Gordon's Shepherd's Pie recipe: • Classic Shepherd's Pie...
Cottage Stew (Canning Recipe)
Makes 7-8 pints
3lbs Ground Beef (use Ground Lamb for Shepherd's Stew)
1 1/2 cups very finely diced carrots
1/2 cup diced carrots (no more than 1/4" in diameter)
1/2 cup very finely diced celery
3 cups peeled diced low-starch potatoes
2 cups finely diced onions
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1T Salt
2 tsp Pepper
1.5T finely diced fresh Rosemary (or 1T dried Rosemary)
2 tsp fresh or dried Thyme
4-5 heaping Tablespoons tomato paste (about 3/4 of a 6 oz can)
4T Worcestershire Sauce
1 cup dry red wine (or 1 additional cup of broth)
2 cups unsalted beef broth (if using salted, adjust seasoning to taste)
Peel, dice and soak potatoes in ice water. Drain, and replace with fresh water as necessary to remove starch.
Brown ground beef, chopping as you go. If using unsalted beef broth, go ahead and add 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp pepper to season the beef. (If using salted broth, wait until the end to taste for seasoning.) Remove ground beef and set aside. Remove all but a couple tablespoons of beef fat from the pot.
Sauté onions, garlic, celery, carrots on medium low heat until translucent. Add remaining salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium high to start caramelizing veggies. Add tomato paste and let cook for about 30 seconds. Add drained potatoes. Add drained beef back into the pot. Mix into veggies.
Add red wine. Bring to a light boil while deglazing the bottom and sides of the pan. As the wine has reduced by half, add Worcestershire Sauce and Beef Broth. Return to low boil and let simmer about 15 minutes, until sauce starts to thicken just a bit.
While stew simmers, prepare canner and jars. Both should be hot prior to filling.
Once everything is ready, fill jars to a generous 1" headspace. Process in a pressure canner for 75 minutes at the appropriate pressure for your altitude. (See linked chart below)
Once processing is done, canner has completely cooled and all pressure has released, remove the jars to a protected surface and allow to sit undisturbed for 12-24 hours.
