Hey everyone,
My family has been cutting up our deer and canning the meet for as long as I can remember. I use the canned meat in place of anything that I would make with hamburger. It is cooked before it is put in the jar and pressure canned so it is always ready to be eaten.

Hot venison sandwiches are the best ever. You take a peice of bread, a nice helping of warmed up canned venison with a packet of onion soup mix and top it off with slap of raw onion and some horseradish mustard. One more piece of bread and you have a meal fit for a king. Nothing better. Big parties are not a problem, open 2 jars. Most people can't even tell the difference between beef and venison.

I always used to can venison in quart jars and most of it in pint jars. It fast, easy to use, and because I canned just the meat alone, could be seasoned to taste with anything at hand. Also used to render the body fat of pig and bear till first wife tried to strain it into a plastic container. Hot fat and plastic, she was crying when I got home, she meant well!

Used to pickle wild asparagus, but everyone wanted a quart so quit. Couldn't pick and can enough for everyone.

I have canned several deer.Very good and tender. I put some barbque sause in with some of it and it made a great sandwich, hot or cold. Haven't done for several years now. I'm just too busy in the fall but I'ed like to do it again...P

Paul,
I find that canning deer takes less time than doing it any other way. All you have to do is chop it up any old way. I like 1 1/2 inch cubes. Cross grain with grain it doesn't seem to matter, it is always tender. No packaging really to speak of. Just cook it up and put it in a jar with some juices.

I am curious about the barbeque

My family has always done this with goose. Damn is it nice!!!! I imagine the deer would be great too.

I am with you.

Would somebody please post exactly how to do this deer canning? I would like to try it this fall.

Canning meat takes special care .Use the right equipment and follow procedures exactly. If you don't you can get some nasty [fatal] food poisoning !!
