Cook it for now, can it for later.
I am not a sports fan. I had a brief flirtation with the excitement of professional sports last October when my home team won the World Series, but by and large sporting events just don’t make my radar. But there’s some kind of big football event coming up, I hear?
I don’t know thing one about football, other than that it’s a great incentive to break out the hearty, bold man foods. And my favorite man food is pulled pork.
This is something we make pretty often, but it is a bit of a chore. Between the roasting, cooling and shredding of the meat, it’s not exactly something you whip out on a Tuesday evening.
As with most labor-intensive foods, you might as well go big or go home. If you’re going to invest the better part of a day making something, go ahead and make a metric ton of it, then put it up for later. Yes, you heard me: You can can meat.
You’ll need a pressure canner for this. (But that’s fine since you got one to can your tomatoes last summer, right? RIGHT?) Meats are low-acid foods, and even though the sauce is fairly acidic, it’s not safe to can meats with the water bath method. Bonus: the secondary cooking in the high heat of the pressure canner further breaks down the connective tissues in the meat, rendering it softer and silkier than you can get from just a simple roast.
Sure, it adds an extra layer of labor to the whole process, but you’ll have jars of delicious pulled pork to pull from the pantry for many sporting events to come. Whatever they are.
