All good seals. I rarely have failures, but all were good this year.

A large portion of that is going to my parents. Only reason I get so much. One of my brothers is jealous. I think he just realized I take a bunch down to mom

Too bad for him .. I have no contact with my brother anymore .. Ma bought property in Yelm there was a doublewide on it she had my brother move to it bought herself a manufactured paid to have it setup for her .. when she passed a year later .. He wanted me to pay bills he claimed she had not .. I knew how much she had put that property she was not a senile as he wanted me to believe she had spent a week at my place

Im sorry for you.

I have a fairly good relationship with my brothers. I'll take a few jars for this brother as he is good on family favors.

Our tuna for the year

That is very impressive! I might like to try this! My husband's sister & her husband live in South Bend. I could probably talk them into bringing me some. He also has a smoker...so I might even be able to get him to smoke it for me as our smoker is not working right now. I would love to know how you do it, I've never canned meat before, but I want to learn. If you would be interested in sharing the information with me, please!

Here's the pdf link from WSU extension service for seafood canning.

I haven't tried canning ground beef, but cubed meat for soups we'd use when I was growing up. It can be a bit dry mouth feel from the canning so I find it best used in soups. I put up several quarts this year.

I don't know what type of pressure canner you have but I love my All American there. It was well worth the extra cost. No gasket to worry about either.

Thank you so much for both links! I've had a presto canner for 35 years, but I just bought a 30 quart All American. I haven't used it yet, maybe this will be its debut!

I don't like tuna from the store anymore. It's all mushy. I ruined everyone I've given jars to as well. Mom always complains if she has to buy the mushy watery stuff from the store.

Make sure you mix the oil back into the tuna before eating of you can your own.

I'm really excited to give this a try! Thank you for the advice on the oil!
