No I've never heard of this.... but thanks to your post I searched and found tons of info and recipes - see here http://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&source=hp&q=pie+in+a+jar&btnG=Google+Search

Yum, even with the heat just now I want to try these cute pies out.  Individual pies, from freezer to oven.

Thanks ♥

So I see recipes for jar pies that are cute, can you share the recipe for the jar pies that keep for 2yrs?

What is the crust like if the pie is in effect canned?

I've canned bread before I wonder what the crust will turn out like.
Banana bread ends up being a dense bread pudding consistency when you can it. Even though it is not recommended to just place the lid on after baking the bread I admit I have done it..
Pressure cooking might be a way around the safety issue.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.

Oh I see.... the heading of 'jar' pie made me think of something else I had heard of - pies in canning jars, but your looking for how to use canning for making and storing pies.....

I've looked in all my canning info and so far haven't found any mention of 'canning' complete pie, just fillings.  I've also searched on this two year thing looking for urban-legend and found nothing.  Next I went to my survivalist food info and found a lot of strange things being canned, but no fruit pie in a jar  sorry.

Humm , I think the pies pictures here are baked in a jar, I shared this thread on an other website & the comments there included some one who said they kept pies in a jar for 2 years in the freezer, so perhaps I can get that recipe for us.

That seems to be the question; if you actually can it, what becomes of the crust?

Links for freeze-types, including the ones you have pictured here, are all available from the search-results link I provided above, but I'm wondering Dianne have you heard of these 'canned' pies, because I haven't been able to find any examples of such.

Maybe you know of some?  Or maybe someone's great aunt or such can point us in the right direction....?

I agree with you, these freeze now and bake later seem like a wonderful idea, and they are cute!

You know I have heard the term but am not sure it includes the crust.
But if a steak & mushroom pie can be put in a tin & then baked with the lid removed to crisp the crust it might be possible for a pie in a jar?

Perhaps I should experiment this fall...

From the recipe for frozen-jar-pie the gal pressed it to the glass, a smooshing sort of.

Try adding a little more butter to your crust recipe that might fix it.

...maybe it's the temperature of the jar and/or crust    Sometimes chilled crust is easier to work with, sometimes a warmed dough is.

As I thinking back to the beef & mushroom pie in a tin I'm thinking maybe it only had a top crust. I'll be seeing some elders of the clan in a few weeks I'll ask if any of them have heard of a canned pie.

I haven't canned pies but I have canned cakes. They do seal and keep for a very long time. The texture is cake-like and as they age they might be a little on the dry side but a quickly whipped up lemon sauce fixes them right up. They are baked in the jars and then capped. If you do a search on jar cake you should find plenty of recipes. Very handy to have on hand for unexpected visitors.

In Britain you can buy pies in tins so why not in jars ?

Heat transfer into the filling will be impeded by the flaky crust. And thickeners are generally not recommended for canned goods.

Sorry to be a stick in the mud but this isn't a good idea. Here's some research articles that show how others have tested to see if it works or now. You'll see that the first one basically concludes that you shouldn't do bread in canning jars. The other articles outline the limits on canned bread, which include pH, moisture, and antimicrobial agents (the dread preservatives).

Breads and pies are usually "done" with an internal temperature well under spore-killing temps, unfortunately.

Not that they would ever last long enough in my house to worry about it...

There should be a way to cook them in a pressure canner and get it safe, but not sure the crust would be edible.

Canning times are fast when there's a thin fluid that can circulate around, transferring heat from the hot edges of the jar to the center of the jar. When you must depend on conduction of heat, as in tinned meats, processing times are very long. I read about it in the context of canning tuna in a commercial setting. The slow transfer of heat by conduction is one of the reasons meats are stored in small thin tins.

Now, imagine heat transfer through a layer of puff pastry. The air pockets slow down the heat transfer and I doubt the rate of heat transfer in dry bread is very high.
