WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

[Mini Horses]

I pack raw, deboned, no added liquid, pack tight. Works great for those old hens/roos as it tenderizes! Mostly I use white meat because I'm not a dark meat lover. . But my DDs dogs, cats and my own cats like the dark

The meat is somewhat soft when you use. So don't plan for any long cooking dishes when using.

I may have to try that for Athena. She gets a really sensitive stomach when we travel. She can't have wheat, anyway, so it's just worse.

In summer, I also add green beans or squash.

So now we are talking about canning chicken...any thoughts or preferences to consider?

2 year old (or older) birds, debone, raw pack, fill jars with water.

Its not hard. Just remember 75 minutes for pints, 90 for quarts. Put celery, onions, and carrots in if you decide to cook it first. It makes great broth.

Woo Hoo! I will need a full report on canning boneless - skinless, please!

Jars are cooling on the counter. About 4 hours start to finish
- about 10 pounds of boneless skinless breasts less about 2 cups for the chili
- used poultry shears to cut the meat up into chunks, wife's suggestion, it went quicker than I would have spent with a knife
- packed firmly with over an inch headspace
-1/4 tsp salt, jars topped off with hot water.

The kitchen smells wonderful. The wife is really really excited about this effort.
