Canning Big Batch Chicken Broth

Using the carcasses of 4 Costco rotisserie chickens we make a large batch of chicken broth in our turkey roaster. We used two canners to get the job done.

Last Christmas (2022) my son (GRT Ranch Adventures here in KZbin) taught me how to pressure can dry beans on a canner I had purchased for him at a yard sale! I was hooked after experiencing the superior flavor with no added weirdness! I started watching your channel and others and began canning everything! Fast forward to this Christmas (2023) our son brought about 100lbs of fresh ground beef from the ranch as a gift to me and his 2 sisters. We spent a whole day processing ground beef, Salisbury steaks, Italian meatballs and hamburger stew! It took 2 rounds of 7 canners of various sizes on 3 different camp chef cookers but we each got over 50 jars of shelf stable main dishes for our pantry’s! I love your channel and feel like we are old friends. Thank you so much for influence.

[@MaryWehmeier]

Good for you! So jealous!

[@starrstylist7441]

That is amazing, WELL DONE! And the taste is beyond any food you can buy in a can! Enjoy!

[@Micah6-8walk]

That popping is crazy! Never experienced that before. A possible next step for you, although tedious, is to pick out the bones and dry them in the oven. Then powder them to make bone meal for your garden. Using almost every part of the chicken is a satisfying feeling.

[@MQ-cw9qx]

I had never thought of doing that! What a great idea.

[@mommajubby3385]

I do this with all of my meat bones, and had the best tomato harvest ever! I have a running winter stash of dried eggshells, banana peels and bones ready for grinding in the spring.

[@buckonono7996]

Great idea! What do you use to powder the bones?

[@mommajubby3385]

@@buckonono7996 I have a blender from the thrift store, so my better blender doesn’t get beat up.

[@Micah6-8walk]

Just my ninja blender. The bones are soft from cooking and drying them

[@KitchenFairy61]

I took a page from your video a few years ago when you mad roasted turkey bone broth. I roast my onions, chicken bones and wings at 400°F for 55 minutes to an hour, checking them halfway through so that I can turn the bones over to get nice and brown allover. This makes the most flavorful bone broth! I also use my Oster roaster oven to make my big batches of broth. After Thanksgiving I roasted the bones of 2 turkeys and made 12 quarts of turkey bone broth. I don't use carrots as I find they make the broth too sweet. Onions, celery and garlic are my favorites. Without your channel I never would've learned how to can. Keep up the good work! ❤ to you both!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you for your comments and experiences. Jim

[@allieprivate4013]

Thank you to all that said to allow the Nesco to sit for an hour before opening! I just got one for Christmas and I would have freaked out if this had happened to me! I have had the regular stovetop canner for 4 years and still afraid to use it! Thanks everyone and Happy New Year 2024🎉

[@jenniferr2057]

I believe the nesco says to let it set an hour after unplugging before opening and removing jars. I learned this after experiencing the horizontal siphoning personally!

[@shannonbrinkley5348]

I understand about peeling root veggies and tomatoes to reduce botulism spores. What about onion skins since they are root vegetables?

[@PASTORSHARON]

I wondered about that, too. Though everyone I follow throws the peels in as well.

[@jwll970]

Before pressure canning broth, you need to skim the fat by refrigerating it overnight so the fat comes to the top and you can skim it off. The reason for this is fat has a different density than broth and the temperature may not reach the correct level for long enough if there’s too much fat in the broth. Just bring it to a boil after skimming the fat and continue with the canning process. Also, if there’s any siphoning of the liquid in your jars, the fat can cause the seal to fail when it gets between the glass jar and the seal of the canning lid. :-)

[@FirstLast-vy6rn]

Perfect timing, thanks! I've been saving up chicken carcasses in my freezer and I'm running out of space so it's time for me to try making broth.

[@havingfunatthis]

I usually let the Carey (Nesco) canner rest for a couple of hours or more before opening it. I haven't experienced syphoning although it was helpful to see that it could happen! Thank you for putting out this video. It has educated so many of us!

[@lcinflorida8728]

😲 WOW! You've not joking about "big batch"!! TYVM for another great vid 😃👍

[@Overhill_Farm]

I always let my Nesco do a natural pressure release for a minimum of one hour, then I crack the lid with a wooden spoon handle for 10 minutes before fully opening the lid. I then let the jars sit for 5 minutes before I take them out of the canner. I never have a problem with siphoning, even with broth. It does take some extra time to do it this way though.

[@jhwilliams6550]

Thank you. I have canned several jars of pot roast and have had siphoning with at least one jar in each batch and have been trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I think the waiting after you completely open the lid may help. I noticed that even after an hour the pressure is still not fully down in the canner so should I treat it like a regular canner and wait until the pressure is completely down?

[@kristanichols6215]

I like the spout on the measuring cup ,the liquid doesn't dribble back and make a mess,awesome. You are such a blessing to canner and want to be canner like me,l don't rely on information from anyone but you,thanks so much for being a wonderful educator,enjoyed the symphony from the jars of broth !!!

[@paulwilliams200]

I am pleased to see that you are leaving 1" headspace in the canning jars when canning stock (unlike a recent video where you left only about 1/2" headspace - and the jars syphoned [erupted) all over the counter]. When I use my Presto Digital canner, I don't open it until AT LEAST 30 minutes after is says "Done". In fact, I often leave it for an hour or so before loosening the lid, and another 15 minutes before I remove the jars. I also leave my Induction-ready Presto 23 qt canner for at least 30 minutes after all pressure has dissipated. NO SYPHONING PROBLEMS yet. The digital canners are relatively well insulated - which increases the cool-down period until well after all the pressure is released.

This is another great video. I had done something similar a few weeks ago. I was in town and made a rare stop at Costco to get three rotisserie chicken. We are done if one for dinner. I deboned the rest and put the shredded meat into gallon bags and froze it. I don’t have a really big stockpot, so I divided the bones and skin amongst my two largest pots with aromatics and water. I ended up with 4 quarts and five pints (I have the smallest All American) + 1/2 pint in the fridge. It turned out really nice and gelatinous ❤. Will continue to do this each time I get to town

I just canned quarts of chicken bone broth for the first time (I usually just do pints), and this happened to me, using the same canner (mine's a Carey). I had watched this video when it was first uploaded, but I couldn't remember the final conclusion regarding the out of control popping, so I came back to watch it again. I'm relieved to know that there's nothing to worry about regarding the popping, as long as they are sealed when all the popping stops. I have never experienced this when canning pints so I was a little worried. Thanks for putting this video out there for those of us who are still learning!

[@nanakat2005]

I'm SO glad you made this video today, since I had all that lid popping going on at the end of the broth canning process. It was my fourth time canning broth in the same canner and the lids had NEVER done that repeated seal/unseal thing. I wasn't sure if I could trust the seals at all. Thank you for assuring me the seals are safe. My husband and I have a theory the cause of that is not any particular brand of canner (I was using an All American), but possibly something to do with atmospheric conditions. My kitchen was hotter than it had ever been during canning (our wood burning stove had the house nice and toasty and the canning process finished getting the house up to 80 degrees farenheit).

[@lionheart830]

Good possibility.

I also let my Nesco canner stand for an hour or two, at a minimum. I think it is in the directions to do so, anyway. I also slowly open the lid and let it vent steam slowly for a while. I have NEVER had that symphony of popping happen, tho. What kind of lids are those? When I make broth, I use my pressure cooker. Also, I let it cool in the fridge overnight and remove any schmaltz before I put it in the jars. I put the lids and rings on and let it come to room temp before I pressure can it.

[@lisaneff9024]

I do this every year with turkey bones after Thanksgiving but without veg. Too hard to separate the remaining meat/bones. The meat and cartilage goes to my dogs. Some of the broth goes into ice cube trays and freezer for when I need just a little broth but not a whole jar.

[@AB-wz3xs]

The broth is such a nice colour! I noticed that you don’t cool to separate the fat and would love to see the cooled product in jars . My broth never looks that good even after I’ve strained through layers of cheese cloth …always some cloudiness .

[@danniemcdonald7675]

I read that cloudy broth can be the result of *boiling it or simmering at too high a temperature. It needs to simmer low and slow. What happens is that, at high temperatures, the fat is incorporated ( they used another word that escapes me ... integrated?) in the broth and can not separate. I don't really mind when that does happen. I just use that broth in stews, cream soups, etc. 😊

You probably can, like powdered milk, but you're going to spend a lot of time and energy dehydrating the broth. It might be cheaper and easier to just find an organic bullion you like.

Just so long as you don't leave the jars too long in the canner or flat sour will form.

[@ktmoore1960]

Happy New Year.🎉 I make my broth in my turkey roaster also whenever I make it. I have 2 Nesco canners. It's funny because they are the same and yet different. One is a trouble maker and the other I do not seem to have any issues with cyphoning. I too let mine sit for an hour before I check it. I use an oven mitt to check the regulator to test to see if it is ready to open. As long as it does not vent and release pressure I am good to go with opening the canners. I also add a bit of vinegar to the water in the canner and it really helps to keep the jars clean. Any left over broth and at least 1 quart then goes in my dehydrator...carefully and I powder it so if I only need a little bit for cooking. I love that you strain it once straight into the jar. Oh my goodness I lose so much straing and restraing through cheese cloth. As always thank you to you and Jim (happy belated birthday ... mine was yesterday so I am in the New Years baby club as well) for all of your time, knowledge and hard work.

Electric canners hold heat longer then stove top canner takes longer time to cool down l usually wait 20 to 40 minutes after it pressures down on my electric before I take the top off

[@rosemarybutt2608]

That pop/unpop happened to one of my jars just recently after pressure canning turkey broth. Very disconcerting! All jars sealed and although I had purposed to put the popper/unpopper jar in the fridge but after it cooled off, I couldn't remember which one of the batch it was!

Please double-check your electric pressure canner manual for quart jars. I only use wide mouth quarts in mine (per manual) without any problems. The regular mouth jars are a tad taller. Thank you so much for all of your videos!

Yes, I know it says that, but I have talked to the inventor of that canner--he contacted me after I made a video on scientifically testing the canner, and I told him I used regular mouth jars and he said it was really no problem.

What I've learned is to do with my Nesco is to unlock the lid and pop it ajar for 30 minutes. This canner really holds the heat.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that I read that you are supposed to let the Nesco sit for an hour before opening the top. That's very similar to the amount of time it takes the instant pot Max to sit / wait after finishing. With the instant pot, the wait time is built in and you have no option to open the lid before it's ready.

Weird! I have never heard/seen the symphony of lids. When my Nesco’s pressure is naturally released, I turn the regulator to Exhaust and unlock the lid, but I let it sit for about an hour before I even lift the lid. I’ve made broth using the roaster oven but have never had the gelatin form. A couple of days ago I used the Instant Pot and had beautiful gelatin! I was so happy! The only issue is the quantity is obviously lower using the Instant Pot. Happy New Year!

Same. The instant pot is great, but max 6qts for mine. Still worth it.
