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


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.

Canning Bacon in a 16 Quart Presto for Tasty Recipes

Canning bacon is a simple and easy process. How many of you still save your bacon grease for frying? Tastes good right? Fat is still a fairly controversial nutrition topic, but evidence is showing that fat is not the enemy. Animal fat in moderation is healthy fat, and food like eggs and bacon can provide slow burn energy for a long and busy day.
Canning bacon is a great idea. The jars will stay good a long time and you can use the bacon and grease in all kind of recipes and sauces to really add richness and flavor. I put a little in my homemade spaghetti sauce to give it that extra comfort food accent.
