Savory, delicious beef stew, with potatoes an carrots, including full canning instructions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 lbs beef roast or stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes (or smaller)
  • 12 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 8 cups carrots, sliced/diced
  • 3 cups onions, diced
  • 7 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • water or beef stock (note: can also use a combination of broth and tomato juice)

Equipment needed: 

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or stock pot, mix ingredients, except for broth, together thoroughly

  2. Pack loosely into quart or pint jars, leaving 3/4 inch of head space

  3. Fill with water or beef broth, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace, being sure to remove air bubbles if needed using a butterknife to reach and release air pockets

  4. Wipe the rim and fit with flats and lids, screw the band down firmly

  5. Prepare pressure canner according to the manufacturer’s instructions

  6. Arrange jars in the canner so that they aren’t touching

  7. Lock the canner lid and heat over medium-high heat until steam begins to escape

  8. Vent steam for 10 minutes, then close the vent/add your weighted gauge

  9. Continue heating to 10 lbs of pressure. For many canners, that’s when the weight begins to rock or jiggle. Some dial-gauge canners require you to keep an eye on them

  10. Process quart jars for 85 minutes and pint jars for 55 minutes (according to Ball canning standards)

  11. Turn off the heat and let pressure return to zero naturally before opening the vent and removing the jars. If you need to remove the jars while they’re still hot, place a towel on your countertop, carefully remove jars and place them on the towel, then cover with another towel to protect jars from drafts that could cause the glass to break. Let the jars remain undisturbed on the counter until completely cool

  12. After 24 hours, you can remove rings from sealed jars, and water jars

  13. Store in a cool place out of direct sunlight
