I have never attempted to can anything but fruits and vegetables before. However, I got a desire to figure it out after our power was out for several hours last weekend. I have so much food in the freezer that could have spoiled.
I have a pressure canner, which is what is required to can meat, and all of the other supplies, so I went for it. I found this site very helpful. I also have an older copy of the Ball Blue Book that provided some more information. I canned 5 pints of pork loin on Saturday. I still need to open a jar and taste some to see if this process is going to be worth it for our family. I do think I will try canning some soups and other convenience meals.
