PMcgrady, of course anyone may do as they choose to in canning, but adding meats and or fish, even already processed fish or meat, makes it a very different thing. Some of the things my grandmothers did in canning for many many years turned out to be found to be unsafe to do, even though the grandmothers did not make anyone sick or kill them as far as anyone knows.


Canning safely is science based on several factors, just as baking is; understanding and following the hows and whys may save some one's life. I share some of what I can up with others, so I figure I have the right to take risks with myself if I choose to do so, but not to put others at a potential risk deliberately and use approved and tested recipes.
