| | We got a ham on sale for 1.49 per pound. I first cut off 3 pretty good ham steaks and put them in the freezer. I trimmed the meat from the bone and used it to can 7 quarts of ham and bean soup. There was another 2 quarts that we froze. I put the fat away to render later to make lye soap. I took the meaty bone and fed it to our chickens.
I also bought 10 pounds of chicken legs @59 cents per pound. I removed the skin, bones and cartilage and canned 4 pints of chicken meat. Then I took the offal, threw in onion and celery, added water and canned 7 quarts of chicken stock. I threw the bones, skin, etc. into the composter. Feeding chicken scraps to the chickens just didn't seem right. |
