Canning and Pickling Meats & Fish

There are a few recipes on my site for pickling sausages and tripe and and fish and the like. You'll notice that they are for refrigerator-type pickling. The USDA does not approve of canning meats and fish at home, and I do not pass on recipes for home pressure canning meats and fish. Home canners do not perform well enough to can meat products at the high temperatures and pressures needed to insure against food poisoning. Home canners are not made to reach the high pressures that are necessary. You can find books with recipes for home canning meat and fish products. Do it at your own risk. I recommend NOT doing it.
