Ink Rust and Sawdust: Pressure Canning Meat

Bob loves to can meat. Seriously, his idea of date night is to buy 40 pounds of beef, chicken or pork and spend time together prepping and canning it.

We work together; I prep the bottles, he cuts up the meat and puts it in the jars. I prep the lids then put them on, he tightens the rings (anyone who knows me will NEVER pick up a jar by it's lid). I fill the canner, he carries it to the stove. From that point on it's all Bob. He babysits it while we talk. I don't worry about the rest until it's time to wipe up the jars and put them on the shelf.

I absolutely ADORE those rows of bottles on the shelf. It gives me a sense of security. Plus I am a really lazy and bad cook. With the meat already cooked and ready to go dinners are a breeze.
