Canning Beets On The Hobby Farm


Join my wife and myself on our adventure of building our little homestead farm in the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest.

Watch as we establish a garden, orchard, build our home, install solar panels and windmill, apiary, raise rabbits, ducks, chickens, geese and goats. Learn with us as we explore pasture management and forest management, and join me as I build a tree house in the timber upon my mountain.

Canning ground beef wasn't so good when you had to add water, beef base, or something else to give it a better taste or consistency. I want to thank Katzcradul and 255Sage for introducing us canners to this method. It is so simple and easy that I will never can ground beef any other way. All you have to do is just fry your ground beef until it is no longer any pink left in the meat, then drain it and add it to your jars. Just make sure you do pack it in pretty well and pressure can it for 75 minutes for pints and 90 minutes for quarts. I use a 23 Quart Presto Canner to pressure can any of my food preps. Canning and storing ground beef is an awesome thing to do. Once you have it canned then you can use it when you are in a hurry one night and just make taco's, manwich, spaghetti, lasagna, any recipe that calls for ground beef. Try it, I know you will like it and if you like this video please give me a "Thumbs Up" and subscribe to my channel!!

Canning Pork Patties

Here's how I canned pork patties. This is the same recipe as the Quebec Pork Meatballs except the spices were omitted and they were shaped into patties. If you would like to see how they can be used in a meal, watch my video "Pork Patty Dinner from Food Storage".
