Remember the usda recommends canned meat storage for one year, but it is commonly known for meat to be canned correctly and stored and last up to 15 years.
Prep now, whether you are a prepper or not the time is now with the meat shortages the food shortages, and the supply and demand is a growing concern with the supply chain issues
prepper or not you need to be prepping! This is why everyone is prepping right now because things are getting bad in this world with shelves going empty.
The inflation and hyperinflation is also another thing that is getting bad, the prices of groceries are going through the roof! and it is super smart to stock up now
stockpile things you will buy eventually and buy them now while it is available and priced lower because prices are going up.
Meat especially may disappear and not be available in coming months! and if meat is available it may be triple the cost meaning only rich people will be able to purchase groceries.
Hyper inflation is here, canning foods is a prepping skill you must learn to be able to go buy meat right now and store it with out refrigeration! and store if for many years. Do this now, meat shortages will consume the world soon and food shortages will plague the world, prepping now for that storm is very smart. The time to learn how to be self reliant is now, the time to buy food and stockpile food is now, the time learn how to can meat long term is now.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Store in a cool, clean, dry place where temperatures are below 85 F (between 50-70 F is good) but not freezing temperatures. Rotate foods so the oldest is used first. Try not to keep canned foods more than 1 year. Use canned meats and seafood within 3 years of the date on the package. 38F- 45F degrees and you can reach 15+ YEARS All microorganisms in the food are now dead, and so cannot feast on the sugars or other nutrients, multiply, and cause spoilage. Because the can is sealed, no new living microorganisms can get in. This is how canned foods can sit at room temperature for over a year and not spoil.

Wait wait are you really showing people how to pressure can, but you don't save fat? Next time dump all that liquid into a bowl, put in the fridge overnight, pluck the white hockey puck off the top and discard the liquid. You now have beef tallow, not only can you cook with it, but it's the world's best skin moisturizer you can use it in your hair too. If the white pack of fat has some debris in it from cooking, just put a clean pot of boiling water on and drop it in, now let it cool down, then put it in the fridge overnight again, now it should be pure White tallow. To use it on your skin or hair, simply microwave it until it's a clear liquid. I use this as my pre-shave oil, as well as hair oil.... Use very little on your hair LOL. Like a drop or two in your hands and then rub your hands together to spread it fully around

@@RiversideHomesteadLife ~Some other ideas for other ways to preserve "meat" and "fish" without Pressure Canning it in glass Mason jars and without freezing it: (1)Learn how to dehydrate, freeze-dry, salt preserve (sparingly), sun dry, or (hot or cold) smoke (Bradley Smoker device) (jerky) your own "meats" including "fish". Then vacuum pack it for storage. (2)Also for long term storage learn how "pickle" your own "meats" (I have had pickled pork or beef "sausage" and it was very good) including pickled "fish" is a favorite of mine (most people have eaten Roll Mops or pickled herring but "any type of fish" will work for pickling) also optional to add a little sugar or honey to the "fish brine mixture" in glass Mason jars. Do "not" need a Pressure Canner for this pickling preserving method. This is my brine recipe but you can make your own: "a ratio" of 1 cup of (pickling) vinegar, 7 or 8 cups of water, 1/4 cup of salt (adding sugar or honey, onions and garlic is optional), >>"boil" this brine mixtureminimum (least) amount< of both vinegar and salt (added to water) that gets the job done properly. ii)I would prefer that "meat" be >totally submerged< in the brine mixture and not floating on top. So take this into account. (For sauerkraut a weight is put on top to keep the cabbage submerged under.) ~Also these are just guidelines and heads-up ideas. But in books and on the internet please look this up for yourself, experiment, and do you own research for recipes on all the methods listed in (1) & (2) above. Hope this helps someone in some way.

I think its more about selling lids and liability. Every reputable canner I have watched says the canned goods should be good for many years if done right. I just ate a jar to canned tomatoes from 2017 last night. I thought I had already used them up. They looked and smelled great and were still sealed. I will say the newer lids are not as well made as they were years ago. They changed the formula for the sealing gum when they made the. BPA free abt 4-5 years ago.

You should NEVER drain meat into the sink because the additional fat in the grained liquid can clog your drainage! Also, you could possibly reuse that drained liquid for a soup 😉

[@ginataylor6991]

I would recommend "finger tight" instead of "hand tight." The lids have to be able to lift slightly off the jar in order to expel the air and make a nice tight seal. If you tighten too much, you might not give the air a chance to get out and your lids will buckle while trying to lift.

Great video! My only contribution would be to “Finger-Tight” those rings on the jars before placing in the canner. I think you said “hand tight”? If you hand tight those rings, you can cause buckling of your lids and your jars won’t seal. Finger tight is using your fingers to screw the rings on until you feel resistance. Never crank down when screwing on the rings…

A tip my grandmother passed on to me about the seal: Heat up bees wax and dip the top of the jar in quickly, only enough to cover the seal and screw band. Quickly wipe the excess off. This protects the metal from rust and acts as a secondary seal. Cleaning after opening is simple, as boiling the tops in water causes the wax to melt and rise to the top

Hey. I've been prepping for 5 years now because i knew what was coming (read the book of Revelation) ive canned mince (ground beef) both cooked, raw and in sauce. The raw mince i put no water in. Both pre cooking and raw pack are great..3 years now and still good in jars. I prefer to not add the water..it makes the meat firmer and not watery when you open jar to use it. No way is better just up to individuals. You can also water bath meat for 3-4 hours, rolling boil as the Amish have done for centuries with no botulism ! Govt don't want you to know the old ways of self sufficiency. They use USDA and other scare mongering rules to keep us in fear. Water bathing has been around for eons, no deaths as long as the seal is intact. Use your nose and eyes to know if any canning has failed. Amish re use their lids up to 6 times! I do too...again they say dont reuse because they want you to buy more! Ps. Tap lids with metal spoon. You will hear if seal is still good. A failed lid will have a low hollow sound. You can hear the difference with good seal lids

You can not smell or see or taste botulism. It will kill you. The “gov’t” does not give a shit how many jars you buy.

This popped up in my notifications for a thumbs up…and since I wrote the comment 2 months ago, the government has decided to remove all expiration dates from canned foods going forward…because they know a food shortage is impending. Can’t be throwing away good food anymore just because the greedy companies want you to buy new. They suggest the same as you do above when you open a can of store bought canned foods with no expiry date -> use your eyes and nose to determine if it’s good. Same as our grandmothers always did. The old ways are making a return through necessity. I’m sure I’ll water bath can things they say I “can’t “ at some point. I already pressure can a lot of stuff they say I can’t. Butter, sausages (dry canned), bacon, heavy cream, tomatoes without acid…etc. If the Amish & other rebels aren’t dying…I’m good.👍

I'm trying to learn all I can before I get my canner & start. I'm at a loss as to why the fat & meat juice gets poured off & other liquid added. If butter can be canned & it is fat, can't I keep the fat in the ground beef & not lose it with all the flavor?

I’ve been pressure canning meat everyday for the past 3 weeks now. When stored correctly it’ll last for awhile as my family’s done for years. Thanks love your channel. I’ve got four canners, two electric ( Nesco, and InstaPot MAX- yes they both are excellent) and two for stove top ( All American canner and 23 quart Presto canner) they all get to 248 degrees for safety. 💕 When canning beef I use half in water and half in beef broth and some I do taco as well. I did some meatballs and I use mushroom powder as it a great binder and tastes 👍🏼 Hot pack jars hot pack food same for cold pack food cold pack jars, ALWAYS heat your lids as the heating process help the seal stick good and tight (finger tight). Also dehydrating veggies and herbs and meat (yes meat) in this these foods can last a long t8me when done correctly.

[@TheTurtlee1]

I recommend beef broth instead of water. Water makes the meat taste a little funny, especially chicken will taste like tuna. If chicken is canned with chicken broth, it's absolutely delicious!

[@RiversideHomesteadLife]

Thanks for tip I will do that on second batch this weekend!

[@janesmith3893]

Amen about the tuna taste!

[@captcooper5159]

Nice Vid... I do this in Glas Jars with Glas lid and Rubber seal. Cann it in a water bath at 100°C for 120 mins. Reheat it before serving. Consider making a true emergency food out of it: Layer 1 part cooked Rice, 2 parts red beans and 3 Parts ground beef. Cann it and you have the perfect emergency food with a well balanced nutritional value!

Canning changes the texture of the meat . After doing over a 5,000 pounds of meat over the years, things I will never can again . Ground meat , sausages, hot dogs of any brand or any meat with the bone attached .. Things that can very well , chicken breast , salmon , beef steaks/roasts , pork loin , turkey breast . Good cuts of meat can well, the rest is ghastly .. I run 5 canners at the same time ..

My mom, grandmas, aunts canned many things for years. I've canned venison, elk, pheasants etc and many garden vegetables for about the last 43 years. Great way to preserve food as long as you carefully follow canning instructions that come with canner, clear all your jars careful, keep canning lids in boiling water until use.

[@marypeterson3512]

I use broth instead of water for more flavor.

[@RiversideHomesteadLife]

I have not done that- good idea 👍

[@80T]

Beef broth will work the same?

[@gman21266]

@@80T Yes. Broth is actually a little better than water. Nutrients in the meat will seep into the water and be lost. And, that will also cause a loss in taste. But by using broth, you are losing less nutrients and taste. Either way is ok. My personal preference is to "raw pack" which is simply pressure canning raw meat with a little canning salt and no water or broth. The meat gets cooked in the pressure canner. And that is how commercial/industrial ground meat canneries do it.

[@KittyMama61]

Great job. I also use the raw pack method. You can even raw pack meatloaf, as long as you don't include the dairy or any fillers such as breadcrumbs.

Sticky, hot fruit covered me from waist to knees. Trip to ER. Doc said racing to shower in cold water prevented nerve and skin damage. So... feel free to use this as a cautionary tale to first time canners: wear a long apron. If burn happens, get under cold running water for 15 minutes, minimum. Clothes and all. Vital that you cool skin *and underlying tissue. Also: keep special track of child safety. Had my toddler son been helping, that flawed canning jar and contents would have hit him at face level.

[@laural4644]

Bravo! You and your vlogs are straight forward and very informative! I grew up on a dairy farm, and canning was a way of life. Pressure canning was only safe practice for all meats & fish. Also these preserved meats, must be cooked & used, after you open jar. Don't scope out 1/2 and put back on shelf. Once seal is broken, & open, all contents must be used. Read & follow all directions, particular what re-heat temps are required, to make this meat, chicken, or fish safe to eat. Rule of thumb, after opening up jars, do sniff test and also coloration check. Any doubt, don't risk it. Follow you instinct. Basic storage that are dark, cool and humidity controlled .
