Question from my inbox:

New to pressure canning, as in this was my first effort. I am sure I followed the directions for canning pint jars of chicken. I had three out of ten jars that didn't seal. Needless to say, I am concerned about the remaining jars. Will boiling the food for 10 minutes do the trick or should the dog eat very well?

Sharon's Answer:The jars that sealed should be fine. That is assuming you followed the correct processing time and pressure. Just place the jars that did not seal in the fridge and eat them up, or you could freeze the meat from the unsealed jars. Of course your dog will love you more and more if you treat him well! :0)

Question from my inbox:

Is canning precooked refrigerated meat the next day safe if you let the jars of meat come up to room temperature before canning? Answer:

If you have already filled your jars it won't work. The jars and contents should be hot before they go in the canner. You'll need to empty out the jars, reheat the meat and repack.

You are better off precooking your meat then store it in the fridge in some other container. The next day simmer your meat, pack your jars and then can them. Use recommended canning process for the type of meat you have. http://www.simplycanning.com/canning-meat.html

Sharon's answer...... Hi Kaye, You need to be sure they are defrosted before you try to can them. If it were me I'd just put them all in a large stock pot with a little liquid. Heat them until they are warm, then fill your jars. Instead of using boiling water to fill your jars. Heat the water that you had the cherries and and fill with that. You probably have already seen this but here is a link to my canning cherries page. Hope that helps! Sharon

Question from my inbox:

I raw canned some chicken yesterday. When I took it out of the canner the liquid in the jars was not to the top of the jars. It was only half way of 3/4 full. Will this canned chicken still be alright. The jars all sealed.

Answer:

Yes, this is normal. As long as you have processed correctly your chicken is fine.
