Canning 7 Convenience Meals For The Pantry Shelf | 2 New Shelf Stable Meal In A Jar Recipes

Join me this morning in my homestead kitchen as I pressure can 2 new meal in a jar recipes to add convenience meals to the pantry shelf. These recipes make for quick and easy health meals for busy nights.

Chicken Curry
Per quart:
1/2 c onion
1/2 c potatoes
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
1/4 c raisins
1/2 c tomatoes or plain tomato sauce
1 lb chicken
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 clove garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
Chicken broth

*I omitted the raisins, used plain canned tomato sauce in place of the diced tomatoes, and I added a clove of garlic that the recipe did not call for. The original recipe calls for raw, boneless chicken in 2 inch pieces. I used partially cooked chicken as I find it more convenient to handle.

Fill a quart jar to 1 inch head space with all ingredients, then top with broth. Debubble, adjust headspace and apply lids and rings to fingertip tight. Process for 90 minutes at 10 lbs of pressure if using a weighted gauge pressure canner, or 11 lbs of pressure is using a dial gauge pressure canner. Adjust pressure as required if above 1000 ft elevation, see link below for details.

Pork Roast In A Jar
Per quart:
1/2 c onion
1/2 c potatoes
1/2 c celery
1/3 + 1/4 c carrots
1 lb pork roast, trimmed and cut into 2 inch chunks
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 c white wine
Chicken broth

*The original recipe from ball calls for beef roast, and red wine. I substituted pork roast and white wine. The recipe calls for 1/2 c potatoes, I omitted this and replaced them with an additional 1/4 c each celery and carrots. The recipe initially called for 1/4 c celery and 1/3 c carrots.

Fill a quart jar to 1 inch head space with all ingredients, then top with broth. Debubble, adjust headspace and apply lids and rings to fingertip tight. Process for 90 minutes at 10 lbs of pressure if using a weighted gauge pressure canner, or 11 lbs of pressure is using a dial gauge pressure canner.
