Could I just ask how you can the food please? do you just heat up the jars and the food and add it in when it's hot, do you need to add preservatives and how do you store it? thanksss

OP, I'm ashamed to admit I've never canned anything. I hope this year, my garden will produce so much, I won't have a choice. I think it must be so great, in the middle on winter, to walk in the pantry and grab something that you grew in your garden.
BTW, you canning look beautiful. I hope when I'm ready you will give me some tips. Maybe you could do a guest blog on the subject for my blog.

DEFINITELY NOT that simple! You have to make sure you process it either in a Hot Water Bath or a pressure canner...
please look into Canning for dummies book and the Ball canning book; both you can find the links to this post along w/other important info:

You don't keep the gizzards???!!! They are the best! Livers are pretty good too!!

We are processing a week from today and I can't wait!! I just hope my new canner gets here soon!! I just ordered a 15 1/2 qt pressure canner from Amazon (cheapest price around!) I have a pressure canner that my grandma gave me but I don't like it. It is the rubber seal style and I prefer the screw down kind. We eat a lot of food that canned chicken would really come in handy and I admit to buying canned chicken occasionally...

I have heard that if you like the canned stuff in the stores, then you will love home canned chicken.

we got the 23 qt one on amazon it was only $10 or so more (Presto) and I can double my amt of canning at one time...
you will learn to love your pressure canner!!

Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing.

Can't wait to look up some of your recipes.

I just sat down myself from making strawberry jam. Tomorrow we pick clover and honeysuckle for jellies.

I just love canning season.
