Canning Deer

[wernerjd]

I know that the Amish do this. I just talked to one last week and he cans deer every year. I dont have the directions but if you have any locally just ask. There some of the most polite people there are.

Hawken, thanks for the info...I didn't look to see what size that cooker was.

I'm going to have to try something besides the standard burger, roasts, steaks, and jerky.

We canned a bunch last year and we are doing a whole lot more this year, the stuff is awesome. We just cut ours into 1" cubes stuffed the jar almost to the top and added beef boulion without water. It is awesome in stew and stroganoff or even just eatin it out of the jar.

Wife and I have been canning for 30+ years. All of the suggestions on this topic have been very good. I would just reccommend that you find a recipe on canning meat in your canner package if buying a canner. Also the larger canner is your best choice. We have used both the large and small canners for our canning purposes, sometimes both of them at the same time. Your canning times are just different. Have also done the hot water bath method and the oven method of canning but don't care for either of them as well. As far as adding items into your processing it can be done you just have to use the longer processing time reccommended. You can cann it as chunk meat, cut into strips, steaks, roasts, meatballs, spaghetti or chili sauces with equal success. Good Luck and have fun with it.
