    What did you do to save $ today?

    I went to Kroger today and bought 2 turkeys. One was 26.49 pounds and the other was 27.09 pounds and each of the turkeys was $12.00. I am going to go back and get 2 more for canning. To me that is not a bad price for a turkey of that weight. Anyways, it saved about $3 to $4 per turkey. Did I...

    Anyone Do Home Meat Processing?

    For $200 I would buy it and then set it up in the yard the way you would like it to be in a building and then measure around it. This way you would know how much room you would need. Not sure why I can't find deals like that :/

    Canned chicken

    Canned chicken

    And Yes, the bone can be left in. It is good for more flavoring as the chicken "ages" in the jar.

    Canned chicken

    My Ball Canning book states for Hot Pack ~~ that if the bone is taken out it is processed 1 hr. 30 min. and if the bone is left in it is processed 1 hr. 15 min. both at 10 lbs. pressure.

    Canned chicken

    Usually I just can the breast~deboned and no skin. i cut it in pieces, cook it till the broth is hot and then put it int he jars. But this time will be different. I am gonna put the whole chicken in the jar, minus the skin. I was told to leave the bone in for flavoring.
