This morning I went to Maceys grocery store and found a deal on boneless chicken breasts - a 40 lb. box for $51.60 (1.29 lb.) I bought a box and have begun processing it in pint jars in a pressure canner. I have one batch on the stove at the moment and probably two more batches to go. So far so good.Other deals at Maceys this morning:
- 50 lb. Honeyville Hard White Wheat - 16.00 (reg. $30)
- 6 gallon bucket with lid - 8.49 ea.
- Gamma lids - 5.99 ea. (reg. 10.99)
- 5 gallon water jug - 4.50 ea.
- 55 gallon water barrel - 39.99 ea. (reg. 63.99)
- Siphon pump - 11.99 ea.
Update: First batch finished!
(I've never canned meat before.
I'm pretty happy right now!)

Would love to link your canning chicken from our food processing blog. Would you please give your recipe? Or perhaps post as a comment to our posting at: http://food-self-sufficiency.blogspot.com/2009/01/canning-chicken.html Thank you... Vikki
ReplyDeleteI pressure canned chicken for the first time about a month ago. It was AWESOME! One of the jars didn't seal, so I was able to taste the 'fruits of our labors'. It was TASTY! The chicken was very tender. It was easily shredded...almost the consistency of tuna.
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago we pressure canned beans. We did red beans, pinto beans and black beans. We tasted the pinto beans. YUM! I hear that pressure cooking or pressure canning old beans might be a way to 'save' them...since if they are too old, they won't soften up, but it would seem pressure cooking them takes care of it. (I haven't tried myself, but was told this information)
One of our jars also didn't seal so it is in the refrigerator. We're looking forward to tasting it soon.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to give beans a try next. Thanks for your feedback!
