Canned venison recipes?

[emtbucket]

I hear this is very good and would like to make some. Any recipes would be helpful. All I know is you have to pressure cook it.

Thank you.

emtbucket, I'll try and get my Dad's recipe. We have been doing it for many years but he has alway's been in charge of the canning part. We did about 40 pints this year and it turned out awesome. Hopefully I can get it in the next couple of day's for you and post it here.

You must use a pressure cooker (not hot water bath)for pints: 10 lbs. of pressure for 75 mins.

Cut meat into 1" chunks don't worry about fat, it will melt and float to top of jar and can be removed easily before eating.

1/2 t. salt per jar

add whatever: hot peppers, onions, garlic or nothing but salt.

stuff jars within 1/2" of top, cram in as much as you can, use a wooden spoon.

DO NOT add any liquid

put the lids on and cook as above.

This makes a quick meal just with gravy and is soooo good. Use in chile, soup, stew or whatever. The second best part of canned venison is you don't have to worry about cleaning all the tallow off the meat. After cooling it floats to the top of the jar and gets hard, easy to remove. You will not regret canning venison.

almosthadabite, would the cooking time be the samefor quart jars? I like venison but I need to find something else to do with it, with 1 1/2 in the freezer, I was wondering what I'd do with another one if I would have got one during the late bowhunting. Will have to try the pressure cooking.

BLACKJACK, You will have to process quarts for 1 1/2 hours at 10 pounds.

I have done quarts, but it turns out to be a lot of meat for one meal. Real handy if your making large batches of chili.

Thanks for the replies, I'm going to try cooking some this weekend.
