Finally opened one of the jars of turkey meat I canned a while back. I’ll use the rest of the jar for … tacos? Probably tacos.

Cost per person: $2.45

    Botulism isn’t a risk for sanitation reasons. The pressure canner takes care of all the botulism risk. Some people believe that you can boil botulism away and they are very much at risk. Follow proper canning features with even moderately clean jars and you will never get sick. Sickness comes from when you try to do dumb stuff like can really dense material like pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin cubes. The center of the mass doesn’t reach the 240° necessary to eliminate all pathogens and botulism spores.
