You inspired me from other videos with your NESCO canner and I bought one! This will be my first canning of "meat" I'm so excited with your easy steps.

I'm so glad! I was initially intimidated by pressure canning, and for me, the Nesco just makes it so do-able. I think you'll be happy with it.

I really enjoyed your vid! I just got my Nesco and looking forward to using it.

[@Locally_Raised]

Thanks! I hope you love it as much as I do. Happy canning!

Hi Marta! I definitely will make the beef stroganoff . I would love the onion soup but my husband is finicky and won’t eat it. Thanks again!

[@Locally_Raised]

I think the beef stroganoff is the winner-easier to make, and more filling 😁

7/12/24 watching your channel from Beautiful South Iowa. Thank you, great explanations. I didn't realize u could use electric canner for pressure canning. Looks yummy

[@Locally_Raised]

Hi there! The beef stroganoff was definitely our favorite-I made another batch and we tore through it. Thanks for watching 😊

I'm thinking that ghee would be a great substitute for the butter in the Fr Onion prep. Also, I wonder if you could use beef tallow?

[@Locally_Raised]

Ooh, good call! Ghee would side step the whole issue of canning dairy. I’ve never tried caramelizing onions with beef tallow, but I think it would definitely be a good substitute from a food-safety standpoint.

You forgot to debubble your soup jars and measure them to 1” in this video. One jar looks over filled and one jar is about 1/2”lower.

[@Locally_Raised]

Thanks. I don't debubble with a texture like this soup--it's really just liquid. You're right that the head space was inconsistent. I've had issues with siphoning in the Nesco, so I've been erring towards allowing a bit more headspace than the recipe calls for.
