Canned beef and this is weird.

[michEgan]

I did the usual beef and beef stock together, 10 pounds at 90 minutes. The quart jars have been out at least 2 hours and still are bubbling I have never seen this, has anyone else ever have this happen. I am a seasoned canner, but somewhat new to canning beef. Any thoughts? I can actually touch the out side of the jar with out getting burned at all...so why is it still bubbling? Hmmmm?

This is puzzling, isn't it? I wish someone would tell us what is happening!

[michEgan]

well, after about 3 hours it finally stopped.

It's possible it was still continuing to exhaust air, I suppose.

Maybe one of our other canners will have a better answer.

Haunted Beef? I have no idea why. How are the seals today?

I actually had that happen once, hate to say it but I tossed it. Some ole timer that canned a lot told me to use a glove of garlic in each jar when I can beef, it has never happen since.

Not sure the reason why it does that.
