I love bacon, and heard that there is supposed to be a way to can it by itself!

Oh yeah! I’ve canned bacon. It’s soft, not especially rubbery. You are “supposed” to heat it on the campfire.
Lay out butcher paper. Lay out raw bacon in a row. Fold the sheet over the bacon (not folding the bacon in half). Now fold the bacon in half. Roll up, and place in the jar. Use your pressure canner.
The paper keeps the bacon from sticking to itself or other pieces. It is helpful when camping.

Just found this recipe for Bacon Jam at the King Arthur Flour site. Has anyone canned bacon jam? Hot bath or pressure cooker?

Bacon jam I believe is jam that has bacon in it.

You can Can Bacon.... I will share the best video on it these not an approved method but here it is .... I know bacon can be canned commercially dont know that method

By BexarPrepper

It comes out par cooked I believe... definatly cooked enough to eat but if you want it crisp it needs to be put in the frying pan.

Here is the pre cooked method
by one of my favorite canners
Lindas Pantry

Processing times are the same as for raw packing meat

This is inspiring me to go a head and Jar up my Ghee.

Linda is one who is a very good instructor for Pressure canning.

I'm sorry but I can't think of anything more disgusting than canned bacon!!! I don't like bacon to begin with, and on the rare occasion that I have it, it has to be nearly burnt. Slimy in the jar? No thank you. Why not just freeze it?

Not liking bacon requires therapy, imo

once the jar is opened it goes in the refrigerator. But it gets cooked in a frying pan. as burned as you want it LOL.

The reason people are going to canning items like this is for having a product that you enjoy in a shelf stable form that can be maintained without freezing or refrigerating. like me. My electricity goes out very often as well as brown outs...

My plan is to have electric devices plugged into the wall between the refrigerator and freezer. Those devices are for brown outs. When the power goes low it shuts the power off to the refrigerator till the power comes back up... Same for the freezer.

Each will keep the food cold an hour or so with the power off if you dont open them. But the low voltage is what kills electrical motors. I would rather have food items stored on the shelf just incase. of Natural desaster, Long term storage so I dont have to go to the store which is sixty miles away.

In a pinch I can cook on the pot belly wood stove. Or warm things up... I heat with wood as well so it'd be easy to fire it up to warm up dinner.

All very true there seems California is the only one with rolling brown outs
