Canning Bacon

I woke up this morning with new found energy.... 
The other day I went shopping for food
 (something I haven't done since payday, oops)
NO ONE has starved, even if they tell you other wise!
Okay back to my new found energy.
I went shopping and I seen a 10 pound box of Bacon 
"irregular" pieces for $14.95. I just couldn't pass that up!
Today I decided I was going to try my hand in canning strips of bacon.  

Here it goes.... (holding my breath)


 Your also going to need WIDE mouth jars. 
The bacon I used actually had more meat less fat.


add a half a strip of parchment to keep it from sticking to itself.

fold in halfRoll it up tight!















each quart jar holds about 1.25 pounds of raw bacon.











The bacon was then pressure canned at 11 lbs of pressure for 90 mins and cooled ... This is the finished product ... I'm super excited to try this. So maybe I will pop the top and make some for breakfast.


*** Update Bacon fried up nicely... was a little interesting getting the bacon out of the jar with greasy fingers. :~)

Until Next Time,

Amy
