Pressure Canning Chicken Stock

I was pretty excited to get a pressure canner for Christmas. Granted it's a practical gift, and I'm a pretty practical person. Over new years weekend I had my first four pressure canning projects.



We had roast chicken for dinner one night. It was the perfect opportunity to boil the carcass down with vegetables and herbs and made a big batch of homemade chicken stock for our pantry.



It took a few moments to learn how to gauge the pressure in the canner, with the amount of gas I had burning underneath. Once regulated, the countdown begins on steam processing times.



The finished project. 7 pints of rich, dark, chicken stock chuck full of flavor. I love my new pressure canner. Simple pleasures. Nothing beats healthy, homemade food.
