Quick and Easy Pork "canning"

Pork was on sale for only $1.99/lb so I had to fill some of my empty bottles.
Step 1: cut meat into 1/2 inch slices.
Step 2: Lightly grill on both sides This step is optionally.
Step 3: Place sliced meat into clean mason jars. You may need to trim meat to fit. I love the wide mouth for this but if you have small mouth then meat may be cubed.
Step 4: Have a pan of water boiling, ready to go and fill the jars down 1 inch from the top and optional is to add 1 teaspoon of canning salt to each jar.

Step 5: place new lids and rings onto jars (just lightly tighten so air can escape from jars)
Step 6: Place 7 jars into your pressure cooker and pressure at 12 lbs for 1.5 hours
            (you need to know what elevation you're at to adjust the required pressure).
This is an ideal way to have meat ready to go in minutes. I use the pork as dinner steaks, mix for a sandwich spread and my husband tells me it will make good soup. Bottle meat stores a long long time.
