after watching this video I am canning meatballs I love them just for a snack while watching tv and to lazy to cook a meal LOL oh well just me now , :-( hubby passed away so I don't have to cook as much as before. My husband got me into canning :-) He loved showing me the things his Mom taught him to can. So I guess you would call it passing down the tradition :-) I know it is fun and it is super fun watching you , I have watched and learned from you a lot from quilting to canning. Thank you and God Bless you and yours.
I can't WAIT to receive my first ever pressure canner (doubles as a regular water bath canner, too!...who knew?!). I've been putting it off for forever out of fear of exploding canners. But now is the time to get over my silly fear and take the proverbial horse by the reins! I've been collecting canning jars and I'm ready to get this canning show on the road! So excited to get all kinds of meats done and my new canner is just in time to get all my home grown tomatoes canned up, too, once it's time to harvest. Thank you for this video!!
Thanks, Bev!!! I have 13 pints of ground turkey/pork, seasoned with sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic and salt, processing right now in the pressure canner!! Then doing beef meatballs next 😊
I do almost the same thing, but I put them in the oven for 15 mins at 350, they are cooked through. I put chopped onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire, salt, and Montreal steak spice in the meat. I also sometimes put yellow beans and potatoes, the broth I put can be used to make gravy later. Great video!
I absolutely LOVE & APPRECIATE the fact that you stress safety, rules and NOT to try to rush the cooling down process. People new to canning need knowledgeable and seasoned canners like you to guide them. Too often I've seen other channels saying that the blue book or FDA says do it 1 way but grandma did it another so they use granny's methods. A couple even say it's okay to pull the weight off as soon as times up i always laugh when they wonder why their jars don't have much broth and need vigorous cleaning to remove grease from outside or jars don't seal. THANK YOU for teaching responsible canning and preserving
I have been watching you for about two years. I have learned so much from you. I have canned almost everything you have showed on your channel. I will have to can these meatballs when the weather cools. Thank you so much.
We are fixing to homestead soon! My husband is going to get me a pressure canner! These meatballs look so yummy! Thanks for being you! You are precious!
Because I missed out on canning last year, I am canning early this year to get ready for harvest canning. I thought of canning meatballs, and WOW! you had a video on it!! So, once I can all the sprouted chickpeas, and the lentil soups, I am going to can your meatballs recipe, which looks super scrumptious. Thanks again, Bev!
its hunting season, hubbies son brought over a deer, I skinned it for him, and he leaves me some meat, after grinding and mixing, I made 976 meatballs, than canned 28 quarts, enough went in the freezer for 3 meals, Thanks for reminding me of another meal I can have on the shelf, I shared on one of my facebook pages, new idea for many,
Love those quick meals! I am so behind in canning because of sharing a kitchen with my nightmare MIL. They are moving out soon, thank you Lord! And we are moving to a Homestead FINALLY in a month or two, Whoohoo! Thanks for sharing this video, those look good, I had thought of doing them before but may try that soon, I love quick stuff on my shelf for those I feel like crap days! ~Mandy B
Apparently, you take your vines and give them a good beating in a bowl. Then you cover them with any vinegar you like, cover the bowl, put it in the refrigerator and wait for at least an hour(said the video I watched, but I assume the longer you let it sit the stronger the flavor). Strain the vinegar with a cheese cloth and store in a mason jar. I bet it'd be wonderful for dressings and sauces!
i do that with my spaghetti sauce without meat . it adds so much flavor n smells wonderful . i just fish them out when it's done cooking . i learned this from an italian guy on you tube . it makes sense now with the vinegar . ty for sharing , i'm so doing this . have a great week !!!
I have. Research it well & decide for yourself. I've really looked at the Mennionite & the Amish. I've canned milk, pumpkin butter, sweet potatoe butter for yrs. Practice correct headspace & cleanliness.
Good video, of course!!! I just did these up this a.m. & , even tho lean ground, (Metro's in-store special), I am amazed at how much, (tho not "tons"), fat comes up!! Oh well, I think the thin layer, in the jar, helps keep the meat fresh. There was even some under the rings, as I removed them tonight, (I was up early, has been more than 12 hrs)!! So, I think wiping the rims with vinegar somehow helps protect against post-closing-up-the-jars-fat-leakage. The newbies should NEVER skip or scrimp on steps; so sad to see so many posting BAD canning practices! Glad u r having a bountiful autumn!! All the best 💖
Great video, Mrs. V! I had a nasty pressure cooker incident as a novice cook, so have never used one since, but you make it look easy! I may have to try again. It took me a long time to get that chicken soup off my ceiling! I do a lot of water bath canning successfully. Love from Iowa ~Lori~
omg now I'm afraid all over again lol I'll be receiving my first pressure canner soon and this is my fear. Although, chicken soup on the ceiling is the BEST case scenerio playing over in my mind. ((sigh)) Wish me luck!
Made meatballs. Came out great! DAUGHTER ASKED WHY. USED YOUR PHRASE, BECAUSE I can. Like telli g others that now. Thank you for all your videos. Keep making more videos. Learning so much fro. You.
If you are going to import one all the way to the UK..get a GOOD one..an All American! I have one..but it is still in the box..waiting for the day my others start breaking down..because the all american lasts forever!
I baked meatballs and canned with beef broth but dont like the taste so I am going to fry them in a cast iron pan then can them and see how that works for me. I may just can them in water this time or do half n half. Thank you Mrs. V for all you do.
Those look delicious! I'm trying to get back into canning and pressure canning. It's been A WHILE!!😊 I marvel at your energy. I too have fibromyalgia and most days I can't get off the couch but I am trying! I think I'll try meatballs. 😊
Well that's awesome....guess I will be canning meatballs...oh by the way I canned your maple syrup carrots and can't wait to try them...thank you so much for all you do 😍
Wow never would have thought of that, thanks so much for sharing that. I would love to have your recipe you mentioned about gravy and cheese ???? Mmmmmm
That's easy! Butter a casserole dish..boil some noodles..throw in a sliced onion, some mushrooms and celery..the meatballs and some gravy..top with with grated parmesan cheese and bake!
Hi I was wondering if you could tell me if I could use store bought meatballs to can. I have 4 large bags in my freezer I bought them from Walmart and I didn't realize I had two bags already in my freezer and need to do something with them
I'm going to try doing meatballs and canning them, last year I did northern beans and ham and I canned that in pint jars - works great for a quick lunch :) :)
Just wondering abt lids. I think I remember someone saying that the new lids that come on the new jars at the store can not be used for pressure canning or any wet canning. They can be used only for dry canning. Does it have something to do with the brown rubber seal on the lid?
I have not heard this but I believe that the new ball lids do not need to be heated in hot/boiling water to soften them. Always a good idea to do a little research.
That's great. I got myself an all american pressure canner and it's pretty big. What if you don't have enough jars to fill it up? Can you run through partial batches, or should you can something else with it? I love your videos I've picked up a few great recipes. I must say.
Hello! I love your channel. I hope this is an ok place to post this question. I am fairly new to pressure canning. i recently canned some stewed tomatoes. when they were done the liquid level was a little low, maybe an inch below the recommended head space, and there were tomatoes stuck in the lid. the lid seemed to be sealed. Is it safe to keep them or do I have to throw them away? Thank you so much from a panicked newbie.
Meatballs, pasta, sauce, cheese...boom, job done....yummy..... Gracie was like " Mommy , did I miss something tasty ? "..... lol.... yes Gracie you sure did
I love to watch it continue to bubble, I don't know why,..... I find it fascinating.... I have had sausage links bubble for two hours outside the canner. Why does it do that? The seal has already made the popping sound. The ceiling fan has been continuously spinning, cooling them down... still bubbling... hahaha.. my crazy thoughts for the day :)
Ok! I just canned up some of these awesome meatballs!! I did not use parmesan to bind. I did use Better Than Bouillon for the liquid, but I had like a quart leftover. Do I can that for next time or pour down drain? Thank you!!
if i remember she did a video on what you are asking a long while ago . it would be in her search . hope this helped if bev doesn't answer . have a great week ahead !!!
OurHalfAcreHomestead I don't can. Nor do I have the equipment to do so. I thought this might be an alternative to having my meatballs when someone drops by for a visit and I don't have time to make my special spaghetti & meatballs. It would be a boon to just pull them out & put them in some homemade gravy. Instead of having to make the MB's & the sauce.
This is so funny, I was just looking in my canning book at how to can meatballs!!! 🙌😁 I live in an apartment so canning meat sounded better than freezing. Good video Bev! :-)
I have never canned meat, but I so want to try. Will the meatball have a mushy consistency when you open the can or will it remain firm? Dave is wanting me to can bacon jam. Is there anything I should do differently than what you've taught me here?
I thought pints were 75 minutes. I process my meats in pints at 15 per-p at 75 minutes. Please explain. I’m confused. Ty for the vid and info. Take care.
Dear Mrs. Volfie. Do you ever have a problem when opening the meatball jars later that the meatballs are falling apart or easily crack? Or do they stay solid rounds from both leaving the jar through cooking them?

making spaghetti and meatballs from pantry stock tonight!

Love watching your videos! You have taught me so much! Thanks Because!
I love your videos, and that tablecloth is so adorable!!!!

Have been wondering what to pressure can that would create a fast food meal for winter, this is perfect, thank you Mrs.V!
my pleasure!
like the detail you go into each time you can something.
I am a visual learner..so That is how I show
Have just discovered you and been watching you doing the dehydrating. Happy to see this was you 😊😊
Thanks I enjoyed learning. They look great!
I love your videos Mrs Boogie I have learned so much watching your videos ty I am new to canning ty have a blessed day
I just planted a bunch of mums too! They're just so darn pretty and easy to care for.
P.S. Has anyone ever made any tomato vine vinegar?
interesting !!!! love to learn this !!!!
Apparently, you take your vines and give them a good beating in a bowl. Then you cover them with any vinegar you like, cover the bowl, put it in the refrigerator and wait for at least an hour(said the video I watched, but I assume the longer you let it sit the stronger the flavor). Strain the vinegar with a cheese cloth and store in a mason jar. I bet it'd be wonderful for dressings and sauces!
never heard of it!
i do that with my spaghetti sauce without meat . it adds so much flavor n smells wonderful . i just fish them out when it's done cooking . i learned this from an italian guy on you tube . it makes sense now with the vinegar . ty for sharing , i'm so doing this . have a great week !!!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Mrs V, can you add grated parmesan cheese to help bind?
That I can't say because I don't can dairy products
@@OurHalfAcreHomestead ah, I didn't even think about that! Ok well it was a thought, lol. Thank you! ☺
I have. Research it well & decide for yourself. I've really looked at the Mennionite & the Amish. I've canned milk, pumpkin butter, sweet potatoe butter for yrs. Practice correct headspace & cleanliness.
@@corrinnacorrinna5572 I have heard of people doing it but Ive never tried it! I wondered if it changed the taste of milk? Thanks so much!
oooooohhhh what a pretty stove, you so deserve new appliances for all that you do.
Thanks Honey!
I was just thinking about that and here you go showing me how to do it. Thanks Dear!!
This is something I've never tried, but I'm gonna! Lol!
Thanks for your continual inspiration!😊
They look wonderful Bev.
Thanks! They are delicious too!
Good video, of course!!! I just did these up this a.m. & , even tho lean ground, (Metro's in-store special), I am amazed at how much, (tho not "tons"), fat comes up!!

Ok, I have to say - you are making me want to learn how to can EVERYTHING!! Just don't can Mr. Volfie!!!
AS LONG AS HE STAYS OUT OF MY WAY!~ LOL
Susan Williams hi sister of mine!!
Love your videos ❤️ I watch them all day at work ..lol I work at a egg farm..
You go girl, meals for the future and a meal for the present. Helloooo Gracie! Thank you
My Pleasure..and they are delicious!
Great idea thanks for sharing.
YUM! I canned a 12 pack of French pork meatballs a couple years ago and they're still awesome! Now I want to try your recipe.
Great video, Mrs. V! I had a nasty pressure cooker incident as a novice cook, so have never used one since, but you make it look easy! I may have to try again. It took me a long time to get that chicken soup off my ceiling! I do a lot of water bath canning successfully.
Love from Iowa ~Lori~
Try it again you can do it
omg now I'm afraid all over again lol I'll be receiving my first pressure canner soon and this is my fear. Although, chicken soup on the ceiling is the BEST case scenerio playing over in my mind. ((sigh)) Wish me luck!
Watch 3 or 4 videos stressing safe canning and examine your canner parts and you will do great!
Made meatballs. Came out great! DAUGHTER ASKED WHY. USED YOUR PHRASE, BECAUSE I can. Like telli g others that now. Thank you for all your videos. Keep making more videos. Learning so much fro. You.
I love you and your videos! I learn so much from you.
Thank You for an awesome video,i enjoyed it!
Perfect timing! Hamburger was on sale. Way more exciting than canning ground burger again. :)
They look great!! Nice recipe and advice about the filler
I love having them in the pantry!
What a good idea to grind up dehydrated veggies to replace bread as a filler. Thank you for the canning lesson.
Nancy Moe my pleasure!
First time watching, loved your video!
Looks yummy, I canned ground venison today for the first time, next is ground beef! Thanks for the video.
Those look delicious! I am with Volfie. I want some now!!
Canning is not widely done over here in the UK, but I am seriously looking into it. What are you top tips for choosing a canner?
If you are going to import one all the way to the UK..get a GOOD one..an All American! I have one..but it is still in the box..waiting for the day my others start breaking down..because the all american lasts forever!
Love having meat canned makes life so much easier.. great job Mamma! ❤️💋
catching up on videos honey? It DOES make life much easier!
I have been wanting to can meatballs, but haven't had the time to do it. They look great!
Now I know how!! We love meatballs! Good one!
I made these and they were so good, a keeper!
I baked meatballs and canned with beef broth but dont like the taste so I am going to fry them in a cast iron pan then can them and see how that works for me. I may just can them in water this time or do half n half. Thank you Mrs. V for all you do.
Love your assistant!
yup she's in there like a dirty shirt!
These look great!. Are they to be pressure canned for 75 mins?
great idea and i sure hope you made a video for the dinner you made from the rest . yum they look awesome !!!!
no video for dinner..just noodles and gravy, mushrooms and onions baked altogether with the meat balls and parmesan cheese!
i know what i'll be trying soon !!! ty bev
Do you think you could use potato flakes as a binder and it would be safe to can?
You asked my question 😂
I don't see why not?
What if you put some tomato powder in the jars as well? I know that would limit the uses but that would HAVE to be amazing flavors!!!
Great idea! They look yummy.. thanks for all you do.. 👍🙂
My Pleasure!
looks great. one question does it change the texture very much
nope firm and moist!
gonna have to try this with deer meat . It is almost deer season here in nc I think its bow season already
Great idea!
You amaze me! I'm wondering about the texture after canned, is it very soft?
being canned in broth they are firm but juicy
Can you can in tomato/spaghetti sauce? That’s my plan, if I can.
🍝🧆
Looks yummy and easy! Love your videos!
we had some last night in spaghetti
Cant go wrong with spaghetti and meatballs! Blessings!
Those look delicious!
I'm trying to get back into canning and pressure canning.
It's been A WHILE!!😊
I marvel at your energy.
I too have fibromyalgia and most days I can't get off the couch but I am trying!
I think I'll try meatballs.
😊
Shirley Taylor
I've canned meat balls before but in tomato sauce. I think without sauce is a good idea as it give more options when you're ready to use them.
Well that's awesome....guess I will be canning meatballs...oh by the way I canned your maple syrup carrots and can't wait to try them...thank you so much for all you do 😍
Wow never would have thought of that, thanks so much for sharing that. I would love to have your recipe you mentioned about gravy and cheese ???? Mmmmmm
me too !!! yummmmmmm
That's easy! Butter a casserole dish..boil some noodles..throw in a sliced onion, some mushrooms and celery..the meatballs and some gravy..top with with grated parmesan cheese and bake!
yum , ty bev !!!
+OurHalfAcreHomestead I will be that a try....you make my supper almost....to easy :)
Hello! Thank you for the video! Could you pls tell me why can't you use bread crumbs in the meatballs?
I have a small presto pressure cooker..Is there a reference to use for cook times?
Hi I was wondering if you could tell me if I could use store bought meatballs to can. I have 4 large bags in my freezer I bought them from Walmart and I didn't realize I had two bags already in my freezer and need to do something with them
Awesome! Loved the name of this one also!
Thanks!!
I'm going to try doing meatballs and canning them, last year I did northern beans and ham and I canned that in pint jars - works great for a quick lunch :) :)
I will soon be doing something with my leather britches!
Leather britches, I get a chuckle out of the name
Do you have to use a liquid? Or would it not work with out it?
You probably could can them without broth..but they have to be cooked..and they might come out dry
Just wondering abt lids. I think I remember someone saying that the new lids that come on the new jars at the store can not be used for pressure canning or any wet canning. They can be used only for dry canning. Does it have something to do with the brown rubber seal on the lid?

yes you can do partial batches in a pressure canner.
Thank you!
my pleasure!
Hello! I love your channel. I hope this is an ok place to post this question. I am fairly new to pressure canning. i recently canned some stewed tomatoes. when they were done the liquid level was a little low, maybe an inch below the recommended head space, and there were tomatoes stuck in the lid. the lid seemed to be sealed. Is it safe to keep them or do I have to throw them away? Thank you so much from a panicked newbie.
Oh looks sooo tasty!!!!
Hi hope you can help with this question can you can the meatballs in spaghetti sauce or should I do it separately thanks so much
Meatballs, pasta, sauce, cheese...boom, job done....yummy..... Gracie was like " Mommy , did I miss something tasty ? "..... lol.... yes Gracie you sure did
she got a meatball at supper!
OurHalfAcreHomestead she sure is lucky...lol
Hi Mrs. V would you recommend canning them in spaghetti sauce too?
yummolicious
I bet your house smells wonderful all the time; what with the spices and broths that you can with. Mmmm!
always smells wonderful in canning season!
I can't wait until I get my canner. I'm saving up for it.
I'm not real fond of canned ground meat. The texture is "off". How do these come out? I'd love to do some meat balls. Hubby loves them.
making spaghetti and meatballs tonight!
I love to watch it continue to bubble, I don't know why,..... I find it fascinating.... I have had sausage links bubble for two hours outside the canner. Why does it do that? The seal has already made the popping sound. The ceiling fan has been continuously spinning, cooling them down... still bubbling... hahaha.. my crazy thoughts for the day :)
for how long can stay ?
Ok! I just canned up some of these awesome meatballs!! I did not use parmesan to bind. I did use Better Than Bouillon for the liquid, but I had like a quart leftover. Do I can that for next time or pour down drain? Thank you!!
Can it. Why waste it. You likely don't need to can it as long if it wasn't cross contaminated but don't quote me on that.
What attachment did you use on your kitchenaid to mix the ground beef?
Just the regular beater bar
Hmm, do you ever make them & them vacuum pack them for the freezer?
IF so do you add fillers them?
Thanks
if i remember she did a video on what you are asking a long while ago . it would be in her search . hope this helped if bev doesn't answer . have a great week ahead !!!
If I was doing them for the freezer I would..but I don't like the frozen ones..they lose flavour and texture in the freezer
OurHalfAcreHomestead I don't can. Nor do I have the equipment to do so. I thought this might be an alternative to having my meatballs when someone drops by for a visit and I don't have time to make my special spaghetti & meatballs.
It would be a boon to just pull them out & put them in some homemade gravy. Instead of having to make the MB's & the sauce.
Your caption is toooo cute 💚
This is so funny, I was just looking in my canning book at how to can meatballs!!! 🙌😁
I live in an apartment so canning meat sounded better than freezing. Good video Bev! :-)
Wonderful!!
Can I can frozen meatballs that are cooked?
How tender were these please. Want to do this
lovely and tender I am going to can some soon again!
I have never canned meat, but I so want to try. Will the meatball have a mushy consistency when you open the can or will it remain firm? Dave is wanting me to can bacon jam. Is there anything I should do differently than what you've taught me here?
Do you follow the instructions from a recipe regarding the psi or do you use it according to your elevation.
I thought pints were 75 minutes. I process my meats in pints at 15 per-p at 75 minutes. Please explain. I’m confused. Ty for the vid and info. Take care.
Dear Mrs. Volfie. Do you ever have a problem when opening the meatball jars later that the meatballs are falling apart or easily crack? Or do they stay solid rounds from both leaving the jar through cooking them?
Is it safe to add the eggs?
