Pressure Canning Bone Broth (Chicken, Beef, or Turkey)

Pressure canning bone broth takes your delicious chicken broth, beef broth, or turkey broth and turns it into a convenient, shelf stable food.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Serving Size 1 Quart Jars

Ingredients

  • 1 Quart Bone broth of your choosing chicken, beef, turkey, pork, etc

Instructions

Prepare and Fill the Jars

  • Fill the jars with the bone broth of your choosing (beef broth, turkey broth, chicken broth, etc)
  • Leave 1 inch head space
  • Wipe the rims of the jar with a clean dish towel or paper towel that is damp with white vinegar.
  • Place the gasket lid on the center of the jar before putting on the ring.
  • Tighten the ring to finger tip tightness.

Process the Jars

  • Add two inches of water to the canner before adding the jars.
  • Tighten the lid without the weight first.
  • Turn the burner on to medium heat to medium-high heat, and allow the pressure canner to heat up. As the canner heats, the pressure will build and lift the vent.
  • Vent for 10 minutes then add the weight.
  • Bring up to 10 pounds pressure, or the correct pressure for your altitude, and adjust the heat to maintain pressure.
  • Check your manufacturer's instructions for the correct pressure requirements for your altitude.
  • The processing time for quart jars is 25 minutes. (The processing time for pint jars is 20 minutes.)
  • After the time is up, turn off the stove, but leave the canner on the burner.
  • Once the vent has dropped, wait an additional 10 minutes before opening the canner.
  • Allow the jars to sit for 5-10 more minutes after removing the lid.
  • Using a jar lifter, move the jars of pressure canned bone broth to a folded dish towel or drying mat to protect your counters from the heat, and protect the jars from the cold.
  • Serve & enjoy!

Notes

A full canner load in my case would be 7 quarts or about 28 cups of bone broth. However, you do NOT need a full canner load to run a pressure canner! If you have leftover broth you'd like to store in the pantry, give this recipe a try!
