How to Can Albacore Tuna

[@ds948]

Thanks so much, very fun and informative video!!

[@grabyourjars8479]

You're very welcome!

[@karenwells9272]

That's a great idea for the top of your jars, the rings on while packing.

[@grabyourjars8479]

Thanks Karen - it definitely saves on having to clean the jar rims!

[@wallycoon3454]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I used the screw band while filling jars and it was a real time saver.

[@lisabishop6033]

Right?! Wish I had seen that tip 40 years ago!

[@exasperatus2002]

I enjoyed the video. But wouldn't using the funnel be easier then using spare bands to help keep it cleaner?

Mark and Merry are great people. I fish with their charter outfit All Rivers when I go out for Tuna and we almost always do well.

[@grabyourjars8479]

I get tooooo seasick - especially going out the bar - so I just buy my tuna from Mark these days. LOL.

My husband is going tuna fishing tomorrow out of Westport and I needed to refresh my memory on canning tuna. My last load of canned tuna from 2 years ago is running out! I just bought a digital pressure canner. Woo hoo! For long cooks it’s so nice to have a canner I can set and forget! I also have my old canner that I’ll use. Thank you for your great tutorial! And yes, home canned tuna is so much better than store bought! And the price in the store for those tiny cans! Unreal! Cat food…. Hahahah😂 I’m using your screw band trick to keep the jar tops clean!

[@grabyourjars8479]

I'm so glad I could refresh your memory! Hope your husband caught lots of tuna for you!

I see bucket gardening on the fence , awesome

[@lisabishop6033]

We had tomatoes in the buckets, but found they got too dry. It's a work in process!

[@scottowens1535]

Straight forward. Perfect every time. I like my bellys with a jalapeño.

[@grabyourjars8479]

That sounds delicious!!

[@fluffykitties9020]

Would have been great to see you open a can and try it out! Also, how long can these be stored? Thanks for the video.

[@grabyourjars8479]

I didn't even think about eating one at the time! We've had them on the shelf for 4 years - I would be comfortable keeping them for 5, but not longer. They were still as good at 4 years as they were at 1 year on the shelf.

Haha funny I found your video, just got done fishing with Mark and now I’m going to try canning them! Awesome video! I heard from someone to put some chicken broth in with the tuna?? Have you heard about that?

[@lisabishop6033]

I have heard about that, but prefer canning them in their own oils. If you try it, let me know what you think!

[@ismailadam914]

Thinking why did you pour hotwater on lids, while u would be pressure cooking whole can including the lid later

[@lisabishop6033]

You're absolutely correct! It's not necessary when pressure canning. I guess I'm just a creature of habit! 😂

[@farahababuthahir851]

During the 100 minutes, boiling, won't the water evaporate

[@lisabishop6033]

No. With pressure canning, you are not boiling your water. Pressure canning creates pressurized steam which pushes the temperature to 240 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. That will destroy the bacterial spores naturally present in these foods.

[@123omid73]

Hello, I do not have one of these devices, if I put jars of fish in a pot of water, should it boil in water for a few minutes? Do I need to add oil too?

[@grabyourjars8479]

You MUST pressure can tuna; simply boiling jars of tuna in water is not a safe canning method. Sorry!
