A word on siphoning:
Siphoning is caused by temperature fluctuations. Now, in canning there will ALWAYS be temperature fluctuations. The very nature of pressure canning is to heat your jars to the point that pressure is created. this creates a vacuum. that is the only way to get your water above the boiling point. Your job is to control that heat fluctuation so that only air is forced out the jars, not liquid.
Any sudden pressure change during the canning process can cause water to gush out of your jars. That is siphoning. Changing the temperature changes the pressure differential between the product inside the jars and the water and atmosphere outside the jars. Here are some ways to prevent this...
1. Match your jar, canner and product temperature as much as possible.
2. After the lid is on bring up the temp slowly and allow a full 10 minutes of venting before you drop the weight.
3. When you reach proper pressure, lower the burner temp as low as you can while maintaining pressure. Find the "sweet spot". This will take some practice. Try canning some water to find it without risking food spoilage.
4. When canning time is up wait 5-10 minutes after pressure has reached zero before removing the weight. Wait 5-10 minutes more before removing the lid and then another 5-10 minutes before removing the jars.
There are other factors. Proper head space is essential. Sometimes in raw pack there is air trapped in the product, so you have a lowering of water level, but that is not siphoning, and it won't be much.

***I forgot to put it in the video but both Meal in a Jar Recipes are Approved Ball Canning Recipes! You can find more information in the video description.

I am buying my little homestead this month and have been canning and putting meat in the freezer just for this. I can’t wait to get my homestead shelves filled! I can now, but I’m so excited to have the space to actually grow part of my food

[@meggo6673]

Thank you for the meal in a jar recipes! I love them. They make my life so much better, especially, in the summer when I’m busy in the garden.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

You bet! I love them too, so convenient! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 🤍

[@amylivingston458]

Just an FYI, you can pour the warm tallow through cheesecloth to remove the sediment as well.

[@MonaDidWhat]

Thanks for sharing

[@sarabennett3732]

Wow this is amazing!!! I also had no idea what tallow was, let alone its multiple uses!!! Thank you so much Kelsey!!! I love constantly learning with you!!! ❤

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I’m so happy it was helpful! Thank you so much and have a blessed weekend 🤍

[@SandraMalone-pq4mn]

Thank you for taking the time to show the process of tallow making. I have a lot of pork fat in a freezer, and didn't really know what to do with it. I now have some direction! And your meals in the jar look amazing. Having "fast food" meals on the pantry shelf is a commodity, especially this time of year when so many other demands are upon us. Have a restful and wonderful weekend. Blessings to you and your family,.

[@julieagain]

Love seeing your channel growing. Great recipes thanks

I love the scripture at the end. I always wonder which one you’ll put next 😊 Thanks for another wonderful and insightful vlog. You’ve taught me so much about rendering lard. It’s not as intimidating as I thought. I’m interested to see how you make your cosmetic products. 😊 Have a nice week, blessings to you and your family! ❤

Nice!

[@tinatippin5705]

Excellent video. I appreciate your sharing how you use the meals in a jar. I am really interested in implementing this into our meal planning for two. Rendering fats too. Thank you.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Absolutely! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

We have purchased beef several times as well and have never asked for the fat. I hope that will happen in the future. I’m super excited to see what you do with the tallow! I hope you’re feeling better! Have a wonderful weekend. God Bless you.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

It’s a good resource to have! Thanks for watching, I’m feeling better, a bit overwhelmed, but taking some much needed rest today. Have a great weekend 🤍

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

@@seedandsparrowhomestead This time of year is busy with getting everything into the garden. It’s easy to feel the pressure to keep going. I’m happy to hear you are taking some time to rest. It doesn’t do any good to push to the point of becoming sick. Otherwise, I hope your healthy and doing well. Will keep you in my prayers. 🤗

[@elysiana8889]

Thank you for the video. I am saving up pork fat and beef fat to make lard and tallow. That would be the first time ever I do that. Bag with pork fat is getting quite full so I'll be giving it a go very soon. The chicken curry recipe looks delicious. I had to delay getting a pressure canner, more important expenses came in. Tho I really want to try it. I might just give the recipe a go on the stove.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Awesome, Lard and Tallow are great resources! I totally understand prioritizing spending, I must do that often. I think it would be great on the stovetop or even in a crockpot! Thanks and have a lovely weekend 🤍

[@dorisspecial3619]

The prep work with the tallow before you started rendering saved you a lot of work in the end, I just bet!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I think so! Definitely glad I was meticulous and took the time! Thank so much for watching, have a lovely weekend 🤍

[@danielleosentoski520]

So just processing it like this and scraping the bottom is enough to get the beef smell out? I have seen people add water and salt but that seems scary. I have not done it yet but anticipating lard and tallow soon. Love your videos!

[@vickiiluvboxers4191]

Hi Kelsey, I pray you're feeling better! I have some beef fat in the freezer, I'm going to see if I can get the beautiful results you got! Can the meals in a jar be made without adding broth? Have a blessed week too and thank you for always blessing us! ♥♥♥

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you so much! I think I just needed a day of rest, I’ve been pushing myself too hard. Your prayers are so welcomed 🤍 The meal in jar as far as I know, will still need a safe liquid. If you don’t have/want to use broth I believe water can be substituted! Blessings to you ❤️

[@sharabrooks8371]

I wonder if a vegetable peeler, or razor would work better to scrape off the settlement of the tallow

[@lifelivedfrugally]

Hi, could you please tell me what farm you use to get your beef. I am interested in purchasing 1/4 or 1/2 beef. Thanks.

[@asc3998]

I'm a brand new canner. I saw that with other similar recipes had to be hot packed. If these do not have to be done that way, how do I know when hot pack is necessary?

[@samtimetomorrow]

You work so hard! Your tallow turned out beautiful. I live in central pa and been looking for a beef supplier that checks all the same boxes. I was curious if you wouldn't mind sharing your supplier. Thank you!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Aw thanks! Absolutely, I use beef and tallow from either Honey Brook farms or Red Hill Harvest. ☺️

[@samtimetomorrow]

@@seedandsparrowhomestead thank you so much!

[@nancyparriott5749]

how do you clean up that cheese cloth

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Scrap into a bowl, rinse under water and I throw into the wash!

[@DawnAtCusterCottage]

You may wish to grind your tallow for faster rendering next time.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

That would have helped for sure! I currently don’t have a grinder but maybe one day!

[@jessicasand9381]

Did you create the recipes yourself for those meals in a jar?

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

They are Ball Approved Recipes! Whoops, forgot to mention that in the video but I did state it down in the description ☺️

[@adelerobbetze]

the meals in jars for how many people are they?

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

They will feed our family of 4 for one meal when prepared with sides. We have 2 adults and 2 small children.

[@sandraantoniohuber7820]

Hi, I'm your new subscriber, I'm from Switzerland, I have a question, do you use tallow to cook?? but it has a very strong smell. I thought tallow was only used to make soap, I would really appreciate it if you replied.❤❤

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

It depends what tallow you use, leaf lard is found around the kidneys, it is pure white and for the most part odor less. I like to use it for cooking, baking and soaps and salves ☺️

[@sandraantoniohuber7820]

@@seedandsparrowhomestead Thank you ❤️

[@barbjarvi6543]

Do you render pork fat?

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Not myself, it’s hard to find really clean high quality pork fat here. This fall though, our friends are raising a pastured pig for us and I’ll be rendering that the same way as the tallow!
