Do you leave the lid OFF during the second 2 hour cooking time?
Can this recipe be canned with a water bath canning method?
People used to can it, but it is no longer recommended. It is too thick, so the heat might not reach the middle, and is a low acid food, so it isn’t safe. It does freeze well.
