Canning store-bought ham
I know you have talked about canning store-bought ham in the past, but I can’t find any instructions from you about how to do it. With the holidays upon us, hams are relatively inexpensive, and I’d like to try to can some ham.

The way I do ham is to heat the ham in a roasting pan until warm throughout. Then I cut the ham into 1? slices, chunks or dices and pack hot into hot jars, leaving 1? of head space. I make a ham broth or just pour boiling water over the ham, leaving 1? of head space. Wipe the rim of the jar clean, place a hot, previously simmered lid on the jar and screw down the ring firmly tight. Process half pints and pints for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes at 10 pounds pressure in a pressure canner. (altitude adjustments possible over 1,000 feet; consult your canning manual)
This ham is great and I use it every week! I’m buying it on sale right now, too. I think you’ll see the price of meat skyrocketing pretty soon. Good move! — Jackie
