Canned Smoked Salmon

[Sooke Hunter]

Does anyone use liquid smoke when preparing canned smoked salmon?? If so, how much liquid smoke do you add to 250ml jars. :?:

Sorry I dont use liquid smoke. Why use liquid smoke? Just smoke regularly (but for only 2 hours, otherwise the smoke flavour will be over powering) and can.

Thanks, Wildman.....smoker for 2 hours it is.....would you brine the fish 1st??

Just put a couple of drops in. It goes a long way.

Do it exactly the same as you were to smoke it fully.....so yes brine. Except, smoke it only for a few hours.

Thanks, Wildman.....turned out great!! Making some Indian Candy this weekend.

Glad to hear........I made the mistake of fully smoking and then canning once...........wowser!!!! It had to be mixed with about 5:1 ratio of regular canned salmon. It was way too smokey tasting.

:wink: Hey Sooke Hunter , I use 1/4 teaspoon for those 250 jars with great results . Just a hint of smoke !!!!!
I cut back on the salt a little also .
