My brother Chris gave me a tuna to can, so I decided to show the process I went through.Anyone who knows me knows that my knives are always DULL, so the first thing I had to do was sharpen one!
This is the tuna (obviously :-), and I wasn't completely sure how to fillet it...so I went to youTube! Yay for YouTube cuz I found what I was looking for (Tuna Carking 102 with Nate Oliver).
By the way, I had lots of company for some reason...
This is what things looked like after I removed one fillet. Not too pretty, huh?
The fillets cleaned up nicely, though. There was also a little "stomach" meat.
I got my jars stuffed, cleaned off the tops, and
after one and a half hours in a pressure cooker I had beautiful jars of tuna!

It looks like it worked nicely over the sink. I am not sure if you cleaned up before taking the picture but it didn't look like it had as much blood as I was expecting! It must feel like an accomplishment! It would for me :)
I love that you home canned tuna, but more fun was the photos of the cats with their mouth's watering. If we use a can opener in our house (which isn't often) the cats come running thinking it just might be tuna. They get the juice divided evenly in two bowls.
OK, I KNOW it wasn't that tidy!! But a very nice job of work, with lovely results - good job:) Carrie is jealous, she just had to buy tuna at the store - yuk.
Amazing how much better that tuna tastes than the canned! Ty & Karen just canned a tuna that Ty caught - I'm sure they wanted some more of the "good stuff" Candy & Dennis always had on hand!
