The big sale this week is shank portion hams! At .99/lb I bought 3 this morning....and plan to buy one or two more tomorrow. Home canned ham is great for casseroles, ham n' taters, soups, ham salad sandwiches....for all sorts of things! Here's what I got this morning....for about $30.
They were around 10# each, totalling about 31 1/2 pounds. I removed the skin, fat, and bones....and cut the meat into chunks. The skin and fat can be fed to the chickens...the bones will be used for beans.
I added boiling water to the jars, capped them, and have 3 canner loads running now. In all, it made:
6 quarts
8 pints
11 half-pints
All 3 canners going full blast in my kitchen. I will be SO GLAD when the burn ban is lifted! Please pray that we will get rain. But for now, I'll keep canning!

I love that Idea!! I should try that sometime.Do you put any kind of Liquid in with it? Do you can any other types of meat?
Tonia I can just about everything from meatballs to chicken breast. I can steak (or roasts) with tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions that turns into a quick meal once wrapped in a tortilla and sprinkled with cheese.
What a great idea. I never thought of canning ham! I will definitely be canning some now. Thanks for the idea.
