“Are you adding broth or anything when canning it?”

half a jar, because I raw pack it. I don’t want to cook it any more than it already is. I think it’s the 90 minutes of being boiled. So it’s no surprise, being very lean.

I don’t mean it’s dry as in not moist, because it’s in liquid the outside is moist. But it just has a dry overcooked flavor. None of the other meats I have canned turn out that way, they have fat in them.

So it finally occurred to me, 25 years later, that if I add in a little meat that has fat in it, that could solve it. I’m a slow learner

I tried raw pack once and didn’t like the results. I prefer to partially cook the meat, whatever it is, then dice it up, put it in the jar with some broth or water and can that up.

I usually just use them for soups and stews.
