This recipe is death waiting to happen! Low-acid foods like meat need to be pressure-canned for 75 minutes for pints and 90 minutes for quarts to reach an internal temperature of 240 degrees F. at 10 lb pressure (over atmospheric) to assure destruction of harmul microorganisms. Water-bath canning (the recipe's method is essentially that) without pressure may allow botulism to develop which can be fatal. The purveyors of this recipe have been very lucky so far!
