Same here, I've had home canned beef and vegetables as well. Haven't canned myself but growing up on a farm my parents did a lot, now they are getting older and don't do as much anymore so I didn't get any this year. I have an Aunt who isn't well to do money wise but won't accept handouts but still cans, I think I'm going to take her a load of jars and pay her to can food for me as she makes mose of her income off odd jobs like that anyway. I can't eat spam anymore, the grease just makes me sick, although strange if i take it from the can and wash it then eat raw its not as bad as cooking it.
