Pressure Canning Pork Butt Raw and Hot Pack Methods

[@beyondthebarre]

This woman is amazing. She's standing here casually chopping meat and educating me about stuff that NOBODY ELSE has ever mentioned.

[@solanisomeni]

A tip... I don't throw away the bones, be it pork, beef, chicken etc. after I have cooked them to make my broth. If you're not making broth, just cook the bones in plain water... When cooked, I place them on a deep cookie/baking pan and put them in the oven at about 350F. I let them bake for quite a few hours, depending on type of bone. Thin bones less time than big beef bones. This dries the bones out and makes them very brittle. Once they have reached the brittle stage that I prefer, I turn the oven off, take the cookie/baking sheet out and put the bones on one of my cooling racks that I use when baking. Let the bones sit and cool down and also dry off, if they aren't completely dry, which they should be if they've been in the oven for hours... If you haven't removed the bone marrow when making your broth/cooking the bones, you need to do that. Check how brittle the bones are, especially the larger beef bones. If not brittle enough, back in the oven with them again... Next step varies on what type of blender/food processer you have. I have a fairly strong both blender and food processer but, prefer the blender since it is deeper. I'll first take some type of tool to smack the now dry bones. Meat hammer works, so does a regular hammer. Some people place the bones in a heavy duty zip lock bag and smack that bag to break up the bones into smaller chunks. Also a good time to see if some of the bones are to hard. Those chunks go back in the oven again too... I personally don't put the bones in a bag anymore, since when I take the bones I'm processing out of the oven, they are usually so brittle that I can basically break even the big beef bones with my hands. Place the now smaller chunks of "baked bones" into your blender/food processor. Put lid on and start on a low speed level to grind the bones. Once you've got to the point where most of the larger chunks of bone have been broken apart, you can raise the speed of your blender/food processor. It shouldn't take long until you have a fine bone powder/meal in your blender/food processor. When I've reached the stage where it is a fine powder, I empty that powder out on the now clean cookie sheet. Spread the powder evenly and back in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350F. This is just to make sure that the powder is actually dry. Let sit until cool and then you can jar it. You can use this powder for quite a few things. First off, it's totally eatable and does have lots of minerals. I don't eat it though. I use it in my vegetable garden, providing bone meal to those veg/plants that need it. Buying bone meal in the store, at least over here in Sweden, is crazy expensive so, being that I do can as much as I do, I make sure I also make use of the bones. I know you can do similar with blood, if you harvest your own farm animals. Collect the blood, (yeah I know, not a pleasant thought) dehydrate it, powder it and you have your own blood meal for your garden... I haven't done this yet but am planning on trying it out come fall and harvest time. Not a lot, just to try and see how it works out... I fully agree with you that we should use every bit of an animal that has given it's life for us to survive and not waste any of it. I also save quite a few of the intestines and use when making sausage. The inner organs that I/my family doesn't like or, just aren't that suitable to eat, I put in bags in the freezer and when I have A LOT of those innards, I make my dogs and cats food. I try not to waste anything.

[@jeanb.7963]

Thank you so much for addressing the issue of storage in a hot climate, such as Arizona. This is my dilemma. I live in Arizona, and I can’t find a lot of videos that talk about storage of canned items in our climate. My husband and I downsized our house when we relocated out west. I used to have a root cellar but I don’t anymore. I have items stored underneath my beds and in a closet. My extra bedrooms are small. I do have an extremely large kitchen. I’m going to rearrange my kitchen to store the items that I can underneath my cabinets. I’m praying that this will be sufficient. If you have any other feedback, I would love to hear it. Thank you for the great video.❤

[@SuttonsDaze]

Glad I could help

[@edsusankendallphotographyf6074]

We are in Arizona too. So glad we stopped leaving for a mountain camp for 4-5 months over the summer. Leaving the AC off meant sketchy conditions for our stored foods. Plus I had to empty the freezer and fridge each Spring. It means we have a nice big garden now too...double bonus!

[@sueholte451]

I live in TX. We don't have a basement or root cellar. Bc of the temps storing food in the garage is not an option. I am using my dining room. It's more important for me to a climate controlled food storage place than have a dining g room.

[@jeanb.7963]

@@sueholte451 that’s an excellent idea. Since I’m in Arizona, I will consider doing the same thing. The air conditioning is on 24/7 and it’s quite cool in the house. I’m also blessed to have an exceptionally large kitchen.

I used the pork butt bone to make my broth for my pork. Boiled it with the onion peels and garlic, and onion powder, bay leaves. I used my fat separater to add the broth to my brown pork. OMG so good. It tasted like grandmas Sunday slow cooked potk roast.. But in a jar. 🎉❤

[@Wintek55]

I had a big pork butt roast like yours. I cut it up last night and washed jars. Got up this morning and started the process from this video- still in my Jammie’s😊. So thankful for your great videos. I appreciate the fact you stick with the rules for safe cannon but also know where to adlib a tad!

[@vickismallwood2082]

Thank you for stressing about not messing with the lids for eight hours. In my beginning days of canning I would be touching the lids to check frequently and my mother caught me doing it and gave me the what not to lecture.

[@anetzband1383]

I searched through your videos to find this one. The other day we got some boneless pork butt on sale (not for as cheap as you did), and knowing the prices of meat have gone up and up, I decided we needed some. I've canned pork loin in the past as well as chicken, turkey, and many other things, but not pork butt. This is a super video explained so simply and completely. Hubby and I are staying quiet this week, so tomorrow I'm going to concentrate on raw packing my pork butts! THANK you so much, Leisa, for your videos.

I got pork butt for .99 cents/lb a couple weeks ago at Kroger. SCORE!!! I bought 2 and it only cost me $15! Just took them out of the canner, got six 1.5 pints and 2 quarts. I threw the bones into the freezer along with hot pack juices that will be turned into stock and frozen or canned up. This was a GREAT vid! LOVE your vids, Leisa! THANK YOU! I'm worried about the near future. Thank you for helping us to prepare!

[@nonstopmom8185]

I just want to clarify something you said about eating medium rare pork. That's really from olden days. It's now fine. Better ways of raising pork plus trichinosis is killed at 137 degrees. So, cook to 145 and let rest a couple minutes. Funny story - my son is now 55 and when he was about 2 years old, somehow, he was able to grab and munch down on raw sausage. Of course, I called the Dr immediately and he said - nah, not a problem. To be sure, ground pork is a little different thing as well as ground beef.

[@J-Crosshomestead]

I love all your help with canning. I just recently went to PC. And now have beef that i raw packed. And today I found Pork Butt for .99/lb! OMG! So i bought on sale and have work to do for the weekend. Thank you for your videos!

[@maryloomis8075]

Thank you Lisa for this canning video. I must admit I hate watching videos where most is just the person talking with little info. Your video however was not like that. Every word out of your mouth was a tidbit of info that I could pack, (no pun/s intended) into my brain. Your subject matter did not fizzle out but stayed straight to the point. I like that you showed both methods of canning and the look between the finished product. My canned raw chicken (legs and thighs w/bones) looked much the same. I also looked up an earlier vid of yours, about budget not stretching far enough for the last week of the month. Been there/done that with a family of 11. All grown now and still canning, but c-vid was the start of me doing pressure canning for the first time in 40 yrs. Finally took the leap. God Bless you!

BBQ for the reunion sounds delicious

[@KellyS_77]

I never hear the steam even on video, my ears don't work that well. But I can usually find a way to see the steam. I usually scoop the fat off the jars when I open them to use, but then set the fat aside (usually on the flat part of the lid). I use it instead of a seed oil to cook the pork and whatever else we might be having with it. It's really yummy for things like making refried beans or sauteeing veggies if we're doing pork carnitas burritos. I hope you'll be videoing how you render the pork fat to make lard, its' something I've always wanted to try (although here in the UK, our pork butts coming with a layer of skin attached so I'm not entirely sure how that factors into the process).

[@imwatching2320]

How many rings do you need to keep . I , of course, get more rings every time I buy jars and now have far more than I need. I still need some for vacuum packing and other storage, but only need a couple dozen when I'm canning. Must have at least 100 of each size strung up in my pantry.
