I had to buy some pork shoulder that I saw today for 99 cents a pound. All these stories are making me nervous. So I’ll be canning pork and some chicken next week while hubby is on travel. I can’t bring myself to pay the high cost of beef just to can it. But maybe when I’m done with the pork and chicken :-)
