For 10 years I have been preparing meat in a jar according to this recipe. I keep it in the basement out of the fridge all year round. You can take meat from a jar with you anywhere, on a picnic or wintering. You always have lunch ready.
I am watching from the USA. I am in a state called Kentucky. My mother is from our Eastern Kentucky Mountains. A small village called Booneville KY. When she was a little girl, the only food that was available was the food that her family raised and stored for the seasons. I learned how to preserve food just like you. I love everything about cooking. I don't even mind the clean up. I enjoy your recipes.
That's awesome man! I want to do this as well. The way things are right now, it's a great time to learn and practice this method of meat preservation. Especially since I'm on the carnivore diet.
Great grandma was doing this, over 100 years ago! She also said "every ailment and disease is caused from the gut. Constipation causes more illnesses than any germ ever will" She was right about EVERYTHING!!! She and her family lived thru the Spanish flu, And they traveled across the country in a covered wagon , in a wagon train. She was born in 1875. Had her last baby, while picking cotton, in the field, in 1925. She had her, cleaned herself and baby up, put the baby in her apron and went back to picking cotton !!!! Amazing woman. On Fridays, She would cook a big, fried chicken dinner with all the fixings. She would set it all on the table and cover it with a cloth tablecloth. She never refrigerated that meal. All of us kids running in and out, she said it was silly to put it up. We ate thru the weekend, from that table. Being sure to keep everything covered back up. She said "it's not temperature, it's insects that land on your food that contaminate it". About 2 years ago, there was a big news story about temperature versus insects, making people sick with food poisoning. It was INSECTS. She was right about everything. We never got sick from eating what she cooked. She was an amazing and super smart woman. She never used harsh chemicals on floors or bathtubs, she always used fresh lemon juice, or vinegar, with a little baking soda. Made everything squeaky clean and sparkling. She died from old age at 107 years old. 1982. She said she was ready to meet the Good Lord, went to bed and told everybody where she was going. The next morning, she was gone.
Oh what an amazing story gave me goosebumps you know your beautiful great grandma is in Heaven with our Father awaiting you all, much much love, what a wonderful true story, may Our Lord bless you all, thank you for sharing your amazing Grandma🙏❤️🙏
Sounds like we had the same grandma, I remember being under 10 in the 80's filling a glass of raw milk from a used glass gallon maynase jar. I'm learning now, how unessery a refrigerator is, it's nice to have but way over used.
Howdy from Louisburg Kansas USA. It's not the people that have problems with each other, It's all the dam leaders. A hand full of men who control whether we live in peace or die in War. Having typed that. I wouuld like to say thank you for your time to make this video. God bless you for sharing this with the world. Very nice method, I will give it a go. We used to only canned vegetables from our garden. We never canned meat. Thanks again !!!
My great grandmother did something similar as she grew up without refrigeration. She also fermented a lot of vegetables and never refrigerated any of it. It would stay fresh for a few years. In fact when she died we cleaned out the basement and found her jarred food it was all dusty and no one would touch it as we had no clue how old it was, but I took it home and within 6 months I had eaten it all! It was all fresh and delicious, no botchulism. And I'm sure it was about 3 years old as she had been too sick to can anything for a few years, growing up her canning food was my favorite food so I was not gonna pass up one more opportunity to connect with her😢
Nice! I ferment a lot myself (sour kraut, kombucha, kefir, yogurt) and have pressure cooked a lot of deer bones. While some may find fault with a water boiling canning method (when not pressurized) because it doesn't kill botulism spores, this method is excellent to know about because in fact even If botulism developes, you can destroy the toxin by cooking, as long as you know to so that when you open the jars (just in case). Not all food born toxins are destroyed by cooking, but the fat on top here is superb in terms of sealing out the nasty's. As long as a mild seal remains on the jar lid, the fat itself usually won't mold or go rancid. I might leave less air space than this shows to have less oxygen react with the fat, but it is likely a minor issue. Great stuff, this old tradition!
Canned and preserved foods, if sterilised and stored properly can easily last for years and years. I don't have a pantry, cause I'd love to do some preserving myself. I do a lot of fermenting in small batches though.
You took a chance, but what an incredible gift you gave yourself. On top of that, you made sure her efforts didn't go to waste. This is such a beautiful story.
Northern Nevada, US here. I do a lot of canning - meat, veggies, fruit, everything. This recipe looks like water bath canning. I’m going to try this recipe just for the taste! Thanks very much. The old ways are coming back and it’s a good thing. We all need to know how to take care of ourselves and our families.
@@obsidianjane4413 Why is this not canning? It is canning potted meat. Canning uses a lid to create a seal. Potting uses lard to create a seal. This does both. I think it is both but ultimately it is canned under a sealed lid after pasteurization.
@@goodcitizen3780 Because canning and potting are two separate things. If she were canning, this would be a fail because she leaves gunk on the neck of the jar and those are not home canning lids. The only reason why this is not (completely) unsafe is because she pots them with a layer of fat.
Thank you for sharing that. It is so important that we share the processes that our grandparents used.... We need to preserve this knowledge. Our future generations just may need this knowledge more than they think they do. Your recipe looked delicious! I can't wait to make this! Thank you All the best to you & yours Ann
@@annfarmer9704 That is so true. This knowledge is treasure and needs to be treated as such. I'm so grateful to all those sharing freely for those of us who are ready to listen. 🙏
Hi! I'm from the interior of São Paulo Brazil! Seeing this technique reminded me of my childhood! My grandmother used to love pork and put it in large cans in the pig's own fat to preserve...Congratulations for the video and thank you for the wisdom you give us...God bless!
Thank you so much for teaching these techniques, I have the feeling that we will need it in he future. People have become much too dependent, when economy crashes they won't even know how to bake an egg, let alone preserve food and think long term. Greetings from Belgium.
I'm in Roanoke, Virginia, USA. I agree. It's so wonderful to see and learn from each other all around the world. These old traditions are priceless. Let's keep learning from one another. 🦋🌻
These are the things our kids should be taught in school. My daughter’s geometry class won’t give her any lifelong lessons to help her survive and succeed. Thank you for sharing this - Illinois 🇺🇸
@@TheOriginalFSword Yeah I fail to see how anyone could think this should be taught in geometry. It wouldn't have sounded so stupid if she'd said, "Why don't they bring back Home Ec and teach lessons like this?" However, even then, I'm going to counter with: It's not the school's job to teach our kid's survival skills. It's the schools job to teach the kids Geometry, which absolutely has a real world function in life. It's more telling that she thinks lessons like this should be taught by the school and not by HER. Stop shirking your parental skills onto the school and do it yourself. I teach my daughter how to hunt, how to prep and can vegetables for the year, etc. Should I ask the school to teach her how to hunt, too? No, that's absurd, because it's my job. Let's look at it more practically: Schools don't even teach kids how how our government works, 3 branches of government, or how to balance a checkbook like they did 20-30 years ago. They want your kids ignorant so they're reliant on the government. That's why it's important to not be a crap parent and do the job yourself or we end up with the idiot generations that we see in the teens-early 30s now.
@@Swearengen1980 Who said anything about teaching this stuff during... geometry? Obviously, it's completely irrelevant. Nevertheless, it would be useful to have relevant lessons, where such things would be taught (and years ago... there were). Also, why do conclude something like that would mean that school should replace parents? Does something taught in school automatically escape parental responsibility? School is a great guide and a place to learn (or should be) but it's the parents that shape a child's character. Naturally, there are things mainly taught by the family and others by the teacher. It doesn't mean that they can't blend and fill each other. And in any case, I fail to understand how teaching some life lessons in school automatically means that I believe parents don't want to get involved and shrink their parental skill. For some it might (don't know, I'm not one of them), not for everyone though.
Nekad davno, davno, su naši stari, držali pečeno meso u svinjskoj masti u velikim kacama, tj posudama, jer nije bilo frižidera! Veliki pozdrav tebi i tvojoj obitelji iz Hrvatske 🥰❤
O da, pa i dan danas se u Zagorju, Međimurju i Sloveniji priprema i čuva meso konzervirano u masti na sličan način. Slovenci i Zagorci to zovu zaseka, Međimurci meso z tiblice. I mi u Slavoniji na selu radimo slično, moja mama je često zimi pravila nareske iz masti uz dinstani kiseli kupus i krumpir na razne načine, sve zaliveno rastopljenom masti iz te kace. Jaoo, sad mi je to zamirišalo :-)
From South America Colombia, thank you so much for this video. The meat looks so tasty and a great way to have some in the times of need. God bless you and thank you again.
Всем привет. Отличный рецепт домашней тушонки. Так делают в Украине, России и других государствах пост-СССР. Используют любое мясо. Получается очень вкусно. Танюша, спасибо вам за рецепт.
I find it amazing how many other countries do their "canning". I was taught this same way many decades ago - in Europe -when I was a young girl. I now live in the USA and people think I am crazy when I do not follow the USDA canning guide lines. I am happy that you have such a great follow of your channel. 😍
Украина- Германия, низкий поклон вам и вашей бабушке за старинный проверенный рецепт, в современных реалиях эти рецепты и навыки необходимы простым людям для выживания. Здоровья вам, Штуттгарт
@@lilmaogaming1825 What a f@cking idiotic question. Did your parents not give you the attention you craved as a child for you to be seeking negative attention from the public. What a douche.
От всего сердца благодарю Вас Таня за прекрасные рецепты ! А мясо точно так же готовила моя бабушка! И я как будто бы сейчас пообщался с ней благодаря Вашему ролику !Я из Сибири ,Томск ! Мира , Добра ,и терпения Вам и Сербии в наше неспокойное время !❤❤
I am watching from the Czech republic. As teenagers, we took the same bottles with meat on Holiday under the tend in Croatia!My friend's mama prepare this meal for us. You have a lot excellent inventions. Thank you very much. Marie
Wow, I never knew how to do that and it's such a shame we have lost the basics of life. Thank you and I will be watching for more life lessons. Bless you from the UK 🇬🇧
Here in America we have been led to believe that we "need" many things...that we do not need.....Most Everything in America has been created for $$$ Monetary Gain/Greed.....Not to actually help people.....Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Toilets inside the house..........Come on man.
In the Appalachian Mountains of the southern US, that method is similar to what my great grandparents would have used for preserving meat. We have much in common; thank you for the excellent lesson!
Thank you for sharing this! I think the older methods of preserving our foods is becoming a lost art here in America, but I have always believed in being prepared for any eventuality. I'm always looking out for survival techniques and tips, and this helps a lot!
@@JP-xb3wc I doubt it. Olive oil wouldn't solidify. Also, keep in mind the war against fat is horrible. Fat like in Crisco is better for you than, say, margarine. If that's the reason you don't want to use animal fat, you can set your mind at ease about it.
Thank you ma'am for spreading your knowledge! This video just came up in my recommended from the algorithm and I'm glad it did! I've been working on for the last two years, on how to try to be more self-sufficient, and since then been gardening and growing my own fruits and vegetables, among other things to be prepared in case another pandemic or worse happens, and canning and pickling/other forms of food preservation have been things I've been learning, but I didn't know meat could be preserved like this at all, so thank you again. Best hopes and wishes to you from West Texas :) 🤠 🇺🇲 🤝 🇷🇸 ✌🏻🤟🏻
Howdy neighbor. Las Cruces, New Mexico here... I don't eat pork and would like to substitute the pork fat with beef fat. Is this o.k.? Stay warm and safe out there. ✌️😁🎭🙏
Always trust grandma, grandma was preparing food long before fast food or modern preservatives! Grandma always cooked with love as her secret ingredient!
Unless grandma is over 145-200 years old. No she wasn't... There really is no reason too use these methods and risk killing yourself and family with botch toxin. Just because it worked doesn't mean it worked all the time or better.
My grandma eats moldy bread because she says if you toast it it’s fine 😵💫 I know she grew up poor but grandma we have enough bread now! And also a fridge 😂
@@antonialoos546 Grandma survived The Great Depression, lost her husband (grandpa) in WWII, raised five kids while living in poverty, was taken advantage of by Jehovah Witnesses claiming they would help her, to the tune of$30,000 in jewelry and cash causing the poverty! Grandma learned to eat things, we might not think so savory because she had to! RIP Grandma, some people just don't get it!
We used this method to preserve deer we harvest. It makes the best venison I’ve ever tried. We just used broth to cover the meat not lard. But lard would make the venison much richer. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
If you are canning with jars that isn't the same as "potting" meat. In potting, you don't even need the lid, the fat is the "lid". The top just keeps dirt and ick out.
Help. Can someone explain how this works technically? So when the jars cool after 20 min after cooking the fat, does the fat solidifying create the seal? Is it the seal that protects the food from spoiling or the fat? Or both? Or does this technique create the seal? Does fat spoil less? And how do you store the fat so it doesnt go bad?
@@thesauce7783 Fat is hydrophobic. Impermeable to water. Bacteria and mold require water to do their thing. So they can't penetrate very deeply into a fat layer (if its not badly contaminated with food particles etc) to get at the food underneath. This is kind of "belt and suspenders" the lid keeps a seal, and the fat layer creates a barrier to contamination.
@@thesauce7783 From my understanding when using lard or tallow, it is it in itself that protects the meat and keeps it from spoiling. So in this case it seems two fold.
Greenwood, Indiana, USA: Thank you for making this video. I think it's important for all of us to learn these type of skills in case we need to use them. We've become so dependent on technology that many of the skills our grandparents needed to survive have been forgotten. We should all know how to can & preserve food to get us through harsh times.

Hey Boston! Me too! We r so uptight in the States w our food preservation. The methods we use r so new and we have lost the old ways of food preservation! God bless
@@emten7943 Hahaha!!! I just made a comment that the "USDA says" folks would really be triggered by this video!!! However...I'm 65 and my maternal grandfather kept a smokehouse with hams and all sorts of meat hanging from the rafters and I have strong memories that my grandmother preserved meat this way in the video. As far as health, I'm 65, and just had bunch of lab work done. My A1c is 4.1, my total cholesterol is 158, and every other marker is absolutely perfect...except my Vitamin D w-a-s low as well as magnesium...and I'm taking vitamin supplements for that. No other meds. I barely wear glasses meaning I read with no glasses, and wear glasses only at night for distance vision. Not bad for a 65 year old!!!
I’m in America in the state of Texas. I love that you we’re able to keep your grandmother’s long storage recipe for the meat. Thank you for sharing this much needed information. I will definitely try this meat storage recipe out. You are a wonderful person. 🙏🏼❤️👍
I'm also in Texas...and this is bringing back memories for me. I think my grandmother preserved meat this way. I know my grandfather kept a smokehouse to preserve hams and large cuts of meat.
@@shirleylampkin1037 We call it lard here in the USA. You can either contact your butcher and ask them to get some leaf fat or pork trimmings and render it down in your crockpot yourself...or you can get some in the baking aisle at your supermarket.
South Texas and I was raised in Ohio back in the eastern hills where we did the same thing only we did white sucker fish, deer, hog, squirrel, rabbit, sausages, and beef. We lined out basement shelves with this, canned vegetables, and fruit. Good to see others still doing this.
Watching from Philippines, from the city of butuan. I was scrolling and hoping to find easy preservation tutorial that doesnt need any equipment. Love to find you video. This one will be top of my list.
I'm 64 year old, and my grandma taught me the same thing. And I taught my daughter who is 46 year old, and between both of us, she taught her daughter, my granddaughter, how to do things for herself. Cook, can, and sew, and take care of herself when money got scares.
I came across your videos by accident but now I'm hooked on them. I am american but have been living in the Netherlands for 11 years. I love learning different cultures of cooking. . Please continue making videos.
Таня, это потрясающе! Спасибо за прекрасный лайфхак! Очень здорово иметь готовое мясо круглый год, особенно когда нет времени или очень устала, чтобы приготовить ужин!))) Огромная благодарность за то, что делитесь такими замечательными рецептами Вашей семьи! Вдохновения Вам для приготовления чудесных блюд для Вашей семьи и друзей ❣️
Almost every grand parent that i have in the rural part was using this recipe, the only difference was that they were cuting the meat in smaller pieces and they were using a biger pot and were puting inside sausages, pieces of meat and pieces of meat with bacon (rural made). They put everything on the fire to cookit well and after that, they put in the pot all the meat and puor over it melted lard with some condiments. and then the pot was put in the food shed, was staying there event for 10 months in perfect condition, the cheese was put in the pot as well with salt, the fruit was inside a big wooden box, eggs and everything was there, and they didint had electricity and living like that as a kid was perfect, no smartphones and laptops, and i was happy, during the sumer we even had cold water melon, because my grandfather was puting it inside a bucket and lower it in the well a night before, so everything was so perfect. Thank you so much for making me remember my childhood dear Tanja. And Keep up the good work, Only respect from Romania.
Fantastic job! I am from the US and as a child I would help my parents can meat and vegetables for winter. Now days I mostly just smoke and can fish to keep the tradition alive. These are the type of videos young people should be watching today. Thank you so much. 🙏
Why should young people watch this? It's interesting and used to be useful (or still is in places where you have actual space to live in) but for young people in tiny living spaces? Not so much. I dunno where you live, maybe 20 year olds own huge farm houses with 60 square feet of cold storage? They sure don't where I'm at.
@@akschmidt2085 It's always useful to have food stored without electricity. if there is a power outage they have preserved cooked food to eat. And it saves money. Mind you it doesn't have to be a lot either. But, do you remember with COVID it was hard to find groceries and meat because of the shortage? How can you not see the benefit in this?
Think about the story of the ant and the hare.... You can put out all the tips and ideas you can think of and many like a poster on here will just complain and find excuses as to why they "can't" whatever the situation is.. I think it's great people keep doing things they learned as children, peace of mind and staying one or two steps ahead.. I have thought about canning leftover meals into jars as well as freezing in the air free bags. I also dehydrate fruit or veggies going soft before they go bad. ( Grind into a seasoning)
@@akschmidt2085 really man. You have brain rotting shit tier garbage like "She Hulk" on TV and you're complaining that people are watching this? Please touch grass lol
@@mariap.thisislife8735 я люблю таких людей, как вы! Это здорово, потому что я тоже думаю как и вы! И так же поступаю! Я из России 👋 спасибо за ваш позитив 🤝🥰
Hey Lady, this is so important for Americans to learn. We have forgotten these skills. In these times this is invaluable information. Thank you from Maine, Fema region 1.
Thank You!! I know my Mom canned meats when we lived on the ranch. I was so little when they moved into town, and had electricity, that I cannot remember much of what and how Mom did things. (My Dad was born in 1887, Mom in 1903, I in 1940.) Watched this from south central Idaho USA in 2022.
Your video let me feel connected to my late grandmother, who was born in Hungary and grew up in Austria until WW2. She never spoke much English but showed me a love and respect for food. Thank you for this! Simon, Sydney Australia
Thank you so much! I’m from Phoenix located in Arizona in the southwest of the United States. My family is from the north (Idaho, Montana) area. This family knowledge of basic survival has been lost to me and since I’ve subscribed to your page I’ve learned how my family survived. So thank you so much! I’m going to start practicing what you have taught me. Please keep teaching us! ❤
Sećam se divnog ukusa mesa koje je moja baba čuvala u salamuri. Hvala, Tanjuška, što nam ne dozvoljaš svojim receptima da zaboravimo ta lepa vremena. ♥️
@@dragananovakovic4153 Pozdrav i Vama, moji baba i deda su to radili tako što su sekli meso na odgovarajuće komade i onda ređali u tegle. Red mesa, pa so, pa malo masti, pa onda meso i tako dok se napuni tegla. Odozgo se dobro premaže mašću da ne ulazi vazduh i dobro zatvori tegla. Ja znam za ovaj način, možda neko zna neki drugi.
I saw a video on RU-vid on how to safely prepare poke salad and another on how to make flour and cook with acorns. This has been done on 3 continents according to the videos for hundreds of years.
Hello from NE Tennessee USA! So happy and proud to see someone else who still uses lard in canning. Very good info . Thank You so much! My grandmother always used lard as well as saving all bacon grease for spreading on her toast.

Señora Tanya gracias por compartir esta maravillosa receta! Importante saber esta tecnología de nuestros abuelos para estar preparados en la época actual. Saludos desde Puebla México. 🇲🇽💖👏🏾
That is awesome. I live in a town called Deltona in the state of Florida. I am just getting into canning and I love to see the preservation practices that all people from around the world have used for a long time. I wish I had my grandmother teach me the way they used to do it in the old days.
