Yesterday we had our much-anticipated chicken canning party. I purchased 120 pounds of fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts. Three 40 pound boxes. It took a while to trim all the fat and cube the chicken. Mom, Juliet, Derrinda, Lisa, Mercedes, and Chanelle all helped to trim, cube, bottle, and process the chicken. We bottled most of it in pint jars. With one batch of quarts. We ended up with the equivalent of 80 pints. It yielded about 1 1/2 pounds of chicken per pint. It took quite a while to process using the pressure canner. But it turned out wonderfully. And now we all have ready to use chicken for making casseroles, chicken pot pies, chicken soup, chicken salad, etc. Dad and I sampled a jar today on our chicken salad sandwich. It was delectable. I'm sure everybody will enjoy the fruits of their labors.
ah.........very tasty indeed!
