Canning suet

Can suet be canned for long term storage?

Although I personally haven’t canned suet, I’m quite sure you can render it, like you do lard, fill sterile jars, put a warm lid on the jars and store in a cool place. Lard keeps for years this way, and I can see no reason suet wouldn’t also. — Jackie

Canning pecans

I finally got enough pecans to try canning them. When I cracked them I put them in the freezer. My question is should I do anything different than what your book states? I am supposed to be getting some more after the first of the year; would you like to have some?

Just thaw your pecans and then toast them as usual. They will turn out great. Yes! I’d LOVE some pecans! Thank you so much for offering them. — Jackie
