How To Can Beef Stew

It's a cold and rainy day today, so I'm going to show you how to can Beef Stew. This is the perfect thing to make and throw in your pantry for those nights when you don't have a lot of time, but want something good! Since Mother and I like a thick beef stew, I did have to thicken this with some corn starch when I heated it back up to eat. Beef Stew: 4-5 Lbs. Stew Meat 12 C. Cubed Peeled Potatoes 8 C.
