I appreciate this video... It's been about 25 years since I did any canning, but with what is going on in the World right now, I decided it's time to get some home canning in the cupboards, even if I live alone... So... I bought a small pressure canner and have my very first "batch" in cooking right now... I am canning strip-loin steaks now but thinking of doing chicken tomorrow... I am nearly 75 and living on a small government pension... this seems a prudent idea right now.

20 pints of chili in the pressure canner and chicken is next. I’ve never tried chicken before but I have 20 lbs to work on. Something to do on the weekend; since I work 3rd shift, canning at night (May 13, northern-lower Michigan) is ideal. Got up to 89 degrees today. I have the same canner and I love it!

I've switched my freezer off and dry or can (we call it bottling here) everything.

Always keep those wingtips for making chicken stock. I use chicken feet, back, wingtips, carcasses, and any other chicken bones I can salvage. Makes the best, most gelatinous broth ever. Also, with the price of wings anymore I would never waste them putting them together with legs and thighs I can get for $.29-$.39 per lb. Gotta choose for yourself though, I guess.

@PrattFamilyHomestead

Жыл бұрын

Generally when you can it like this ... when you pull it out of the jars it will just fall apart and be like shredded chicken due to the canning process. It's fully cooked when the canning process is done. BUT, you can season it before or after. We usually choose to season things (anything/everything) AFTER we take it out of the jar so we can season it how we want when we go to use it. Grilling chicken/any meat out of a canning car would be challenging. I do can pulled pork though .. and we do have a video on that as well!!! :) Thank you for watching!

Some of the bones do crumble down, we've noticed. We try to be careful when removing back out of the jar to not let the bones break to prevent that as much as possible. Since doing this, we've decided we prefer to cut the meat off the bones prior to canning.

The only place I know 1200ft plus is 70 miles north... The wiggler is a safety feature aligning with the gauge. So 15lbs it is... USDA calls for 11lbs at elevation.
