Canning carnitas today. Carnitas means “little meats” in Spanish. This recipe calls for powdered onion and garlic, which I only ever use for rubs, but in the interest of time, rather than chop a bunch of stuff, I followed exactly, however I added a half Serrano pepper to each jar. I - Upgoat

I used picnic shoulder roast, about ten pounds. It’s leaner than butt roast and cost a tiny bit more due to boneless. I don’t want to debone, I just want to cube and stuff jars. I’m sure this would have been better with fresh onion and garlic, but I have three other irons in the fire.

I’ll report back.

Pressure canning meat has been on my list-of-shit-to-try for some time now but never got around to it. Is there some sort of at home test you can do to determine if it's safe to eat?

It’s safe to eat if you follow directions. 90 minutes at 11lbs preasure or better. Lids pop in when cooling.
