Fall activities: Canning

canningWe bought some chicken this week and I have been thinking for a long time about trying to put up some meat in bottles so they don’t require the freezer. This is to spread our storage out so that if we happened to lose power and have to use up all the contents of the freezer, We would not have to use or give away 30 pounds of chicken. I put up 18 pints of chicken using the pressure canner I was given by Grandma. We haven’t tried it yet and hope that it turns out to be pretty good. Does anyone have experience canning anything other than fruit, that wants to make comments about ther most successful experiment in this field of food preservation? I think I might try a few other things and see how they work sometime soon.
