Did 2 separate batches. A few lbs of beef (cubed) and red potatoes.
Raw pack for the beef and hot pack for the potatoes. I followed the recipes in the All American Canner instruction/recipe book.
Beef was simple, cold/raw pack with just salt and no water.
Potatoes were a pain. Peeled, Washed, Chopped, soaked in water w/ lemon juice, boiled for 2 min then packed in jars with water leaving 1 inch at top.
All cans sealed properly and I am super excited!

Awesome! What do you use your canned potatoes for? I grow a lot of potatoes every year and after harvest I store them in a back room but I have to work hard to use them before they go bad. I have a pressure canner now so I would like to can some next season. I just don’t know what I would use them for other than mashed potatoes or stew. Are they too soft for roasting?
