What meats do you can other than veni?

[Cooter]

Had a canning party last weekend, I didn't have much veni for that so bought some pork butt and beef roast. Haven't tried the beef yet but the port was outstanding. So easy to store and quick to make a meal I plan on doing some more canning. I would think chicken would be good as well. Any other ideas?

Cooter, I've canned salmon, rabbits, whole grouse in pint jar, and venison. Canned rabbit and grouse are very good. Didn't add them to any recipes, just ate it right out of the jar.

One of my old duck huntin' buddies cans a lot of the ducks that he shoots. Not bad, even makes it taste somewhat tolerable, not so much like "flying livers".

Can you tell me a good recipe for canning any of the above? I have started canning recently and have all necessary equipment to do the canning, but have yet to try canning meat. I have had good success with broth and soup. Thank you.

I don't get carried away when canning. Salt and pepper for the meant and just salt for the fish. Follow the proper canning procedures, those can be found on-line at any county extension site.

Frank - if you plan on doing salmon anytime soon let me know, my bud has a simple recipe he does with brook trout that is fabulous.

Cooter, I did do some brook trout many years ago and it was pretty good. I'd like to see your recipe.

Most of the salmon I canned was when I lived in AK working the summers there. I lived in a wall tent from April-Oct. No refrigeration other then a hole in the ground with a cooler as a liner. I ate fresh salmon a lot, the canned stuff was to take back to MN.

Having Lake Superior here and as a troller, I'll smoke or grill most of the lake trout and salmon. Cohos get sauteed in butter. Having said that I haven't canned any trout or salmon for a while.

I used to fish MI lower P for steelehead quite often.

I would smoke those steelhead in cherry wood of coarse then can them. Since you lose moister during smoking, I'd add a little peanut oil to jar.

That was very good. I'll note that Lake MI steelhead and salmon

don't have the blaze orange flesh that Superior and Ocean run steelhead and salmon have. Table fair wise they aren't nearly as good either. Canning and or smoking them helps them out. Your canning recipe might be a very good option there. Post it up.

I'll get it and post it. Open the jar, stir, put on crackers....mmmmmmmm. I believe its nothing more than vinegar and ketchup but I'll double check.
