My 98 year old mother in law has dementia. I try to call her every day and tell her what I am doing. I told her I cleared my garden and we had "stabbed" potatoes for supper. She knew what i meant! She said you weren't very careful with the pitch fork when you were digging! I loved that she was right.
Thank you so much! You have completely inspired me. I’m making this tomorrow. I’ve been so intimidated by my pressure canner, but as I said, you inspired me and I am making this tomorrow, so thank you again for your wonderful videos.
Love this idea!!! You can also make a light roux with some butter and flour (I make them in batches and freeze in an ice cube tray) and then when you want to eat, add a cube or two to a pot, let it melt, dump the chicken and gravy on top and it will thicken nicely. That way, you don't have the raw flour taste.
@@saoirse_flies no, I make a roux with butter and flour and either milk or broth. Then I freeze it in ice cube trays and anytime I need to thicken something, I just throw a cube or two in to make a gravy.
@@cheryladamson3276 I would love to know, also! I know it's important for canning but the "why" will help me understand and then will be less afraid of canning! I think it has something to do with preserving the food safety
I used my quart jar to make chicken curry! I put a quart into a pan and started it heating up as I added: 2 T curry paste 1 can coconut milk 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp sugar 2/3 cup egg noodles. It was delicious!!
Oh my dear I LOVE you and watching everything you and your family do! I am 78 years old, and I wanted a farm girl life since I was a teenager! I was married to a dear man for 54 years who needed to be closer to his work than my farm would allow. Finally sold the farm and gave up on my dream. Always had wee garden spots and also large pots. I have had a wonderful life and 2 beautiful children, I am alone now, I believe God gave me what He knew I could manage❣️ To you and your family…..♥️
I have made this as well and it makes an amazing pot pie in addition to the recipes that you have mentioned. I also love the ease of coming home from work and whipping up a quick nutritious dinner in no time at all.
We call that little jar of gold, chicken stew, and it a favorite on our shelves. Beautiful garden, by the way. We just retired, and we're building a little house on our daughter's property. Hopefully, a garden will go in soon. My soul is screaming for some self-sufficiency!
That is fantastic! You could add corn, peas, green beans, shredded cheese and sour cream after thickening and make casserole or thicken then dump into pie crust for chicken pot pie. Bravo!!
I bought a Breville from your recommendations on another blog and I have to tell you it is such an amazing game changer!!! We also homestead and pulled in about 215 lbs of potatoes this year. It peeled and diced the potatoes in no time. Also onions and apples etc. That machine is a life saver!! Pricey but worth it!
My husband and I just started canning and your canning raw chicken video was the first thing we tried! It came out perfect as we tried one jar a few months later. Second, we canned the beef stew as our second project and we are awaiting the testing. I can’t wait to try this out! We are truck drivers over the road so I cannot wait to try this on our hometime. I plan on making homemade chicken stock and want to test one jar before doing it in bulk. I couldn’t stomach risking losing all of the work ha.
Thanks, Carolyn, for this 'taste' of what you teach us. There is so much more on your Homesteading Family website. I am so grateful to have a life membership. The recipes, the teaching, the policies, following FDA guidelines; it's worth every penny and more. Glad I joined. Now I can watch you on YT & get clips of a few more recipes for what you teach on your website is so much more than what YT can provide.
The wine isn’t for acid, it’s for flavor. You could can that in straight water if you wanted to. It’s the pressure canner doing the preserving. Just look at recipes for canning chicken or any of those vegetables- same time, same pressure, no acid.
I've never considered canning anything other than fruit so I love learning about the savory things you're doing. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to trying these! Blessings to you and your family.
Carolyn, I just finished my batch of this and will be using one of the jars for dinner tonight. Watching your videos has changed my home life for the better! I'm feeling so much more confident pressure canning and making some space in my freezer (which is very full) ❤ I also just got my "All new Ball book of canning" and will pull some recipes from there as well! Huge thank you from Tennessee! God bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you!
@@frugalmomofmany I think you might be right. I remember I would need some kind of adapter kit and I wasn't sure how well it would work. After seeing it in action I might take another look at it.
Gorgeous homestead you have created. We bought a nice acerage this yr and have plans to make it sustainable. With the state of the world it is imperative I think...hopefully there is time for us to create a sustainable life. I hate that money is vital to that kind of life and so many who dream of having that never will. As lucky as i am to have land...our only true armor for our souls is God. Stay blessed.
Hi Caroline, Thank you for demonstrating the total Canning process so very simply! I really love watching your videos. You have been such a great inspiration to me. ❤
I had just canned this product and was thinking about how to use it and up pops this video! Talk about timing. So far this has to be one of my favorite meals to can! Getting 5 different products from an easy canning product is amazing. How can you not love canning!
Thanks for sharing your source and your modification as well as clarifying the types of salt allowed (that's a source of confusion for me as a new canner)!
I was just looking around for just such a recipe! I just got an amazing deal on boneless skinless chicken thighs and my freezer is stuffed to the top so I can’t afford to put them in there. I have everything else needed so these will be in the canner tomorrow and on my shelf the next day. Thank you so much
This is on my list of meal preps for the coming weekend..just did 12 qts of beef stew! And previously did 9 pints of a boston butt. Thanks for this video!!
Just came across your channel. I am a pressure canner gal. Looking for deals on meats and veggies and get them asap in my pantry. I am looking forward to canning this recipe. I always change it from the books too. My husband and I are garlic FREEKS seriously I grew it at one time but never had enough lol lol Will try this recipe forsure. I just did 14 quarts of chicken pot pie. So this one is right up my ally. I keep bacon fat in my fridge at all times. I brown my stew meat etc... Now I put in my baking powder biscuits. S making some baking powder biscuit with your recipe is going to be just devine. ! Sorry folks who are grossed out by this but my mama always did this. We were hmmm very poor. Mama raised us 6 kids on her own and we never never went hungry. We utilized everything!! So appreciate your channel and look forward to viewing more recipes. Cheers Vancouver Canada
If you want to make it a little more convenient to thicken canned dishes prior to serving, you can blend flour with butter in a food processor, portion it out, and freeze it. Then, all whoever reheats it needs to do is add one portion per jar to the pot and simmer it until thickened.
Thank you for showing how to use this,I am making this tonight and was wondering about other ways to use it. I love your channel thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
I have that same cookbook for canning and yes I will definitely try this recipe..I’d prefer the wine vs vinegar seems the flavor would be so much richer 👍🏼😃 We need to have smell-a-vision for tv 👍🏼😄
Looks and sounds delicious! Can't wait to try. I'm glad to get the herded dumpling recipe. My wife and I just bought just a little less than an acre for our new homestead. Very exciting! Can't wait for next spring. Not wanting to wish our life away. Lol
What a beautiful video! You make using the American canner look so easy! I have had two failures with my first attempts at mine. I can never get it level and steam escapes and the pressure doesn’t rise. I have felt discouraged from trying again. I have watched other videos and followed the recommendations but to no avail! Anyway, thank you for such a fantastic video!
Just to let you know, the national Crner for home food preservation states when canning chicken, you need an inch and a quarter head space. Love this recipe. I am canning this next. Thank you for sharing.
I use modified cornstarch, the cook type to can gravy with meat. I can turkey & gravy in pint jars for my husband lunch. Others get so jealous of his lunches. Homemade fresh bread, turkey & gravy 😋
Hi Carolyn, I left you this comment on another video comments, it was too old video so will redo it here. First I love your videos and love what you and your family are doing. Keep up the good work, I am sure these videos are helping a lot that watch. I am a 75 year old woman and live in Western Arkansas. I have had some kind of garden since I was 3, and I have seriously been raising 90% of my family eat since I was 28. I bought my first freeze dryer in August. I have two points I feel is important about the freeze dryer and the freeze dried food. I love my freeze dryer, and I am thinking about getting a second one. Here is an important bit of information about these freeze dryers: I had a mess to clean up the first time I was freeze drying my pureed pumpkin: I had never knew and hadn't realized you should fill the trays two thirds full of semi-liquids or liquids because the pressure would cause the food to bubble over and make a mess to clean up. Here is my info that people need to know: Well I had one of these messes. While I was cleaning the tray box, I thought my little hands could slide inside those tray slots well like a big dummy I slid my hand in it. That was very bad Idea my hand slid inside and just like a razor sharp knife that edge of the tray holder slice a chunk of meat at the first knuckle: So people whatever you do do not attempt to stick your hand into those tray slots. We own an old farmhouse that is about 100 years old. Both of my pantries floors very unstable and I and feel as if they could give way to all of the weight. So I am going to take the canned goods out of the area that feels like the floors may collapse, and I am going to store the freeze dried foods there. The weight of the freeze dried is so much lighter weight than the canned food is. I am sold on these freeze dryers. It will be awhile before I can buy my next freeze dryer but I will buy a second one. Jessie from Arkansas

@@Mariaabroad that's really smart! Thanks for explaining... I'm going to start doing this too !
Why do you need to add an acid? Just trying to learn...

Thanks for sharing.
Oh Carolyn I’ve missed these wonderful videos!! I’m totally doing this next week!!! Thank You!!!
I’m so glad you use the Ball canning book. I worry that new canners don’t follow safe ways to can. I always buy a new ball canning book when canning.
Hello red
My husband and I just started canning and your canning raw chicken video was the first thing we tried! It came out perfect as we tried one jar a few months later.

Good Morning from Eastern Washington!
I've never considered canning anything other than fruit so I love learning about the savory things you're doing. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to trying these! Blessings to you and your family.
Thanks for watching!
You will enjoy having all those on hand when you want a quick meal. Soups, stews, spaghetti sauce, meatloaf, etc are so handy.
I love that you give (show) examples of what you can then do with the meal you've canned. 🙏

I literally said out loud, WOW! 😂At the dicing with the Breville food prossessor. So cool!
I have a Breville but that was before they came out with the dicer. That is so awesome!
I think you can buy the peel and dice kit to add to yours as long as you have the 16 cup processor.

6:50 I've never wanted a product more in my life.
Thank you for saying "elevation" rather than "altitude", as it relates to pressure canning.
I love that you follow safe canning rules!!
Hello Jo
There's nothing better than meals in a jar. 😊 I'm needing to check for videos on growing celery. I've not mastered growing that veggie yet.
Me, too!
I'm currently on my very first canning project with this recipe and my brand new All American 921. Thank you so much, Navy Mark...
I appreciate you making the meals and the suggestions. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks

And to top it off, I now know how to make dumplings.
Loved this video. This would make a fantastic complete cookbook. Start to finish and more :)
Thank you for the onion bit. I always get nuked by them when I’m doing any meal prep or cooking! 😂

Thanks for sharing the meal base!!! Great idea 💡
Glad to see you back in the kitchen...these are the ones I love to watch
Glad you like them!
I can this often for a chicken pot pie filling.

Suggestion : add a little water or milk to the flour stir until smooth then add to pot. This looks great.
Love watching your channel

Made this chicken and gravy recipe today. Will be glad to have it in my pantry. Thank you.
Oh my gosh! I have that canning book and hadn't seen that recipe. THANK YOU!

That looks soooooo YUMMO!! Guess what I will be preserving next??? hahaha
Nice All American canner the best out there.
