Canning Tuna Recipe
For home canning, we prefer to raw pack tuna in either water or oil. We can the
dark pieces in oil with one hot red pepper and five peppercorns per jar. For
added flavor, you may cover the tuna overnight before canning with plastic wrap
and herbs such as bay leaves, rosemary or sage, but remove them before
canning as they become too strong with time.
If you haven't canned fish before, we highly recommend Video 6 for safe canning
procedures.
Note: Crystals of magnesium ammonium phosphate sometimes form on
canned tuna. They disappear when reheated and are safe to eat.
