You have to make it or get someone to make if for you.  Homemade, with lots a pig/ham/bacon it's palatable!

An I will not eat peas any other way...

 :)

My Grandma made homemade and she was a great cook. This was the only thing of hers I wouldn't eat unless forced and her peas mostly came from her garden.

Stew is done and well... I wouldn't want to force it on y'all so I'll just eat it all myself.  ;)

Is your stew meat fresh, frozen or canned?

How did you keep it - frozen or canned?

hmmm...you can can your own meat?

Any guides to the process and what might be the expected shelf life?

And you can force some of yer stew on me....just froze it up and send it...I have room for a 5gal bucket in my Frozer.

I cube it in 1" to 2" cubes (can also be done with ground meats - I suggest course grind if you grind your own, have a locker or a fresh meat counter in the local grocery), brown and cook it, pack it in pint jars, and pressure can.  My cooking always includes salt, pepper, onion, carrots and celery.  I avoid garlic, even though I love it, because it does not always fit in the final recipe.  If I use garlic I label the jars.  Follow pressure canning instructions, but a basic is to add more salt and can at 10# pressure for 70 minutes.

Canning meat gives it a different flavor than any other cooking method, tenderizes the toughest cuts (hint for saving money), requires zero electricity for storage, and if done during cold seasons the heat of canning warms the house.  While you wife may like the smell of potpouri (dried flowers in a fancy bowl) around the house, there is nothing like the smell of large quantities of cooking meet  ;D

Sounds great, Haz....makes me want to stew up a batch of Brunswick Stew......... The feral hogs in our immediate area have moved on down the river  (I guess to find water due to the drought).
Funny thing is, we have 2 penned hogs and no room in the freezers.....The price of feed has doubled and we can't give the danged things away for free because folks can't afford the cost to butcher.......I guess we might have to have a Hog Roastin' too!!!!!   ;D
