Seems unnecessarily risky for meat, a somewhat expensive ingredient. Why not just freeze it and leave the canning for cheap af in-season fruits and veggies?

it was free and it's a perfect lean meat for stewing

it willl just slowly rot in the freezer, which is tiny and can break down

Great. More people should learn to can meat and meat based dishes like stews and soups. Show your steps so you can dispel people's unwarranted paranoia.

That doesn't really happen in mason jars enough to warrant concern. You'll probably never run into it in your lifetime.
We've outsmarted the thing.

No, wanting to avoid botulism is why certain steps are carefully followed during the canning process.

Being scared of canning altogether is paranoia.

Sounds good. More importantly, perfectly safe.
