I have lots of left over ham and would like to can the bones for soup and can deviled ham spread for sandwiches. Does anyone know how to do this do you have a recipe or instructions for doing it? I would love to have your input. Thanks for your help.

For ham soup bones I simmer them to make stock just as I do for any other meat bones. Pick all of the meat and combine it with the stock and can it.

As for canning the meat for spreads I use quarter pints and wide mouth half pints and pack the meat pieces in and add a bit of stock, observe proper head space and process as for pints. When the meat comes out of the jar you can mash it with a fork and season it any way you want.

Thanks Ross that is a great help. How long do you process the 1/4 pints of ham pieces?

Hi All,

This is my first post – ever – anywhere.  happy-flower

I'm going to try canning leftover ham & beans.  I plan to leave 1" head space for expansion.  Any other thoughts?

Miss Nellie, here's a recipe that I have canned that's pretty tasty. Drain very well before adding some mayo.

 

Ham Sandwich Spread

 

4 c chopped cooked lean ham

1/2 c vinegar

1/2 c chili sauce (such as Heinz)

1/2 c chopped pickle

1/4 c pickle juice

2 Tbsp prepared horseradish

1 Tbsp prepared mustard

1/4 tsp pepper

 

Combine all ingredients. The mixture should be a little thinner than

needed for spreading. If dry add a bit of meat stock to moisten.

 

Pack into prepared half pint jars leaving a 1" headspace. Process for 75

minutes at 10 lb pressure. Adjust pressure according to altitude and

style of canner.

 

Makes: 5 half pints

If common sense were truly common, wouldn't there be more evidence of it?

Thanks for the recipe it sounds delish, I wasn't sure if it could be canned or not since it would be more of a solid mass instead of chucks.  I was thinking of the issue with canning pumpkin solids etc verses chunks.  Glad I will be able to can it already deviled. 

Thanks Dede and Ross for you help.

That seems a good one for my card file. We like spreads for appetizers on the boat. Usually put them up in quarter pints. Just enough for two.
