My goal is to learn how to can wild game. The idea you have food that doesn't rely on electricity/freezing appeals to me.

A better approach for meat, although it is not for everybody, is to make jerky out of it. My wife and I have spoken about the canning of marinated meat in the past, the issue we have run into is the amount of salt, I need to be on low salt, my jerky process was in the process of modification to address this, need to get back on that.

No, its ounces, that variety is Brandywine, I have a few Cherokee Purple coming in at 21-22 oz. so far. The weather here has been brutally hot and no rain for weeks, its a mess.

With tomatoes like that y'all can just use two thick slices as the bread and put the meats and cheeses between them haha. That's a big one for sure. Good for throwing at people no doubt

You got me curious. Apparently the heaviest tomato on record weighed 11.65 pounds and was grown in Minnesota.
