Another pre planned meal i can is beef stew minus thickener. I can do the rice thing or add a thickener later. I layer onions deef celery beef carrots beef and finally potatoes . Then 11lbs for 120 min in half gallon ball jars.
I also can a base for chilli and have 300 pounds of beans.
My smallest 3 of my 5 kids love sloppy joes. So i make my own and hot pack in quarts at 11lbs for 90min.I do chicken the same as beef. I also can beef and chicken raw pack with boiling berky filtered spring water. It is scrumptious .
HAPPY CANNING
