One of the reasons I like watching your channel is for the variety- thank you

[@Jeni_Gough]

You are so welcome! 😊

[@julianielsen1885]

Totally agree with you, canning vs freezer. I forget to pull the food out of the freezer and I find that I miss things in my freezer, they get buried under other things.

[@mizsterious]

Nice Video!! I love my canned meatballs, like you said so versatile, Swedish, Sgetti, Meatball Stew, Asian, etc. . . Sometimes when in a hurry, just open a can of Mushroom Soup, Canned Meatballs, boil some noodles and Wa-La, dinner in 10 minutes. Thanks for bringing us along

[@Jeni_Gough]

You are so welcome! 😊

What a ideal I can take on camping trips..👍❤️

[@SuperSaltydog77]

To lubricate the seal on my canner I use mineral oil, available at grocery stores, which I also use to seal/protect my cutting boards. Totally safe and can also be used as an intestinal lubricant, does not mold or go rancid. And thanks for the tip on using dry onions instead of fresh, your tip will make for a better meatball.

[@Campfire-m1w]

I love those lids too. Every jar sealed perfect.

Thank you for having been a nurse. My mother is a retired nurse and now my daughter is in her first year working as an RN. God Bless

[@sheilajaroniewski1297]

I have a large mini muffin pan that I use to make my meatballs. Put the meat mixture in the cups and bake for 15 minutes and makes perfect meatballs without the hassle of rolling them. When I take them out of the oven I put them on a large cookie sheet and freeze them. When frozen I toss them in a 2 gallon zip lock bag and can grab what I need for whatever dish I’m making. I can just about everything that can be canned and never thought about canning my meatballs. Definitely something to add to my list. Thank you!

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yw! Great tip with the mini muffin tin! 😊

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jeni and Robert! These meatballs look delicious. I’ve got to do meatballs myself. Since it’s only me, I will do plain and Italian in pints. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed night!

I am so excited to make and can these meat balls I hate the frozen ones, Oh I live in AZ now what a small world!! Take care💕

[@Jeni_Gough]

Fantastic! Welcome!! ❤

[@sarahcourtney1658]

I am soooo glad you posted this recipe!! I canned some last year...using just a small amount of instant potato flakes. I did use fresh onions & sometimes they fell apart...but since I only used them in spaghetti sauce, was ok. lol . They were good..but could have been better. I like your list of ingredients..sounds like the flavor I like. Now eager to can some of these!

[@rlynnmiller5485]

This morning I opened a can of these meatballs, made a gravy from the broth, added green beans I’d canned and baked a potato. The texture of the meatballs is normal, and they are delicious! These will make super quick meals! Thanks so much and these meatballs will be a staple in my pantry!

Interesting. Ive only made traditional Italian meatballs where you need to add egg, milk soaked bread, seasoning. I didn’t think it would hold together without the egg and bread to bind the meat.

[@Jeni_Gough]

They hold together perfectly! 😊

I can't stop canning meat but I took a break this week and canned your charro bean recipe. They turned out great! Love to watch your canning videos/recipes. Asian style chicken is next recipe I'll can this coming week. Meatballs will be on the list to can in 2 weeks and I'll be adding potatoes because I love them.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Wonderful!! Happy canning my friend!! 😊

I loved this recipe it is beautiful in the jars and tasty wonderful I added tomato powder to my mix! I want to try a Mexican style cilantro. Tomato, onion, garlic, powder.

Everything looks fabulous; with my severe allergy to seafood I could never eat this recipe because Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it. Will try this concept with my regular mix. Thanks!

[@annamartinez7031]

I love all of your recipes! Finally getting back to watching vids since my husband passed away this year. I do have a couple of questions. Have you canned meatballs with marinara? If so, did you like them? Also, can you use commercially canned marinara sauce? Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes!

[@Jeni_Gough]

I am so sorry for your loss. 💔 I did can with marinara and did not like it, the marinara way over cooks and tastes scorched. You can use the commercial as long as it doesn’t contain thickeners, but you will need to thin it out. You are so welcome! 😊

[@elainemarsolais1104]

Made these yesterday. Right out of the oven before canning they were delicious.. The broth was delicious. Had a jar of them for dinner tonight. Was a no go for my family. For us it reminded us why we don't like canned ground beef. The texture for us was the same as canned ground beef. I love your channel and canning recipes but for me this one didn't work.😒 Look forward to your new recipes (non ground beef)❤

Help needed - question below... I just thought of meatballs last night when I went to get chorizo out of the freezer to thaw for today's soup (9 qts made, 7 canned) & I put my hand on meatballs first. I needed this video! Question: you said you had your jars in hot soapy water with vinegar.... I didn't think you could add vinegar to dish soap but I need to know how you did. Hubby scored appx 150 at jars for me, used. Some are fairly easy to wash, some I'm having a hard time with white or even brown residue, some are seriously scary to think of cleaning by hand. I don't have a dw, I AM the dw. I hate the smell of vinegar but am willing to use it to clean the jars if it works well. I need help please! These jars belonged to a lady who passed & her nephew sold them. They were stored in a place not clean without being very clean. I didn't see the place but I can only imagine by looking at these jars. There's even glass mayo jars (can I use them?). I'll appreciate any help you can give me!! I just started canning two days ago & ran my 3rd canner load ever today. Watching you & others has been my training, lol. Thanks & Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!

[@Jeni_Gough]

Vinegar added to your dish water will remove any leftover residue off your jars. 1/3 cup white vinegar to your dish water.

[@hersheyqueenlisa]

Can I use a combo of ground beef and ground pork? I have extra ground pork in the freezer that I’d like to use up. Thanks for this video! It’s very helpful.❤

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yes, absolutely

[@angelas_pantry_obsession]

I canned Italian beef not long ago and had siphoning too. Ugh! If I have that problem, it's only with meats. I'm not sure why. I try so hard to avoid it 😒 I'll be trying this because I love meatballs but hate having to make them all the time! Wondering if you have ever canned any of the sweet and sour or Thai style condiments from Ball? I've only ever done the plum sauce and a Thai chili sauce. Both are great but I have a goal to venture into more of my own condiments this year and less store bought. I'd love to see if you make any of these 😄

[@Jeni_Gough]

I have not, but I also want to do more condiments this year! 😊

[@Lewisusa11]

I found that little pig sausages fit perfectly in a pint jar. I can get 10 to a jar. I then fill with V8 which I have added a bit of Siracha to and then process. I have also done this with about 15 Costco rotisserie chickens. Buy 3 or 4 chickens, strip the meat off, throw 2 of the carcasses into a crock pot and make stock. then add and layer garlic cloves and chicken, then a sprig of fresh Rosemary down each side of the jar. Top with stock and process.

Hi Jeni. Did you soak or blanche the potatoes or did you just chop up and drop in the jars? Thank you. You have some amazing recipes.

I soak them in water with lemon juice overnight and rinse several times before canning them. I do tell you I. The video. 😊

[@JudyPipkin]

@Jeni's Scratch Made Kitchen I Yes. I did watch/and followed your dehydrating potatoe video. My potatoes were beautiful. I wasn't sure if you did that also for the potatoes in your meatball video since it was just a few potatoes in each jar. It wasn't mentioned in the meatloaf video. 😊

[@Akforgetmenot]

I come back over and over to learn more about canning! I was looking on the back of the KnorrBeef Bouillon and it has corn starch, is that ok?

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yes, its not enough to make a difference in the canning process.

[@athomewithroma]

Looks delish! Can you add rice to the meatballs? I make albondigas soup and I add rice to the meatballs. Will the meatballs with rice hold up under the 90 minute canning?

My friend cans dried beans when she doesn't have a full canner. Just put 2/3 cup of dried beans in a pint or 1 1/3 cup in a quart jar fill with water or broth and salt if you wish then can with the meat. Be sure to check out and rinse the beans before canning. It's an easy way to can your dried beans.🤗

I can’t eat beans canned that way unfortunately. Too many lectins. They have to be soaked. But that is a great idea for these who can. 😊

[@nonstopmom8185]

Hi! I don't know if you see comments since you did this a while ago but were the potatoes raw when you added them? I canned some potatoes using the Ball Canning Book. It said cook the quartered potatoes in water for 10 minutes then put into jars. That seemed way too long as they could have made mashed potatoes when I strained them to put in jars.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yes, I canned them raw.

[@kristieweeks3904]

Jeni these meatballs look delicious! Could you use 73% lean ground beef or would they have too much fat in them? Love all your amazing videos!

Yu can use 73%, just pour off the grease right after you bake them, before adding them to the jars. 😊
