So I had to post a picture of the fruits of my labor. I decided to attempt to can. Now I have never done this before but I figured it would help out my food storage. My neighbor helped me get a great price on chicken and so i went to work. And let me tell you, it was work! Courtney helped by cutting up all of the chicken while I prepared the bottles and lids. When I was done with all of it I had canned 36 pints. I am so relieved to be done with it. The only problem is that I am not really wanting to eat it. I am afraid I am going to poison us all. Now I now my pressure was high enough and it went long enough so hopefully I will be able to get over it. It is a little funny because I don't really even think about it when I open a can of chicken from Costco...Anyway, I am way excited that I was able to learn this skill and I know it will be delicious when I get to eating it.Wednesday, November 19, 2008

I have never canned before, and I really want to learn. Great job on all your hard work!
I am so impressed. I have watched my mom can food for years, you'd think I would know how. Someday I am going to have my mom teach me. It is great food storage.
Wow!! I'm impressed.We spent a heck of alot of $ on already prepared food storage, and I'm positive yours will taste waaay better! My mom used to can, I need to learn!
Way to go! It looks great :) I should have taken a picture of my potatoes, elk, spaghetti sauce, apple pie filling, and jam. Wow I didn't realize I did so much LOL Oh well there is always next time.
Cool! I would like to learn chicken!
Awesome! I need to do more canning all I do is jam. Pretty much because that is the only thing I have tried!
I am so impressed! I have never canned before and would really like to know how! I think I would have the same reservations as you with the chicken BUT I am sure it will be just fine!
P.S. Love the new family pic!
How funny is this! I bet we were both canning our little hearts out on the same day. I do find it very rewarding. Great job! You can get almost anything from the cannery in St George if you know thier schedule on when stuff comes in but that is just the trick. You almost have to know someone in the know, type thing. Las Vegas we are not so lucky cause there in no wet pack here so none of the great fruits and veggies ever come our way.
Kell, Get on my blog and read the info about the PAnthera open house!! want you there!
Look at you getting all domestic and stuff. Since when did we turn into grown ups? I have to admit when i think of canning I do not think of chicken! I consider making my homemade jam canning :-)
I always take the easy route. I'd give you a big pat on the back if I could.....that's awesome.
