Canned Pork Recipes:

One of my grandmother’s favorite recipes is the lamb and sweet potato cottage pie that I wrote about a few weeks ago. This time, I decided to make canned pork, one of my grandfather’s favorite recipes, as a way to memorialize him.

Grandparents are a real rich mine for ideas when it comes to creating a tasty new Paleo meal. Growing up, they ate far more natural, wholesome food than we did, and it wasn’t quite as bad as most modern diets.

When I reflect on it, I can see how fast food has changed between the generations of my grandparents and me. Even while they were still dealing with certain dietary problems, including consuming gluten, things have improved since then.

I just love to make this kind of supper on a Sunday morning because it takes a long time to prepare. It is time well spent because you will have enough servings for multiple meals or light snacks. It’s handy to keep a few jars of canned pork in your fridge for those moments when you just want something to eat quickly and don’t feel like cooking.

Simply add eggs or fresh fruit to a delectable breakfast to incorporate canned pork. Since it is so useful, especially in an emergency, I make it a point to always have some in my refrigerator.

For this recipe, you’ll need some canning jars. Jars for canning are an excellent way to store food in your home and will last you a very long time. However, you must check the jars before using them every time:

• Verify that there are no chips or cracks in the jars themselves. Should they not, they might shatter when cooking.
• Reusing the jars is safe as long as they are undamaged. Since the rubber seal on each lid weakens with heat and might not form a proper seal on the second usage, you’ll need to buy new lids every year. Lids ought to be brand-new and should never be reused.
• In addition, the rings must be replaced if they have become rusty.

• When these are prepared, you may begin canning some succulent pork!
