Anybody over here do any meat canning? Ive been thinking bout getting into it.... Heard it makes a great way to preserve game meat and can be delicious.
I've had more canned venison that I could ever remember. Step mom canned deer stew by the hundreds of qts.
Good too. Sorry, I don't have the exact recipe, but I just remember her cooking stew then canning it.
We used to can sausage when I was growing up. It was the best sausage I ever had. I have tried canned deer meat, and to be honest, I just don't care for it at all. I'm not a boiled meat/stew loving kind of guy.
I broke out a pint and made Tacos during the storm and they were great. I don't like the way the stew meat looks when it's canned at all. I don't think you could get the kids and the misses to eat it. Now s far as taste goes that's a different matter! It's down right good over rice, taters and pasta. Check it out on the web before you start.
Maybe it doesn't look very appealing in the jar, but the taste overrides all other senses. It's fantastic. We can deer and bear. Just yesterday, we canned 11 quarts of bear meat. My kids love it. Most of the time, we serve it in brown gravy over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes. I've taken it to church dinners and didn't tell anyone what it was and no one there suspected it was anything other than pot roast.
Is that a finished product in the jars? I asked because that seems to be a lot of headspace. I know you know what you're doing I just have never can meet before.
