps. Good luck. Quote:

Terri O, I pressured canned kidney beans and they still seemed firm to us even tho the skin split during the processing. I too, like to have canned beans ready. My next project is to can pinto beans so that I can make my own refried beans. I will do the soak and can like I did with the...

H.C. You can but it is time consuming IMO. I used to use a seive and it took FOREVER! I invested in an average food mill and use it quite often. I don't like seeds in my blackberry or raspberry jelly either. So, it comes in handy for all things. I just find that it works faster for what...

Quote: I have been blessed with a lot of tomatoes as well. i do mine differently and thought I would share. I core, cut out any bad spots, run it thru the blender then mill it. My chickens get the peels and seeds too! Then at that point, I make whatever or freeze it till I have time to cook...

Quote: thanks for your advice. The recipes I have found does not use chicken stock. As mentioned earlier that shouldnt be canned again? I think I would have to make another batch of stock and use that. why does this have to be complicated? i just wanna can my own enchilada sauce. I have...

Quote: the oil was thought of but I keep telling myself there is always a little bit in the beef & chicken stock that I can. Why not the sauce? Most enchilada sauce has you saute onions/garlic in oil (I know that is not much compared to the recipe itself). I'm finding a few info on other sites...

Quote: I never knew that but it makes sense (I think). I have 10 quarts of milled tomato juice in the freezer waiting to be used for something. I could probably get the chicken stock made up now and then make enchilada sauce and can. I got a another call out for help on this enchilada sauce...

HI canners. I just put up some whole tomatoes, tomato this and tomato that (a lot of tomatoes) and pinto beans w/chili sauce. I want to try something different that Im not finding info for. So, I need some opinions please. We just discovered how to make our own enchilada sauce and wondered if...

Calling all pressure canners... My Mother is buying me a new pressure canner for my early birthday present. It will be a back-up for my antique one. She bought a Presto 16 quart canner but this contraption does not have a dial gauge on it. It is called a 'regulator'. It does 5, 10, and 15 pounds...

I need suggestions please. MP helped me get started on my taco sauce (not salsa). Here is what I have done. I milled up 24+ cups of tomato juice, let that simmer(real low, not home all day) for a day and half to cook down. My DD added spices that was to be similar to taco bell. We are not quite...

Quote: I have EVIL pickles this year!!! I go out to the garden and there are a few small ones on there. I go back 24 hours later and they're WAY too big! I've never seen pickles grow that fast. I am now checking every 12 hours... Me too! My cukes are 2-3 weeks earlier this year than...

Okay everyone,,,,,,,,,now that there seem to be more people addicted to this thread, I'm going to ask a favor again. Does anyone have a recipe for taco sauce? Not salsa, not chunky. I want a smooth sauce. My family and I prefer that sometimes when having tacos. I do have a food mill to get the...

I'm honored!! One of my pickle lovers (county cop/neighbor) is wanting me to teach their 7 and 11 year old daughters to can pickles. Since I cannot supply them with enough pickles throughout the year, they want to do it themselves. I've given them the seeds and other information on...
