Being Domestic

Sydney and I bought 40 pounds of chicken from Zaycon and split it because neither of us had much room in our freezers. We then canned 20 pounds of it to help solve that problem. I got 8 pint sized jars out of 10 pounds. Sydney got 5 quart sized jars out of 10 pounds.
It was actually much easier than I had expected. We cut off the fat, cut it into 1 inch cubes, put it into jars and added salt. Then we pressure cooked it for an hour and 15 minutes. It was that simple! Who knew that canning isn't that hard.

While my mom was here helping out she canned black and pinto beans. Our food storage is slowly growing which is good but it can't grow too much more or we will have to be very creative with where we put all of it.
