A couple of days ago I had the distinct pleasure of teaching this very principle to three young mothers who had trepidations about canning proteins. Each had processed jams and jellies, but never any meat products. We began with instruction on the importance of sanitation and safety when handling proteins.
There is no real reason to fear canning low acid foods like vegetables, proteins, or one pot meals (meatballs, diced meats, stews, soups, etc.). If you follow the basic instructions provided for processing these items and use a pressure canner, there will be no problems. Purchase your special buy items in bulk, process them immediately or freeze them and put them up when you have time. Or, better yet, gather some friends and have a canning party. One day of friendship and fun will provide many quick and pleasant meals. We were able to can Italian Meatballs, Spicy Mexican Meatballs and Diced Chicken Breasts. The recipe for Italian Meatballs was posted previously. (Additional recipes will follow next week).--post by Bill.
