I was hoping to transfer "today's farm moments" from Facebook over to this blog, but I haven't yet, and time's a ticking away.
I purchased a couple of 10 lb boxes of chicken from Lee's Marketplace in Logan, UT for $14.81 a case. My friends have been raving about how good their canned chicken turned out so Steve and I gave it a try.
First we prepared the pint-size mason jars, dug out the pressure canner, etc. Then we trimmed the fat and cut the chicken into cubes.
Then we added 1/2 tsp mineral sea salt. On the second batch we added 1/2 tsp granulated garlic with the salt. Put the lid on the mason jar without adding any liquid.
Then we loaded up the pressure canner with 8 pints. And cooked at 13 lbs pressure for 75 minutes.
Your canning project should look as yummy as this when you're done!
We ended up with 19 pints of canned chicken with one chicken breast left over. Not bad for 20 lbs of chicken!
**On a side note, Steve got a kick out of me throwing the chicken fat scraps out the back door. He was at the right angle to see me do the throw, I was not in view of where it landed, but Steve said the scraps landed square in the face of runt, our gold little boy kitty. :D
