Default Canning your bacon

There’s nothing like bacon and eggs when you’re out camping

Simple canned bacon procedure I use for trips with no refrigeration. Canned bacon has a shelf life of at least 5 years and if Rug’s prediction of a great bacon shortage coming soon it will be like gold during the zombie apocalypse

Lay out a sheet of parchment about 20” wide place a row of bacon along the top then cover with another sheet ˝ as wide as your bacon. Fold the bacon in half then roll into a tight bundle. Each jar will hold 1 lb. of bacon (if you half cook the bacon in the oven to remove some fat you can get a 1 ˝ lb in a jar). The extra paper at the top of the roll is stuffed into the jar and used for handle to pull the processed bacon bundle out of the jar.

Push the bundle into a sterilized jar and process for 90 Minutes at 15 PSI. Always follow strict processing guidelines.

Nobody should ever go without bacon!
