Canning dill pickles how to!
Time: 3 hours (1 hour active time)
Makes: 12 HALF pint jars
Ingredients:
12 cups of sliced cucumbers
1/4 cup pickling salt
6 cups of ice
3 cups of white vinegar
3 cups of water
1 & 1/3 cup of sugar
6 tablespoons of pickling spices
7 garlic cloves cut up into halves
22 fresh dill heads
Directions:
-Slice up your cucumbers to pickle size, put in a large container, cover with your pickling salt and ice and let sit for 2 hours. This helps to make the pickles crisper in the weeks to come.
-Rinse the cucumbers to remove the salt.
-Warm your mason jars to prep them (scalding hot water, dishwasher or oven warming).
-In a large sauce pot combine your water, white vinegar, sugar and pickling spices. Bring to a boil and once it is boiling, turn to medium to roll for 15 minutes.
-Start your hot water bath canner to bring to a boil.
-While the liquid mixture boils put your cucumbers into your warmed, prepared mason jars filling almost to the top. Then add 1 garlic clove half and 2 heads of dill to each mason jar on top of the cucumbers before adding the liquid.
-Pour your canning liquid through a cheese cloth or a mesh strainer into a large bowl or container, preferably one that is easy to pour, to remove the pickling spices.
-Fill jars with liquid to leave a quarter of an inch head space.
-Put your lids on finger tip tight, not super tight. Put 4-6 half pint jars in your hot bath canner at a time and boil for 10 minutes.
-Remove from canner and put on a dish towel on your counter and let set 10-12 hours or overnight. Cans will pop as they seal. If you cooked for the right amount of time they should all pop within an hour after removing them from the canner.

Canning Dill Pickles - Delicious, Easy Recipe
Putting up crispy dill pickles, I seem to be able to get more fruit in the jar cutting the cucumbers into wedges. This is the easy brine recipe I use, and the processing for delicious home grown dill pickles. Throw in some fresh garlic cloves and dill for not only a great taste, but an awesome look as well. These pickles are ready to eat the day after canning, however, larger cucumbers have thicker skin and will need to sit on the shelf in the jar for a month or so to soften up a bit. Enjoy

Roast Beef for Canning: How to Can Roasts
It's easy to learn how to can roast but does involve some steps that will take time. You will need some quart jars, wide mouth is fine, for large pieces of roast beef or other fatty, tasty meat. Steak seasoning makes a good spice for canning roasts. The canning done in the video was done completely off grind using a propane cooker.
The All American 921 Canner was also used for a bigger batch. Real olive oil was used. Be careful if you want to buy olive oil, the best oil is not cheap... but will not contain additive oils.
This is the raw pack method for roast is used here for ease and speed, the hot pack method is also an option for canning meat. Don't worry about adding extra water or sauce with raw packing. The meat will provide it's own sauce when cooking.
