Bottled Corned Beef

Since it’s a great time of the year to buy Corned Beef Briskets cheap at the store for St. Patrick’s Day, I decided to try my hand at bottling corned beef.  I figured that the real thing would be a million times better than the usual particle corned beef you can buy at the store.

Basically, the process is identical to bottling any other meat.  Simply cut the brisket into pieces, and put the raw meat into your mason jar.  Each corned beef brisket comes with a separate seasoning packet.  Evening distribute the seasoning packet amongst the jars.

Process the meat according to regular meat bottling pressure and times.

To use the meat for traditional corned beef recipes, simply open a jar and add it to any recipe (ie. Corned beef and cabbage).  You may want to strain the chunky seasonings out of the broth surrounding the meat.
