Help needed for canning spaghetti sauce

[TMB]

Tommy..this is what I have, had it for over a year now and it's fantastic, I make all kinds of things in it..mashed potatoes, potato salad, hard boiled eggs, meats etc. Plus it does pressure cannign and is also a slow cooker. Price is reasonable for all that it does.

Thanks for the info guys,  one guy I talked with said if the sauce has meat in it I have to pressure can the sauce not water bath.

I have a lot to study it seems but that's half the fun!

Yes,meat requires pressure canning.If you want to get into this get an All American canner and you will have it in family for generations,it uses no gaskets.Its the best,and it costs like it,you can do this a lot cheaper if you want.

We have the 921,make sure it isnt too tall for your stove.They run around 200 bucks.

When you are doings soups,chili,meats,mustard,on and on,it will grow on you having food you made not loaded with chemicals...its a good thing.Its also time consuming so consider that.

Thanks for the heads up Spuds.  But the more I look into this vacuum sealing seems to be the best option for now.   Jut would not do enough canning to justify the cost.

Yes,what I outlined is a commitment to make it worthwhile for sure.Pams idea is good,kinda what I did in getting into stuffing sausages,I went cheaper to see If I would like it.Heck,freezing it is a good answer too,that certainly will work well. Just freeze em in tupperware style containers works great!No need to vacuum pack to freeze things like sauces and soups 

Why do you want to vacuum seal? It wont preserve it unless frozen.

For us,canning was another food hobbie that played into our gardening/foody and pantry hobby.

This is a nice thread. My wife has started her canning love. She wants the XL Pressure Cooker posted above too. My kitchen is getting full of Ball mason jars and lids. We love having the fresh ingredients on hand. I already have a FoodSaver (two actually) with canning kit. I guess I can help support her canning, since she is supporting my desire to go all in with smoking.  At least its not another pair of high heels or an expensive for no reason purse.

Canning is not her thing
