CANNING SURPLUS CHICKEN

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Canning the surplus birds from the
home poultry flock is oftentimes an
economical practice. Either young or
old birds may be canned by home
methods. Plump welI-fed hens two
years old have as good texture AMI
better flavor when canned than six
months old chickens.
Prepare the chicken for canning as
you would for cooking. Pick, SINCE.
remove pin feathers, and wash the
birds. Then disjoint and Gu. them in
the usual pieces, and discard the en-
trails. Remove and discard the oil
sac and the lungs and kidneys, and
do not use the giblets and eggs for
canning. Be particularly careful not
to break the gall bladder If this
does happen, do not use that chicken
for canning because it will have a
very unpleasant taste. Trim off any
large pieces of fat. If there is a
great deal of fat in the jar, it is like
ly TO cook out on the rubber ring dur
ing the processing and may cause it
TO slip, thus spelling the seal. Cut
the white meat in large pieces from
the breast bone and shoulders. Leave
the meat on the bones in the other
pieces. Cut the neck off close to the
body, and use it and the other very
bony pieces, such as the back and per-
haps the feet, after they have been
skinned, for making broth to fill up
the jars. Cover these bony pieces
with lightly sailed cold water, bring
to the boil, and simmer for Is min
utes TO make this broth.
Chicken should be packed hot into
hot, clean jars. 1t may be prepared
for packing in either of two ways.
Simmer the pieces of chicken in a
small quantity of water until it is
boiling hot all through. Or scar the
pieces In hot fat until they are golden
brown, and then pour hot broth over
them and let them heat through to
boiling temperature. Do not roll the
meat in -four before cooking. because
this makes it more difficult to process
effectively.
Pack the pieces of hot chicken In
pint jars Put some white and some
dark meat into each jar, or pack all
the white meat into separate jars if
desired for some special use. Be
sure, however, not to get so close a
pack that the broth cannot circulate
freely in the jar Two four-pound
birds, when cut up and cooked ready
for packing into the jars, viii fill five
pint jars. Add a half teaspoonful of
salt to each pint jar and enough boil

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
The canning of meats on the farm
has become one of the most impor-
tant methods OF food preservation.
Only meats that have been freshly
killed and Clearly handled should be
preserved In this way. The United
States Department Of Agriculture
recommends that the steam pressure
Gamer should always be used. A
high temperature of go degrees,
equivalent TO a steam pressure of Is
pounds per square inch, is required
TO sterilize meats properly and pre-
vent spoilage.
Prepare for Canning.
After sIaughtering, the meat may
be prepared for canning as soon as
the animal heat has disappeared. The
directions below are given for cam
ming roast pork, but they may be ap-
piled TO similar cuts of beef or lamb.
The meat should always be cooked
and seasoned before it is canned
whether it is roasted, fried, baked or
stewed-just as though for immediate
serving, so that the flavor will be re-
tanned. 1t need not be cooked tender,

but it should be cooked until the CEN
ter is no longer red. Pack the meat
as hot as possible. Remove all bones
and fill up the jar or can with hot
gravy stock, so that the sterilization
period will not be longer than neces-
Sary.
Either glass Jars or tin cans may
be used for canning meats. Full di-
rections for each step in the process
in either case will be found in Farm
ers' Bulletin 11S6-F, PORK on the
Farm" and also recipes for preparing
the various parts of the hog in differ
ent ways for canning. The f1avoring
and proportions in these recipes may
be varied to suit individual taste, but
the length of time and temperature
for the processing period of each
meat or mixture should never be
changed.
Piece for Roasting.
In the case of pork, the ham. shoul-
der or lOin is generally used for roast
ing. Scrape the skin clean and wipe
ii with damp cloth. If the ham is
used and the skin is left on, cut with
the point Of knife just through the
skin so as TO dice it, and trim with
cloves and tufts of parsley if desired.
Salt and pepper TO taste should be
Sprinkled over the ham, Heat in a
roasting pan from two TO three table
spoOnfuls of grease. Put in the roast
when this is hot and scar il quickly
all over TO seal the pores and prevent
loss of the juice of the meat. Add
two small turnips TO the roasting pan
and from one-half TO one cupful of
boiling water Leave skin side UT
and do not turn, but haste frequently.
When cooked through and nicely
Drowned, slice and pack in cans or
jars to within one~half inch of the top
of the can Add the gravy from the
roasting pan, or soup stock so that
it barely covers the meat. Close the
can or jar, and process it in the steam
pressure cooker. No. 2 cans or pint
jars are processed for a. to fifty min
utes at $50 degrees Fahrenheit or Is
pounds of steam pressure. No. 8
cans or quart jars from 80 to 60 min
utes at the same pressure. In case
the meat is fat, time for processing
must be prolonged 10 minutes.
