canning salmon

[trapper2000]

anyone  ever  try  to  can  our  salmon  ,  just  wondering  if  they  taste  like  store  bought  i  like  salmon  pattys 

[steelie24]

yes I've done it, tastes better than store bought...also we use to add a little ketchup for color, otherwise the meat turns all white...I think using a pressure cooker for about 90 mins does it, haven't done the canning in years though...also when I was stationed at King Salmon Alaska, two of us canned 15 cases of salmon using regular canning cans. In Michigan and New York I used the glass jars

   Do you use a pressure cooker or a pressure caner??


    This is what I looked like after spending 5 days in the Syracuse burn unit the last time I used a pressure caner......This was one week later...

I never tried canning Salmon but I did steelhead the other year and then made salad out of it(like tuna salad) and it was good. I just used a regular canner, not a pressure one. I would think that the salmon would be just about the same.

canned salmon aint worth that

If anyone has questions on canning then buy the Ball Blue Book on Canning/Pressure Canning. Its' been around forever and is full of useful information.  If you are buying a pressure cannermake sure it is under the USDA Published Process.
That's a horrible accident. Man it looks aweful. I'm guessing its one of the many reeasons they mandated safety features on pressure canners. I certainly wouldnt look at a pressure canner after that.

River caught, or caught out in the lake in June?

This happened about 18 years ago...   My wife and I were caning tomato sauce..   The gauge said no pressure on it and I went to remove the lid....   Was like a bomb going off...    The lid came off so hard it bent the range hood in a V... Through the jars out on the floor..  The only thing that saved me was taking off my shirt and jumping in a cold shower......   That's where the skin started sliding off...    Lucky I got my eyes closed in time, but it did burn up my nose..

 Yes it was an older one, I'm sure the new ones are much safer...      Now all our caning is done in a hot water boil on the propane cooker out on the deck.....     But theres some things you cant can without a pressure caner, like caned venison....

   Be careful using one...  Ya never know....
