Day 6: pulled pork burger from a jar

This is Day 6 of my own pantry challenge, seven days of dinners from the jars on my shelves. Yesterday was chicken tikka masala.

Change of plan again! The vegetable beef soup got swapped for a pulled pork burger ;)

Tonight's jar: my home-canned BBQ pulled pork, canned on March 27, 2026, following the tested recipe from my Ball book.

Tonight's dinner

I emptied the jar into a pot and heated it through.

Then I let it thicken up.

I piled it onto a store-bought bun with lettuce from my garden and tomato, with air-fried French fries on the side ;)

Jars I used

1 pint jar of BBQ pulled pork
