[quote:tinygreen:MV8xNjEyNjkxXzI2NjY3NDQyX0Q4N0JDRDJF] [quote:Eggcellent:MV8xNjEyNjkxXzI2NjYyNjEwXzdGNTg3QzFC] [quote:weegie:MV8xNjEyNjkxXzI2NjQ2ODQ1XzhENzk5NUVD] Just a reminder if you're stocking up for when TSHTF. Meats can also be canned...in broth/gravy/sauces. Lots of directions online. I'm using small 8 oz. jars for those since there are only two of us. A small jar of beef cubes in gravy can easily be stretched into a big post of soup in desperate times. [/quote] Years ago I used to work at a Mom-and-Pop Deli. When we would slice up the meat for sandwiches, there were always little "butt-ends" that they would THROW AWAY (before I got there, anyway!). I'd bring those little scraps of meat home, save them up until my day off, then run them through my good ol' hand-crank meat grinder. The meats were turkey, ham, and roast beef. I'd pack the meat into half-pint jars, along with a little bit of whichever flavor of bouillion the meat was (to keep it moist) and process them for 90 minutes. Each jar, when mixed with a little mayo and some chopped onion, made two generous sandwiches for my husband's lunch. He was a lot sorrier than I was when I got a different job! [/quote] i love to take ring bologna, grate it, add mayo, pickle relish and cheese. we call it bologna mix. my very favorite sandwich. when we make it i eat several sandwiches a day. :fridge: [/quote]

last year i canned for the first time. wow, i was nervous.
this year, i'm doing better. i have been canning like mad.
if you'd like, tell us your how's and why's. learning to preserve food is one of the most important skills a person can learn.
if you have a picture of your preserved foods uploaded, let me know and i'll post it for you.
