    Thank you SOO much!! I found split chicken breasts on sale for 97 cents a
    pound. A friend and I bought a ton, watched your video, and then canned all
    our freshly deboned breast meat. We now have twelve quarts of home canned
    chicken just waiting for a casserole, quesadillas, or soup!

    Warm soapy water? How about some bleach?
