Yard sales & estate sales are better than thrift stores, but I found canning jars at DI, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, & Bonneville Humane Society. The trick is to look for them at times other than July, August & September. Everyone else is looking for them, too, at those times, & they fly off the shelves. I have also had good luck letting neighbors & friends know that I am looking & what price I will pay, because the more sets of eyes looking, the better the chances to find something. Several times I have also been blessed with jars when helping people move. They get to the canning, & they are tired, & they sort out the "old stuff" (over 3-4 years old) and want to dump it all in the trash. I just told them I'd take it, & they were happy to get rid of it. :DMarivenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132799501322678149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-8993500103062191542013-08-17T11:42:45.215-07:002013-08-17T11:42:45.215-07:00Great idea.

I think I would probably strip any leftover bits of meat from the chicken carcass, & pack a couple of the jars half full with it, before adding the broth. You're already processing for the amount of time the meat needs, & those little pieces of meat would be wonderful in the sauce over cooked rice, etc. You are so right about building a pantry a few jars at a time, from things others throw away.Marivenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13132799501322678149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-78387449842147108672012-10-21T21:50:54.068-07:002012-10-21T21:50:54.068-07:00Years.

It's taken years for me to build my inventory to what it now is. I'm guessing I have about 2000 jars of various sizes, nearly all of them full. However my youngest brother sent me $50 for my 50th birthday, and I plan to buy five (or so) dozen NEW pint jars because I'm flat out of them and I can't seem to find many used ones in thrift stores.<br /><br />So you too should keep your eyes peeled for any second-hand jars you come across. I generally won't pay more than $0.50/jar (which comes in at $6/dozen) for used jars, since if they're more expensive than that, I may as well spend a bit more and get them new when they go on sale at various places.<br /><br />Happy canning!<br /><br />- Patrice<br />Patrice Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012022335047974670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-62741012537949966002012-10-20T12:31:50.509-07:002012-10-20T12:31:50.509-07:00this recipe sounds yummy!

I might have to try it when my husband comes home. <br /><br />where do you get all your jars from? more people must can in east Idaho, cause even when I go into walmart here in Idaho falls, there is only like one or two cases of jars left on the shelf? Very rarely do I find jars at DI, or other thrift stores.<br />I'm proud to say that I have used all of my jars, except about a dozen wide mouths this last month. I don't know if that is a good thing, but at least it shows that I'm trying. my last canning project consisted of 11 quarts of chicken this past Monday.<br /><br />anyway, thanks for the recipe of orange chicken.<br />your blog is awesome! I referenced you to a couple of my friends on Facebook, about canning bacon!<br /><br />shalaeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-81080864721672763582012-10-19T18:31:37.507-07:002012-10-19T18:31:37.507-07:00That sounds wonderful!

All leftover skin bones and veggies go back in after supper. I add more onion, garlic, celery and so forth and simmer for several hours. (Don't forget the vinegar.) I always have fresh, gelatinous stock in the refrigerator.<br /><br />Having a hot, steaming mug of broth to hand someone when they're tired and or chilled can work small miracles of comfort and love. <br /><br />Uh oh.
