Yes @canesisters ! I agree! You're so cute, you look like you might have just left a whoopie cushion on your bosses chair...

QUOTE="canesisters, post: 269577, member: 3564"]Got a canning question.
I always roast my chicken first. A friend raw packs and always has a couple jars fail - we figure because of the fat.
Those of you who raw pack chicken, do you have this problem? And, how do you avoid it?[/QUOTE]

I think when jars fail to seal from my own personal experience is when the jar doesn't have enough head space..so when there isn't enough head space food gets pushed out and gets on the seal which would make it a fail ...OR when the rim of the jar hasn't been cleaned of all residue this will also cause a jar not seal.

I do can up something we call slumgullion, which is just all the veggies from the garden stewed down together and canned in a jar. That's usually thickened with cornmeal later on and lavished on potatoes, pasta, rice or biscuits.

Slumgullion! I totally forgot about this. My mother made it all the time!

Thanks yall. Got a new short haircut last week.

@ducks4you , that mix is REALLY good with pasta and a little sour cream.

YUMM!! I hadn't thought to do that, but I'm gonna eat it that way, now!

Are you canning meat stripped off the bone, or bone and all?

I do, and have done, both. This year I'll be deboning everything to make for more actual meat per jar and will use all the bones in broth, as per usual.

Do you grow your own meat birds, Waretrop? That's a lot of good lookin' meat you have there!
