Cut your meat into cubes, add to each jar until 3/4 full. add salt and chopped onion for flavor. Fill with water till just covering the meat. Seal with the mason jar lids and place them in the large pot of boiling water for about 3 hours.


Canning any type of meat or fish by water bath methods is NOT recommended nor safe. The only safe method is using a pressure canner as botulism cannot be killed by the water bath method no matter how long you let the water boil.

Yes, many people still use the water batch method because their parents/grandparents used this method "with no problems"...but it is not safe and not worth risking your life,...or another persons' life over.
