INSTRUCTIONS
Procedure: Choose freshly killed and dressed, heathy animals. Large
chickens are more flavorful than fryers. Dressed chicken should be chilled
for 6 to 12 hours before canning. Dressed rabbits should be soaked 1 hour
in water containing 1 tablespoon of salt per quart, and then rinsed. Remove
excess fat. Cut the chicken or rabbit into suitable sizes for canning. Can
with or without bones.
Hot pack--Boil, steam or bake meat until about two-thirds done. Add 1
teaspoon salt per quart to the jar, if desired. Fill jars with pieces and
hot broth, leaving 1-1/4 inch headspace.
Raw pack--Add 1 teaspoon salt per quart, if desired. Fill jars loosely with
raw meat pieces, leaving 1-1/4 inch headspace. Do not add liquid.
Adjust lids and process following the recommendations in Table 1 or Table 2
according to the canning method used.
