Pressure Canning Beef Stew

[@katiebarnes2232]

Thank you so much for your wisdom and recipes! My husband and I (who are in our mid 70s) found you on KZbin about 3 weeks ago. I had one pressure canner, bought a second one, we have been pressure canning, dehydrating for two weeks. We have been using your recipes. We have almost 200 jars of meals. Our goal is 365 in jars. We’ve been dehydrating and gathering items to proceed with dried meals and sides all sealed in bags. We will be doing meals in a bag! Thank you again for your knowledge and gift of sharing!

I'm originally from Hawaii, but have lived in Alaska for around 39 years. Nobody canned food where I was from, in Hawaii. It's common in Alaska, but I still was never taught. KZbin has opened up teachers like you, who have helped fill the void in my life with these skills. I've been canning less than a year, and I have built enough food storage for about two years at this point. I wanted to make sure to thank you for providing the education I needed to acquire this valuable skill. Thank you so much!

Yes everyone worries at first that the pressure canner will explode and kill them or blow a hole in their roof. I looked at the all american canner -- and older aluminum canners, I figured to make enough pressure to burst that 1/4th inch thick aluminum container, you would need an awful lot more pressure than what is needed for the safety over pressure to activate. So I figured the likely hood of an explosion was unlikely.

The person I bought my canner from said I don’t need a weight? Can u confirm? Thx Pam.

[@raincoast9010]

@@annemaster5254 I'll take a crack at this one... First off, what kind of canner is it (make and model name or number)? Then find a schematic (detailed drawing) of the canner and see what parts are shown. You should also be able to order a operation manual for your canner. A short answer would be "it sounds kind of suspicious not to need a weight, i am not sure if ANY pressure canner can operate without a weight (unless you are talking about a water bath canner?) Water bath canners are basically just a big pot and there should be two parts, the pot and the lid. Cheers.

Same for me. I considered buying MREs... they have 10 year shelf life (though I ate a “beans and weiners” MRE in S. Korea in 1993 that was packed in 1968, and it was edible.) * Holy Spirit told me not to go that route. * So, I did some math... and realized that canning is cheaper. And, when they go following up on deliveries of survival food, when the engineered famine begins, they won’t have addresses for home canners. ** Was a prophecy about 12 years ago: one day, when food is short, MSM will blame “preppers” for part of the shortage, and those who failed to prepare will support a gov move to seize all that food. *** So, canning is the lowest profile prepping move to establish a food supply. But, if forced to flee... bottles are heavier and subject to breaking.

First, thank you lovely Rose for your wealth of information. I value and trust you completely when it comes to canning. I was shocked and a little concerned when I saw you packing your jars so high and worried about the outcome, but I trust your judgement and did the same. I filled my jars to the rim and filled them with broth to the 1" headspace as you instructed. After canning, I noticed some siphoning...actually a lot of broth was in my canner and upon removing the jars, I noticed none were sealed. I thought I would have to freeze the jars, because I processed 7 quarts. However, in the back of my mind, something told me that it would be okay, because Rose is a good teacher. So, I took my dogs for a walk and as I left our property, I heard my hubby yell out the door, "They're sealing!". I couldn't be more happier! By the time I returned home, every one of them had sealed! You are the best Rose! Thank you so much for your valuable information. Today, I learned that it's okay to be above the headspace, so long as the liquid is not.

Awesome as always. I love how you include all of the common challenges, such as glass measuring cups, not giving a dripless pour, making a bit of a mess.. You've helped me see that we all have a common thread. Blessings.

Thank you for this detailed demonstration! I canned this beef stew at the end of 2020. My nephew came to visit over Christmas. He's a picky eater. We had this one evening for dinner. I thickened it with a little cornstarch and served it over noodles. He loved it, and even requested it again a few days later. I live alone and love having these complete meals on my shelf. I've found that it's easier and less messy to add the seasonings farther down in the jar.

@@christinas907 Don’t be nervous…. It’s pretty easy but very time consuming. I’ve done 14 quarts of carrots and 5 quarts of ground beef. I had 18 pounds of carrots to wash & peel, then slice them up. I think next time I’ll only do half the amount. But the hardest part was trying to keep the ground beef at 11 pounds psi for 90 minutes !! It was difficult to regulate and I have a gas stove, which should be easier. Plus if it goes BELOW the required pressure, you have to start the timing over again once you reach the required pressure. Thankfully, mine never went below but did go over a tinge. With practice I hope to find it easier. Happy canning and thanks to Pam for her great instruction !! 😊

My mom stuffed her veggies as well, but the liquid would be below the line.

So it’s ok if the veggies are to the top not covered w/ the broth? I’m just learning and love your videos. I feel I can trust you! Ty!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

How kind of you! Thank you. It always love it when we help people who are new to canning!

[@karenlombardi8242]

I prefer this method over the recipe in my Ball book … precooking the meat, heating everything up in one big pot … trying to get the proportions equally distributed. I trust your process.

[@loridavis5699]

Looks delicious! I thought the jars were way too full but I guess it worked out

[@terrihalligan1657]

I love watching your videos. I have canned for many years but you have taught me so much. It has broadened the variety of things I can. I was so excited to see your outside canning station as I moved a couple years ago and the stove in the kitchen here couldn't be used for my canners. When my daughter asked what I wanted for my birthday last year I told her about this stove. I really went to work canning. Thanks for everything.

[@playinatlife5778]

Thanks for this video! I'm a newbie at 66 years old and appreciate the advice and experience of someone who has been canning for 50 years! I can't wait to binge-watch more of your videos. Are you surprised at the renewed interest in food preservation over the past few months? My question is about the texture of cold vs. hot pack beef. I've heard that the texture of chicken is better when hot packing. Do you find there is a difference with beef?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Good for you! I am thrilled at the resurgence of many of the traditional homemaking arts. I don't ever hot pack chicken or beef, so I really don't know. The texture of the raw pack meat has always tasted just fine to us. Thanks for your question.

[@nancyvonseggern3791]

I'm new to the pressure canning also...at 61...lol proof that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Good luck!

[@creationsfromlace6894]

I have canned (not a lot but a few different methods) and have processed both hot and raw pack. I find the hot pack seems a little overcooked to me ... could be other reasons though. But I’ve always been pleased with raw pack and hot having a overcooked texture.

Hi, I'm a newbie. Does it weaken the jas when banging on counter? Just wondering. I've listened to others. You are a beauitful woman! Love your videos. God bless you.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Not at all--I've never broken a jar that way. But I always have a cloth underneath. Thanks for watching and welcome to the world of canning!

[@gingerclark7484]

I wondered the same thing about banging those jar bottoms on a hard surface. I was taught to pick them up and use the palm of your hand. I used a butter knife also to debubble for years. My DIL had the idea of using a chop stick. It works great and doesn't displace the food in the jars as much. I have been using a chop stick for my canning debubbler now, it is so much faster and easier.

[@Mr_Chuckles]

Thank you for this awesome video tutorial. I find it interesting how you pack the meat tightly and use less than an inch of headspace - just about every other tutorial and the manual that came with the Presto say otherwise. Like you though, I also packed the meat tightly and just about to the top (not touching lids though) and they all sealed just fine.

[@shadow1975able]

[@helencato9234]

I wonder if you have ever tried just seasoning your broth until it tastes exactly how you would like, and then you don't have to sprinkle seasonings into each jar. If you have leftovers, you could freeze that too until you might use it to make gravy, or make some beef stew from scratch, or maybe use as your liquid when you cook a roast. Just a thought.

[@karlajohnson196]

[@janinekreikemeier6631]

My mom canned everything when I was young, but stopped when I was around 12 due to she started working. She used to make and can the best veggie beef soup ever and I have missed thatso much, but couldn't find her recipe. My mom has Alzheimer's so asking her was not an option. My aunt and I both quilt and can and we are always sending each other pics of the fruits of our labors. I had told my aunt that I would give about anything to have my moms recipe for her beef soup that she used to can and to my delight she told me that my other aunt has it and she would get it for me. My friend and I made/canned 16 quarts the other day and it is just as amazing as I had remembered! So many things wish I could ask my mom how she did ___, but I am not able to which makes me very thankful for your sharing your knowledge on here. Thanks so much!

I'm glad your husband helps cutting up the meat. My husband helps too. I can just taste your beef stew now. I don't salt when using bouillon, that's enough salt added. Also, celery makes it taste salty too. Great video! 👍❤💕

[@RoseRedHomestead]

For some reason, the USDA doesn't include celery in any of its recipes that I can find. However, I often slip it in anyway! Thanks for watching.

[@agoogleuser6902]

This comment is sexist.

[@lilybee_]

Pam, I canned this today and it is SO good!! I used better than bouillon because I didnt have beef stock and I added a small bay leaf to each jar. It tastes just like my regular beef stew and it took no more than 10 mins to thicken and heat up. My grown daughter is thrilled. She craves her Momma's stew and now she can have it whenever she wants. I now have a dozen meals in just a little more time than it takes to make one pot if stew. So, thank you!! 😘

[@rosaloving9106]

I’ve watched a lot of your videos and have enjoyed them all. You explained everything so well step by step. I’m fairly new at canning, so I pay special attention to details. I notice you don’t leave any head space at all in your jars. Both your meat and veggies are raw, so they will generate a lot of liquid. Yet you put a lot of broth in your stew, and the veggies at up at the brim of jar. Won’t the contents leak out jeopardizing the seal?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That is a good observation. You should always follow the USDA guidelines of leaving about an inch of head space. I am afraid that sometimes my long years of experience show because I know about how much headspace I can get by with depending on the food. I am trying to remember to model the USDA guidelines! Thanks for watching.

Canned for 45+ years but have never canned veggies with my meat. Thanks for the info! Chuck Roasts will be on sale next week and potatoes are fresh. You just saved me a bundle! Thanks!

[@luanawheeler7352]

Just made my first 7 quarts of stew today. I used london broil meat. Well, one jar didn't seal so we decided to "try it"....Long story short, the veggies were a bit soft and the meat was tender but DRY! I think I should have used a chuck roast. I will try to turn it into beef hash and add some fat and make patty's for breakfast. Any suggestions are appreciated! (If all else fails, we do have three little dogs, lol)

[@jeffcole1914]

I’m not a big meat eater lol I could probably use half the beef and love the veggies. It’s always a good idea to can I have been lazy I have two freezers that need to be worked and canned

[@breckandy]

I like to brown the beef and vegetables first for flavor and let them get tender and totally pasteurized and then do the pressure caner. You are fantastic.

[@NancyTroutman]

Do you have to have raw beef for this recipe? Would everything else remain the same, processing time, etc. if cooked beef is used? I have been saving up beef leftovers in the freezer and am thinking to use this recipe to use them up.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You can certainly try it. The reason to use raw beef is so that the meat won't get overcooked.

[@bevdoyleadams2717]

I was proud of myself yesterday canning beef stew. However, out of 7 quarts, 4 sealed. I tried to follow your recipe from memory, but something went wrong! I know I was getting tired and it was getting late. I probably got careless, but I thought I had wiped the rims clean with vinegar. Well, at least I know what we will be having for supper tonight and the next and ... However, I did have very good luck with my chicken vegetable soup the day before! I really enjoy watching you!

I've seen multiple videos on pressure canning and I'm.curious why so many people set their canner up outside? I'm a novice, just curious.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

We do that because my stove top is induction and will not work with my aluminum canner. Another reason for lots of folks is because for many people, canning season is in the summer and it can really heat up a kitchen.
