I'm curious too. I remmeber my granny and my paternal aunts canning lots ofMeats and low-acid items get canned under pressure now, but you are all right that it certainly hasn't been so....when I was a kid my uncle raised broilers, and if they weren't at a good price when they reached broiler weight, the community canned them for church. So that's about 19,000 chickens (20,000 as delivered chicks) into glass jars and waterbathed on wood stoves, for 3 ½ hours each. Since I was the smallest female about, my hands packed every jar.
stuff, but my memory is faulty and they are all dead. I thought some on this
list said thaty certaon things like meat had to be canned under
pressure?.......................
