Canning Meat by Sheila

Post and Pictures by Sheila

I first cleaned my work area and laid out all the tools I would need during the canning process.

I then washed and trimmed the fat off my meat before cooking it.

I browned the stew meat before placing the meat in the jars. I added beef broth to the stew meat.

I opened a jar of stew meat and added some bbq sauce to have bbq beef sandwiches. The beef melted in my mouth.

I hope you are all enjoying being a Master Food Preserver as I am. If any of you have any questions do not hesitate in contacting me at svansonpfs(at)yahoo(dot)com.

I have also canned 120 jars of fresh meat. chicken, stew meat and hamburger.

Canning Chicken by Sheila

I first cleaned my work area and laid out all the tools I would need during the canning process.

I then washed and trimmed the fat off my chicken before cooking it.

I boiled the chicken before placing it in the jars. I also added chicken broth to the chicken.

I opened a jar of chicken and used it to make orange chicken and served it over fried rice which I added my dehydrated peas, carrots, green and red peppers, onions, garlic and broccoli. It took me 5 minutes to prepare dinner and 25 minutes to cook the rice with the dehydrated veggies. And if I don't say so myself it was delicious...
