We also canned a LOT of veggies as a kid, 1500-2000 quarts a season, as I
recall. But we had a HUGE garden cor townies, and my Did was a prolific
gardener. We didn't can meat, but I think it was more because we didn't
have access to livestock. Meat was too expensive for our large family, and
we didn't have it a lot. And there was definately no extra for canning.
I, however, do. Mostly turkey, ham, and other meats that might be left
after a big feed, such as tomorrow. I also put up broth, gravy, and
shredded meat with gravy, for stews and soups. Note that I do this. My
wife does not do any canning. I have recently been toying with doing some
beef stew. Any good family recipes out there?
