Pressure Canning Beef Stew in Quarts
Canning Beef Stew
In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery.
2# potatoes
2# carrots
1# onions
1# celery
I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don't hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my 7 hot quart jars. Then I divided up the beef, followed by the potatoes, carrots, onions and celery until the jars were full. While I was doing this my veggie stock was heating up to a boil. I then poured the hot stock in each jar..
I put a lid and ring on each jar ..
And canned the jars for 90 minutes at 10lbs of pressure…

Canning Cabbage
I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well. In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine to
Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup
Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it "noodle-less" because you can't can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this
Canning White Bean Chicken Chili
The other night I needed a quick dinner. After a chaotic week I had not prepared what I'd planned. I went downstairs to my canning cupboard and grabbed a couple quarts of white bean chicken chili. It dawned on me as I was preparing it that it is a recipe that I meant to post back in the fall time, and never did. So I figured I'd post it now. It is so yummy, and so easy for a quick dinner. This meal MUST be canned in a pressure canner. It cannot be canned in a boiling water bath canner. It contains meat, beans and vegetables and these are all low acid foods. All low acid foods must be canned in a pressure canner. You will need to know and understand basic canning procedures to follow this recipe. I did not go "step by step" for canning. White Bean Chicken Chili ~recipe will make 6 to 7 quarts 3 #'s navy beans 1 ½ gallons water 2T salt 2 #'s boneless, skinless chicken (breasts or thighs, your choice) 1 quart corn or 4 cups frozen corn 1 large or 2
