Canning gizzards for giblet gravy- yep I am a southerner

[cackle]

I want to make a base to be used for making giblet gravy. I thought I would not add any thickener but pressure can in pints the meat and broth. Then add cornstarch when I make gravy. Any suggestions or reasons it would not work?

I had a large pan of gizzards from helping a neighbor process chickens and don't want them to be wasted.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Sound like a conservative idea. Go for it. Let us know how it turns out.

ETA: Someone actually asked me if I were going to can some of the ...... well, inard parts for this purpose. I told them no, that my sister was coming to pick up all the feet, livers, gizzards and necks from the butchering of our meat birds. No wasting here.

Your sister is lucky. I love giblet gravy with chicken and mashed potatoes. I have 9 pints in the pressure canner. If they turn out I will do more when we process our 23 birds. Ended up with an extra pint of broth which I am freezing.
