On Saturday while everyone was reeling from he local disorientation of stores being out of stock of items due to the CoVid-19 pandemic, I was in my homestead kitchen working on stocking my long-term pantry of corned beef.
I had a total of just over 18-pounds of corned beef that I was able to purchase earlier in the week for a GREAT price ($1.99/per pound) and I knew I wanted to get most of it canned up and placed in my pantry.
I chopped up, in big chunks the pieces of meat, placed them in clean and sterilized pint-sized jars, took all the safety precautions (wiped the jars with vinegar to remove any meat juices and placed them in my pressure canner.
I left one-inch headspace, added NO liquid (as the meat has some nice marbling throughout to make its own liquid) and pressure canned for 75-minutes at 10lbs of pressure.
I now have 24 pints of corned beef for the future. This is the only time of year I buy corned beef because it's usually at its lowest price of the year with St Patrick's Day being this month.
