Canned some homegrown chicken tonight

[Bureaucrat]

Took a shot at canning some chicken tonight. I had planned on 6-7 quarts for what I had chicken. I ended up with a little over 2 1/2. I was amazed at how many skinless breasts fit into a quart jar. I fit almost 5 averaged sized breasts into one jar (not frankenstein breasts from the store).

Pretty simple formula. Pack raw chicken, chunk of onion, and some salt into a jar. Pressure can for 90 minutes at 15lbs.

I'll give it a week and see what it tastes like. I also did some chicken soup. That didn't look too photogenic due to the dumpling experiment not going as planned. Nonetheless, I did chicken soup base, water, chicken, carrot, onion, and celery, salt to taste. I'll also give that a week and see how it went.

I did venison for the first time last year.

I had never even tried it in my life if you can believe that.

It was quite good! And extremely handy for quick meal preps.

Canned chicken. Thats a new one!

So is it then cooked? Or do you need to cook it after?? Sorry, I've very new to the whole canning thing.

It's cooked.

Canned veni is pretty darn good, once you get past the look of it

Just warm up and serve from here. It's a lot more tender and the salt gets all the way to the center of the meat. Once you try it, you'll change the way you store meat.

Looks good. And you are right about the amount of chicken that can go into one jar!! Especially quarts. It's easy to understand why canning is so popular.

I've had 20 of the 1-1/2 pint jars for 25 years that I use for pork, corned beef & chicken. Years ago they were discontinued, but this size is my favorite. Last year they were re-introduced and I got another 2 cases of them.
