I'm in Southeastern NC supposedly outside of the 'hurricane zone', but Mathew and Florence showed us differently. I grew up and lived most of my adult life in the Norfolk/Va Beach VA area. So no stranger to hurricanes. We tend to let our freezer run 'low' in July till Nov. Just fill the holes with bags of ice. My grandma canned her garden, right down to her asparagus. I wish I paid more attention to her when I was a teen. My mom didn't can, but she did a lot of scratch baking and cooking. I keep telling her take the plunge and can, if I can do it you can too. I'm seriously considering buying her a couple books for her retirement gift.
My Grandma used to can ALL kinds of vegetables and fruits...but never canned any meats! This was very interesting Greg! And makes perfect sense for emergencies like Hurricanes or Earthquakes. Thanks for showing us how to do it!
I have not never done the hot pack pork Greg I think I would like it better than the cold pack because some of the fatted melt off as you cooked it and you could also pull more of it off as you put it in the jar thanks for this one it just gave me better ideas.
Greg this brought back some memories of my Aunts who would can like they were in a depression :). unfortunately, I have never canned anything and never acquired the skill. I wish I had learned from them.
Thank you so much for all you do to educate us and share your recipes. You have helped me so much. I’m originally from Stuart/Jensen Beach. I was born in Stuart and oh how i miss it there! I used to go to Ft. Lauderdale with my grandparents all the time. Someday i hope to come back there.
Thanks Greg. I can on rainy days. Noticed that WM had Presto canners yesterday. The look you had at your friend..., had to be a friend, your mom knows not to do that. God Bless, stay safe.
why didn't you wipe down the top ring of the jar to get off any grease/residue and to re-check for nicks on the top of the jar. My mother would yell at me if I didn't do that. Just curious. Sorry - I didn't see you do this on the first one.
I actually forgot to wipe down two jars and restarted the video and re-did those jars. Unfortunately in editing I use the first clip instead of the second which I did wipe them down. That was a good catch and I will make sure to always put that in my explanation. My mom will kill me too when she notices that
@@gregscumberlachiakitchen I know my mom would have made me start everything all over - re-sterilizing jars/lids. I hope you didn't feel like I was "yelling" or some kind of authority on this. I just know how I was taught and the steps have to be followed to ensure you have great products. Thanks for the video - I enjoyed it. Especially the "boom". Can't wait for more. Have a great day.
I can meats also but have been hesitant to pressure can meat that has been cooking in a slow cooker. I am concerned that pressure canning slow cooker meat will turn it to mush. Your pork looks good. How is the consistency after canning? Does it hold together well? Thank you!
Right?! That's one of my biggest fears growing up was moms canner exploding...took me a long time to start doing canning myself...everyone loves to mess with me. Oh well, gave some people some laughs...Have a great weekend Phyllis
Nice video but I'd like to know where in the FDA guide you found instructions for pulled pork? I found instructions for Strips, Cubes or Chunks of Meat but not shredded. When I checked further, I have heard that because of a heat penetration issue, shredded is not recommended. I thought maybe they have changed their viewpoint and have instructions for shredded pork now. I'm hoping so. Anyway, great video.
I would be so mad if someone yelled BOOM at me right then - they would have paid for that for a LOOOONG time to come! But it was funny to watch .. LOL ;) Your jars look beautiful though!
So who was it?.... the wife or a kid? It was funny though, lol. Your reaction was way better than mine would've been. Greg, was the pork smoked or not before you cooked it in the slow cooker? I have a smoked pork butt that I am trying to decide what to do with. Any suggestions?
So far I’ve only raw packed meat. Even though I know people can cooked meat all the time I haven’t been convinced that the texture is good. I guess I need to at least try it. Maybe I can have my son smoke a shoulder and can it in stead of freezing it.
Omg I laughed so hard! 😳🤣😂 I’m sorry for laughing 🤭 but it just happened automatically. Funny not so funny 😬 I’m a newbie and so happy I watched your video as I am going to attempt this tomorrow morning. 🤞 Thank u so much!

I took some time getting into canning, now I am hooked.
That was a great video just what I was looking for. Loved the comedian yelling boom as well. 😂😂😂

Thanks for watching, I love canning and have started filling my pantry a lot more with all the craziness going on
😂😂 love the dogs info he added
What cut of meat did you use?
Pork shoulder
Great info. You make this all look so easy.
It’s not hard at all. You should give it a try Beth. Have a great rest of your week.
That was hilarious when someone yelled boom lol loved your reaction.
Yes, he thought it was funny too...LOL
I was just researching pressure canners and this video was very helpful for a new canner. Thanks!
I am so glad it helped. I’ll be posting a few more soon. Just let me know if you have any questions and I will try to assist you. You’ll love canning
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to canning pulled pork😊
Hope you enjoy, it is not hard to do at all.. Happy 4th of July
You know your canning inside out. Grew up on a farm. We canned anything you could get in a jar. Home canned food taste so much better
Thank you Larry

Let me know what you think when you do it.

It is quite easy and I find it so satisfying preserving my own food and knowing what is put into it. Plus I have food security when I need it.

@@suea538 not at all. I thank you for catching that. We all learn together. Have a great rest of your week

It turned out very good. I too was initially concerned it would be mushy but it’s texture barely changed that I could notice.
Laughing hard! That scared me too! I thought you had gotten blown up by the canner! lolz Phew weeee
Someone would be in BIG trouble, if I were you🤣😂. Great video, Greg💕

thank you so much, and he will pay....just how and when is the question...LOL
@@gregscumberlachiakitchen LOL
People are so strange! Everthing they buy at the store in jars and cans have been pressure canned! Lol.
Exactly. But it's hard to change some people thoughts. Have a wonderful week
Looks delicious! Did you season the meat in your slow cooker before you canned it?
Yes I did with salt/pepper/garlic powder and that was all.
So who was it?.... the wife or a kid? It was funny though, lol. Your reaction was way better than mine would've been. Greg, was the pork smoked or not before you cooked it in the slow cooker? I have a smoked pork butt that I am trying to decide what to do with. Any suggestions?
Friend scared me. Mine wasn’t smoked but I have canned smoked ones before and they turn out well too. Let me know if you can it.
@@gregscumberlachiakitchen yup, I canned it last night. Looks good so I'm happy. Thanks for the reply.
So far I’ve only raw packed meat. Even though I know people can cooked meat all the time I haven’t been convinced that the texture is good. I guess I need to at least try it. Maybe I can have my son smoke a shoulder and can it in stead of freezing it.
Let me know what you think Rena if you do it. I don't see a big difference at all.
