I borrowed some canned chicken from my mom in law and made gravy with it. It turned out really good! We were staying in their house which is about 45 min from a grocery store and I couldn’t think of anything to make for dinner. We ended up having mashed potatoes with gravy and a few veggies. Ever since then I have always wanted a pressure canner. I hope you enjoy yours!

I also got a canner for Christmas from my Dad :D Last year he and I canned tomatoes and butternut squash. Although, Dad canned a bunch of other stuff for him and Mom. He is retired now and gardening and canning keep him busy in the spring, summer, and into fall. I had been wanting to learn how to can for years and the time finally presented itself. It is so easy to can and it tastes soooo much better than the stuff you buy at the store. I have already been eying seeds for what I will plant and then can later this year. I know for sure that I am going to do some sugar baby pumpkins. They will make great baby food and I love to add them to stew. I am also going to grow and can green beans and some tomatoes. Happy canning!

I also used a pressure canner to process tomatoes from our garden. Tomatoes are such a pain though because there is so much water in them and in the process of canning, the quantity seem to shrink to about 20 % of what you started with. That’s a lot of work for not much yield. So this last year, instead of canning my tomatoes or pasta sauce, I froze it instead. So much easier.

Wow, didnt ever think about canning chicken. Awsome. I’ve never officially canned yet. My husband makes pickles and wants to learn how to can them so he can make them in bulk. I bought him the jars for Christmas. I’ve been looking into canning other things- just have to get started and I’m sure we’ll enjoy doing it.

I love canning foods for our panty, but have not yet attempted any meats. That is our next project.

We’ve been canning chicken for the past year or so and it is my favorite food storage item! So quick and convenient and easy to add to meals!

Canned chicken is so convenient for recipes. We actually raise meat chickens for both freezing and canning.

good idea to can chicken. I don’t have a pressure cooker, and I would be scared to eat canned chicken. But It’s a neat idea.

I was sent this link about canning butter, I thought of you when I recieved it! Enjoy!

We can chicken too but we don’t cook it before. just put the breasts in the bottles (even whole it will shred easily when you use it) and a bit of salt or bullion and cook. I can’t remember the times though! If you looked it up online I bet you can find it.

It’s great for Chicken enchilada’s or chicken salad or we add it to bottled Parmesan sauce for a way fast meal.

[...] used some of my canned chicken and it was delicious and just that much [...]
