If you look at ingredients on some tuna it says it has it in it so I tried it & I did not notice that much of difference as the tuna taiste came through. Like I said it is all good eh.

I just pack the raw tuna in the jar till I have 1 inch head space, with 1 jalapeno that makes it just a little hot, if you take the pepper out when you open the jar it just has a jalapeno flavor not hot.And 1/2 t salt. or make it plain its all good. you dont even have to put salt if you dont want to. then when you get done make some dip for crackers.1 pint jar of tuna 8oz. cream chesse 1t. liquid smoke 1t. garlic powder 1t.onion powder T. lemon juice. salt and pepper to taste. olives or chives are good in there too. Good luck you cant go wrong just put in what you like.

Harry,
I just found this thread in the search forum...Great, great write up and pics ...Are you doing this again this year? Any changes discovered in the interim ?

MikeyLikesIt and I canned 7 cases of Albacore and 1 case of YellowFin last week. I am hording it this year, since I always give most of it away I havn't had any for 2 years now. Whats up with that!

I have 11 Ablies in my freezer awaiting the canner but with running tomorrow, and then Thursday again, well, you know, a man has to have his priorities

I have 3 pressure cookers with burners set up as I write this, but I am gonna load up on as many Albies as I can so I don't run out again

Let me know if you want a canning lesson

Will cost you some fish though

My garage is set up to can and I am confident I can add a couple of pressure cookers if I need to

I can't think of any fish I would rather eat than canned albacore, but I like it the way I do it

Definitely an all day (usually sunday for me)session.
Also if I may add...never use tap water I use RO or chicken broth,bottled or distilled water will suffice.

Joe gave me a jar of your canned albacore last year and I have been craving it ever since!!

You are the master!!

Thanks for the post, I cant wait to make my own.
