Water canning cooked meat.

[kitchenbro]

So i'm fairly new to canning, having only done pickles but i want to can baked beans that have cooked bacon in them. I'm just wondering that if i get the PH level to 4.6 (the recipe has vinegar) would it be safe to water can or do i still need to get a pressure canner.

Pressure canner for safety sake. They do have some nice electric ones out now. Just make sure it’s a canner & not just a cooker. I’m sure you with find other things to pressure can once you get started.

Pressure canner.
Cowboy canning works for lots of folks and has for years. Acidification of beans, pre curing meat and using a water bath or steam canner. My mom did it, my grandmother and her mother did it this way, type stuff. Sure it can be done and you will live, until you don’t. Use a pressure canner.

Pressure canning for sure. You are dealing with meat so... there is no way around....

Do not use home canning methods... The "testimonials" are from folks that lived... Those that got sick and died never made it to print...
