Canning Poultry (Chicken, Duck, Goose,
Turkey, Game Birds) or Rabbit
Choose freshly killed, dressed, healthy animals. For more flavor use large chickens, not fryers. Chill dressed poultry for 6 to 12 hours before canning. Soak dressed rabbits for 1 hour in salt water (1 tablespoon salt per quart) and rinse. Remove excess fat. Cut poultry or rabbit into suitable sizes for canning. Can with or without bones. The hot pack is preferred for best liquid cover and quality during storage. Natural poultry fat and juices are usually not enough to cover the meat in raw packs.
Hot pack – Boil, steam or bake meat until about two-thirds done. Add 1 teaspoon salt per quart to the jar, if desired. Fill jars with pieces and hot broth, leaving 1-1/4 inch headspace.
Raw pack – Add 1 teaspoon salt per quart, if desired. Fill jars loosely with raw meat pieces, leaving 1-1/4 inch headspace. Do not add liquid.
For jars of poultry or rabbit without bones (both hot and raw pack), process pints for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes. For jars of poultry or rabbit with included bones (both hot and raw pack), process pints for 65 minutes and quarts for 75 minutes.
Dial-gauge pressure canner - process jars at 11 pounds pressure (altitudes of 0 to 2,000 ft) or at 12 pounds pressure (altitudes of 2,001 to 4,000 ft).
Weighted gauge pressure canner - process jars at 10 pounds pressure (altitudes of 0 to 1,000 ft) or at 15 pounds pressure (altitudes above 1,000 ft).

DIRECTIONS
1. Prepare pressure canner. Heat jars in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Wash lids in warm soapy water and set bands aside.
2. Cook bacon in large Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. While bacon is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet and cook mushrooms and 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes, until mushrooms are well browned and most of the moisture has cooked off; remove from heat and set aside. When bacon has finished cooking, remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave bacon fat in pan.
3. Season beef with remaining salt and pepper and brown in Dutch oven in batches, over medium high heat, turning until all sides are browned. Remove beef to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
4. Combine onions, carrots, garlic and thyme in the same Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until golden brown. Stir in reserved bacon and mushrooms. Return beef to pot and stir in wine, scraping brown bits off bottom of the pan. Stir in beef stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes or until alcohol has evaporated and cooked off.
5. Filling one jar at a time, pack ingredients tightly into hot jar, leaving 1-inch headspace. Place a bay leaf in jar and ladle hot wine and broth mixture over ingredients, leaving 1-inch headspace (you may have room for only a few tablespoons of broth mixture). Remove air bubbles and apply band to finger-tip tight. Place jar in pressure canner containing 2 inches of simmering water; repeat until all jars are filled.
6. Place lid on canner and turn to locked position. Adjust heat to medium-high. Vent steam for 10 minutes. Place the counter weight or weighted gauge on vent; bring pressure to 10 pounds (psi) for a weighted-gauge canner or 11 pounds (psi) for a dial-gauge canner. Process quarts for 90 minutes and pints for 75 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Turn off heat; cool canner to zero pressure. After 5 minutes, remove lid. Let jars cool 10 minutes. Remove from canner.
7. To serve out of the pantry, Empty contents of jar in saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Thicken as desired with flour or cornstarch and serve over buttered egg noodles with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh parsley.

Chicken and Vegetable All-Purpose Head-Start
This recipe offers an all purpose head-start on a busy day's evening meal. Open a jar and you have the basic ingredients for a casserole, pasta dish, rice dish, or soup, prepared and ready to heat and use. This practical addition to your pantry shelves is sure to be appreciated again and again when time is tight and everybody's hungry. While this is made with chicken, you can also substitute rabbit or squirrel for the chicken.
Make 7-8 Pints
8 to 10 pounds chicken, rabbit or squirrel cut in pieces
1 tablespoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Water to cover
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups thin sliced peeled carrots
Put the meat in a heavy pot with the salt and pepper. Add water to cover and bring to boiling over high heat . Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until meat is ready to fall from bones. Remove from heat. Let cool until meat can be handled.
While meat is cooling, prepare canning equipment. Set up the pressure canner, sterilize jars and lids.
Keep the jars and lids in simmering water until ready to use them.
Pull the meat from the bones and set aside. Keep broth, discard bones, skin and fat. Be thorough in removing fat, so it doesn't move up the jar sides during the processing and cooling phases to prevent jars from sealing correctly.
Add the vegetables to broth and bring to boiling, then stir in the meat pieces. Use a slotted spoon to take the hot meat and vegetables from the broth to fill jars , leaving 1 inch of head-space. Pour the boiling liquid into the jars, stopping at the 1-inch head-space.
Wipe threads and rims of jars, then put on lids and tighten rings. Arrange jars in pressure canner and process at 11 pounds for 75 minutes, adjusting for altitude and pressure canner type as needed. When safe to open canner, remove jars without tilting and leave to cool undisturbed. Check all seals after 24 hours, then store in a cool, dark place for up to one year.

Chicken Cacciatore
Chicken Cacciatore can be served over rice or pasta!
Ingredients
9 Chicken thighs, skinned and deboned (larger ones cut in half lengthwise)
2 pints tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, or Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce
3 cloves garlic (omit if you use the pasta sauce), minced
¾ lb mushrooms, sliced
1 small to medium onion, cut in half and sliced
¼ cup dried oregano/basil
½ cup heated chicken stock or water (for filling to 1" headspace)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation:
Prepare 5 pints, lids, and rings. Sterilize the jars and keep them in the hot water till its time for processing. Make sure to fill your pressure canner with the recommended amount of water and bring it to a simmer. Prep chicken and vegetables as instructed.
Cooking:
In a fry pan add a few tablespoons olive oil and brown the chicken on both sides. You do not have to cook the chicken all the way through. It will finish cooking in the pressure canner inside the jar.
In a stainless steel pot heat the 2 pints of tomatoes, mushroom, onions, garlic and herbs for 15 minutes till the sauce comes to a simmer. Remove from heat.
Filling the jars:
On a dishtowel place your hot jars and using your funnel in each jar fill with 2 to 3 pieces of the thigh meat. Then go back to each of the jars and fill with the tomato sauce mixture filling to 1" headspace. Remove air bubbles and refill to the proper headspace if necessary.
Taking a clean paper towel wet it with vinegar and wipe the rims of the jars removing any food particles that would interfere with a good seal.
Using your magic wand extract the lids from the hot water and place them on the now cleaned rims. Add your rings to the tops of each of the jars and turn to seal just "finger tight".
Processing:
Make sure your rack is on the bottom of the canner and place the jars in the pressure canner. Lock the lid and turn up the heat bring the canner to a boil.
Vent steam for 10 minutes, then close the vent by adding the weighted gauge or pressure regulator (for dial gauge canner). Process pints for 75 minutes at 10 lbs of pressure (11 lbs for dial gauge canner).
You can double and triple this recipe if you want to do it in quarts. For quarts you will pressure can for 90 minutes.
(Adjust pressure for altitude) When complete turn off the heat and let pressure return to zero naturally. Wait two minutes longer and open vent.
Remove canner lid. Wait 10 minutes then remove jars and place on dishtowel in a place that they will sit overnight to cool. Do not touch or move them till the next morning.
Sealing:
Some time in the next hour your jars will be making a "pinging" or "popping" noise. That is the glass cooling and the reaction of the lids being sucked into the jar for proper sealing. Some recipes may take overnight to seal. Check your lids and reprocess any jars that did not seal. Remove rings for storage.

Chicken Marsala
Yields 5 Quarts or 10 pints
5-7 lbs. boneless/skinless chicken
5 cups sliced mushrooms (2 - 20 oz. pkgs.)
2 cups dry Marsala wine
2 quarts chicken stock
1 pc. medium onion diced
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. chopped garlic
Salt and Pepper
Directions
Preparation:
Prepare chicken by cutting away any visible fat removed and cut into bite sized pieces. Slice mushrooms, dice the onion and mince the garlic, set aside.
Cooking:
In a frying pan using a small amount of olive oil sauté chicken pieces seasoning with salt and pepper, in several batches and place in a colander placed over a bowl for excess grease to drain.
Place 1 cup of chicken into each pint jar along with ½ cup sliced raw mushrooms. Using the same pan that you cooked the chicken add the diced onion, garlic and oregano.
Saute until the onion is soft but not brown. Add 2 cups dry Marsala wine and boil hard for 1 minute (to evaporate the alcohol) stirring all the bits together and add 2 quarts chicken stock.
Bring to a boil and let simmer a few minutes to let the flavors combine.
Filling the jars:
On a dishtowel place your hot jars. Using your funnel in each jar fill with the stock mixture filling to 1" headspace. Remove air bubbles and refill to the proper headspace if necessary.
Taking a clean paper towel wet it with vinegar and wipe the rims of the jars removing any food particles that would interfere with a good seal.
Using your magic wand extract the lids from the hot water and place them on the now cleaned rims. Add your rings to the tops of each of the jars and turn to seal just "finger tight".
Processing:
Make sure your rack is on the bottom of the pressure canner and place the jars in bottom. Lock the lid and turn up the heat bring the canner to a boil.
Vent steam for 10 minutes, then close the vent by adding the weighted gauge or pressure regulator (for dial gauge canner). Process for 90 minutes at 10 lbs of pressure (11 lbs for dial gauge canner). If you choose to do pints they should be processed for 75 minutes. (Adjust pressure for altitude) When complete turn off the heat and let pressure return to zero naturally.
Wait two minutes longer and open vent. Remove canner lid. Wait 10 minutes then remove jars and place on dishtowel in a place that they will sit overnight to cool. Do not touch or move them till the next morning. Your food may still be boiling inside the jars. That is normal!
Serving:
When ready to serve, drain liquid into a saucepan and thicken with cornstarch or flour butter mix, add 2 tablespoons of cream or sour cream (I like it plain-as is) and add contents of jar until heated through.Ladle over Angel hair pasta or rice.

Salisbury Steak Recipe ←Click for pics
You will need 5 lbs of Ground Beef
To the ground beef, add:
1 heaping cup (perhaps a cup and a 1/4) of dehydrated onions
1 tbsp BBQ spice mix (optional) (BBQ SPICE MIX)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp salt
½ tbsp pepper
Mix well and form into patties. I used a wide mouth ring as a size indicator, that way I knew they would fit into my jars. (there will be some shrinkage from cooking.)
Cook patties on a griddle, allowing the fat to drain off. I kept them in a warm oven on a drip pan while I got my jars ready. I also took a paper towel to blot off the patties, I really wanted to get off all the oil and fat that I could.
I used a pint and half jar...this size is PERFECT for my family and allowed 8 patties per jar. Cover meat with Tomato broth or Beef broth.
I used tomato Broth (Tomato broth is 2 parts tomato juice and 1 part beef broth) instead of beef broth and covered the patties, leaving 1 inch of head-space. (the tomato and onion content is what gives it the Salisbury Steak flavor)
Process pints for 75 minutes.
Process pint and a half and quarts for 90 minutes @ 10 pounds of pressure.
You can make a gravy from the juices in the jar by thickening with cornstarch slurry or flour, when you open to prepare.

1 lb Ground Beef 90/10 is best
Spices for each pound of Beef
2 Tbsp Onion Powder
½ tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Chili Powder

Brown your ground beef and drain in a colander to remove excess grease.
Now transfer meat back to pan and add spices.
Mix well, making sure all the seasonings are distributed well throughout the meat.
Fill the jars loosely to the 1 inch head-space.
Add hot water, tomato juice or broth/stock to the 1 inch head-space. Debubble jars to remove air and add more liquid if needed to 1 inch head-space.
Wipe the rims of the jars with damp cloth moistened with vinegar to remove any grease that will prevent lids from sealing.
Add lid and ring and tighten fingertip tight.
Fill pressure Canner with jars.
Process pints for 75 minutes for pints and 90 minutes for quarts @ 10 lbs pressure, or what is recommended for your altitude.

Venison MUST be Pressure Canned
Meats, poultry and seafood are low acid foods (pH above 4.6) that provide a good environment for the growth of Clostridium botulinum, the bacterial cause of botulism. These foods must be pressure canned for safety
Canning Venison
Fresh venison should be canned immediately or refrigerated or frozen.
Venison refrigerated in moisture-proof plastic wrap or in clean plastic storage
bags should be canned within 2 or 3 days.
Wild meat is highly perishable, so care is needed to maintain its quality. In the kitchen, raw meat and cooked meat should be kept separate to prevent
cross-contamination. Knives, hands and cutting boards should be washed oftenwith warm, soapy water. Fat and inedible parts should be trimmed from the carcass.
When preparing for canning choose high-quality, chilled venison. If frozen, thaw completely in the refrigerator, under cold running water or in the microwave. Remove sinew and excess fat. Soak strong-flavored wild meats for 1 hour in brine water containing 1 tablespoon of salt per quart. Rinse venison. Remove large bones. Cut into 1-inch wide strips, cubes or chunks.
Hot pack
Precook meat until rare by roasting, stewing, or browning in a smalls mount of fat. Add ½ teaspoon of salt per pint or 1 teaspoon of salt per quart to the jar, if desired. Pack hot meat loosely into hot jars leaving 1-inch headspace. Fill jars with boiling broth, meat drippings, water, or tomato juice, (especially for wild game) to 1 inch from top of jar. Remove bubbles, wipe jar rims, adjust lids and process in pressure canner.
Raw pack
Add 1 teaspoon of salt per pint or 2 teaspoons of salt per quart to the jar, if
desired. Fill jars with raw meat pieces, leaving 1-inch headspace. Do not add
liquid. Wipe jar rims, adjust lids and process in pressure canner.
Process jars in a dial-gauge pressure canner at 11 pounds pressure at altitudes of 0 to 2,000 ft or at 12 pounds pressure at altitudes of 2,001 to 4,000 ft.
Process jars in a weighted gauge pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure at
altitudes of 0 to 1,000 ft or at 15 pounds pressure at altitudes above 1,000 ft. For hot and raw pack jars, process pints for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes.
These procedures apply to the selection, preparation and canning process for
other red meats (bear, beef, lamb, pork, sausage, veal) as well. Just rememberthat spoilage and disease-causing microorganisms thrive on venison and other meats. Following the four “C’s” (clean, chill, don’t cross contaminate, and pressure can properly) is critical to producing safe, high-quality, canned meats. If you are
new to canning, see HGIC 3040 Canning Foods at Home for a step by step description of the process for pressure canning.
