CANNING CHICKEN

With the time of year for culling the
poultry yard approaching, homemak-
ers are thinking about preserving
some of the plump hens not earning
their board as layers. Two years obi
or older birds are the best for canning,
the long processing, necessary to ster-
ilize any meat overcooks tender young
chickens and makes it lose flavor and
develop stringy texture. Only with a
pressure Gamer is it possible to main
tain a temperature above boiling in
side a can or jar-the heat required to
kill bacteria that may cause dangerous
food poisoning. It's not safe to can
poultry in water baths, steam cookers
without pressure or in the oven, be-
cause the temperature in them never
gets above boiling.
After the bird has been selected and
we'll dressed the pieces should be
placed in three groups-the meaty
pieces, the bony pieces, and the glib
lets. The meaty pieces, which are
canned whole, are breasts, thighs, legs

them. The water should come within
/ u to 2 inches of the top of the cans.
Cover the bath to hold in the steam
and heat, and be careful the water does
not bubble up into the cans. Heat until
the meat is steaming hot and has prac-
tically lost its raw color. To make
sure, empty several cans and examine,
Press the chicken down in the cans
and cover with broth. Leave SIG of ar
inch head space in either number or
212 cans. Seal at once and process at
Is pounds pressure-55 minutes for
chicken with bone; IS minutes for
boned chicken and number 2 cans. Or

and upper wing joints. Bony pieces
for making the canning broth are the
backs, wings, necks and sometimes the
feet after they are skinned. Giblets,
because of their distinctive flavor and
color, should be canned separately.
Whether chicken is canned with or
without its skin, is matter of per-
sonal preference. And the bones may
be canned OF not. It's better to can
bones, however, because then the
chicken has a better flavor. Also the
bones help to conduct the heat into the
meat and in that way shorten the pro-
cessing time.
To make broth for the canning liquid
cover the bony pieces with cold water,
lightly sailed. Simmer until the meat
is tender and drain off the broth. Use
this "as isl, or for a thickened broth
around the chicken, add 5 tablespoons
of granulated gelatin to each quart of
broth. Moisten the gelatin with a little
cold liquid then dissolve it in the hot
broth. Meat stripped from the bones
of these pieces cooked for broth may
be canned as small pieces or used to
make sandwich spread,
For chicken to be packed in glass
jars, the best way to pre-cook the
meaty pieces is to spread them on a
rack in an uncovered pan and heat

them in moderate oven $3.50 degrees
F.. Cook the pieces for 20 to 80 min
utes or until the red color of the raw
meat is practically gone next to the
bones. Second best method is to par
boil the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes.
Canned fried chicken is not only unap-
petizing, hard and dry, but it also has
disagreeable flavor after storage.
Pack the hot chicken closely into the
jars, leaving about z inch head
space" between the top Of the jar and
the chicken. Add p teaspoon salt for
each pint of meat. Add any pan drip
pings or broth left over from the pre-
cooking, then cover the chicken with
the broth made from the bony pieces.
Chicken packed in pint jars with the
bones left in should be processed for
IS minutes at Is pounds pressure. Pro-
cess boned chicken IS minutes.
When chicken is canned in tin-plain
tin is best, and number 2 and number
21a cans the most suitable sizes. Put
salt in the cans before packing the
chicken into them. If it is placed on
top the meat, the tin lids sometimes
rust. Use q teaspoon salt to a number
2 or 21a tin can.
Pack the pieces of raw chicken
closely into the cans. Then put them
in bath of boiling water to Exhaust
