Ok guys, I'm no Ted but my wife and I can some pretty good Albacore.
Two teaspoons of Olive Oil in the jar first.
Stuff Albacore chunks to within 2" of the top of your jar.
Place approx. a 1/8th cup of minced Jalapenos.
Add two cloves of garlic, cut both in half.
Two teaspoons of Lemon Peper Spice.
And a pinch of Kosher Salt.
Cook at 10 pounds for 110 minutes. Take off the heat and let it rest till the pressure is zero. Remove from the pressure cooker and place on a thick towel to cool of till the next day.
It's so good.
Looks yummy,
Lord knows I love Ted's. I'm certain I'll try it some day.

I appreciate that Steve but i was only messing with you
Fresh canned albacore! Chicken of the Sea! - john
I cooked a whole albie for Wayne and his group. He should chime in with some photos (at least he usually does). His group cans many cases each year. His receipt is pretty much the same as Crabpot's. Dominick
I wish I knew the technique for canned food, I would canned YT on the good season.
If you send a canned Alby to your Mom in San felipe, send an an extra can, I can pick it up in 5 minutes

Alejandro,
Just so happens I have a care package to my folks in the works.
I'll include a can of Yellowtail and Albacore for you amigo!
Steve
wow, talking about good timing ::)
thanks amigo, let me know when is here ^-^
Looking good Steve !! You're ahead of the curve. You're obviously experienced at canning. I'll start doing some canning later this week. Jalapeno is my fave !!
Got carried away yesterday! :d
And I still have approx. 20 pounds left in the freezer.
What a trip.
Looking good Steve
Less than 10 months till your next alby trip. Rinse, lather, repeat
Steve, I like the labels on the lids.
Does anyone know how BFT tastes canned? I have a few lbs from last year I would like to process.
RD,
The labels were curtsey of Wayne, he had extras from his Portagee Canning Adventure and mailed them to me.
I canned some BF a while back and personally I wasn't impressed. I don't like BF cooked at all so I may be bias. Albacore and Skipjack are my go to's when it comes to canning.
I canned some YT and YF as well, those turned out great but they never last long enough to get canned!

Italian canned bluefin tuna in olive oil is a premium product. Some recipes call for it explicitly. Haven't been willing to shell out the big bucks for the stuff, so no idea how it compares.
Also not a canner myself, so no idea how processing in olive oil is done, or if it can be done safely at home.

I put 2 table spoons of virgin olive oil per pint.

I think that the Italian stuff has just tuna, oil, and salt. No water. The oil is not going to make steam, so I don't know if you can get a good vacuum seal in a canning jar the same as a water based recipe. Plus no source of acidity. There are probably other concerns as well. Getting the process right is important from a food safety perspective. Maybe the USDA or a university extension website has a recipe or a recommendation on whether this is a good idea or not for home canners.

Steve what's the word on a jar without the jalapenos? My body doesn't let me have fun anymore.

Steve, I'm just the carrier, it is Jennifer who made this label on a word .doc, and if anyone wants a copy of the .doc - text or email me and I'll send it to you. Very easily customizable for your future canning operations.
After printing it on a label sheet, Jen used a 2 1/2" circle cutter, and then I went to work pasting them atop the canning lids.
It's REELY that easy!!!!
I'm looking forward to our Sept. 15-17, 2025 Albacore trip, we all have our fingers crossed that our illustrious Leader - Mr. Wonderful himself - Ted - will join us for another EPIC trip.
Wayne
Wayne, Kelly purchased pre-cut labels, 2.5", and printed them up with the info Jennifer and you provided. 2.5" for the wide mouth jars and 1.75" for the small mouths. Both are still 1 pint size but they only had two flats of big mouths and I was on a mission.
They came out great,
Steve
The non-jalapeno version was excellent btw.

Glad you liked it, Jason.
I still have approx. 20+ pounds of loins and four one-gallon bags of bellies to do. Just an epic trip and I can't wait for next years.
I'll smoke the bellies then can them in half pint jars. Smoked bellies are awesome on your favorite cracker. I like the garlic herb Triscuit myself. :d
